"How many ways do you know to modify the notes.ini file ?" said Gregory Engels, implying that he knew of at least 10 himself. Hell, I didn't know more than 4.
Gregory was stand-in on short notice for Paul Mooney, who had to cancel. I was really disappointed about that, mr. Mooney's presentation skills are among the best in the Lotus world, and his "Admin Blast" is more than an ordinary admin/geek session, it's more of a show actually, with lots of humour but still packed with valuable info.
Mr. Engels, on the other hand, did not disappoint his audience. He gave us two fine hours of useful and useless info about IDVault og DAOS, and ended up with a funny session about the NOTES.INI, with it's 8000 unofficial and undocumented parameters.
Everyone knows that the meaning of life, the universe and everything is 42, but few seem to know that the longest undocumented parameter in NOTES.INI is 54 characters long, (Adminp_Manage_Folder_On_Web_Delega
te_Disable=n) or that there even exists a parameter that disables the mouse in Lotus Notes. Once activated, your notes client will start to act really weird. Try it on your manager, perhaps combined with NoExternalApps=1.

Did you hear anything about the future of Lotus Traveler, like support for more phones and support for Linux-domino?
/Anders
Lotus Traveler 8.5.1 will have better support for iPhone, but I did not hear anything about support for more phone types. Seems like iPhone, Nokia (Symbian S60-3)and Windows Mobile are sufficient.
They did not mention anything about Traveler on Linux either.
New features like Remote Wipe were announced.
