<title>My Two Cents</title>

<dc:subject>Disaster in the Philippines; life is precious</dc:subject>
<description><![CDATA[Ian, I'd like to throw my two cents into the ring. As you may have read in previous blogs, Eric hasn't been visiting news websites for some time. While I do, and often mention events to him, the Philippine tragedy was real to him, as he was unable to communicate with clients he had just been speaking with the day prior. Thus, he learned about the tragedy from people who were living through it. He had recently visited the country and could visualize what was being described to him. I'm not quite sure how you could jump to the conclusion that religion is a factor here. In fact, we have supported relief agencies who are helping those suffering from the May typhoon. We did not ask the religious affiliation of the victims prior to doing so. So, there are the two cents from a wife protecting her husband's integrity - which is quite high and off the charts.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your comment, Ian. You raise a valid point. Both are tragic events and both are worthy of blog posts. I have not blogged about the recent weather disasters in my home country either. The only reason this one came up for me is that I had a recent experience in the Philippines and I was in the process of working with COP this past week -- so the connection is more real than a country I have not yet had the opportunity to visit. The tragic loss of home and life is great in both countries (or even here in the United States, for that matter). Religion had nothing to do with the post, other than as expressed as an opportunity to serve. All of the people affected are precious in God's eyes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I find it somewhat ironic that a typhoon in the Philippines which kills a few hundred people would warrant a comment while the much more devistating typhoon that struck Burmah on May 2nd, which killed over 22,000 people and has left 2.4 million people homeless doesn't even get a mention. I hope this has nothing to do with the fact that about 85% of the Philippines is Christian and 89% of the Burmese population is Buddhist.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wow, Tom. You are certainly passionate in your opinion. I find it interesting how many people find themselves at different ends of the spectrum when it comes to Lotus Notes. My experiences have been quite different from yours and, in fact, I like the database model as it provides great flexibility and ease of management, not to mention seamless integration with all other aspects of workflow. Obviously I do not share your opinion. - Eric.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I would like to address a couple of mistruths here. One: Administrator's prefer domino and it takes more admins to support exchange than domino - THIS IS TOTALLY UNTRUE. Being an IT professional of 18 years and working in so many different environments, I can tell you that administrators and endusers find Outlook/exchange without peer. It is simply the best. And it requires the same amount of support as domino/notes. Two: Databases. Folks, we are talking about a MAIL CLIENT here. If you want to access databases, use another application or better yet, connect via web browser. There are two different fuctions here. One is two manage communications effectively and the other is to have an efficient way to access and use data. Also, notes connections to databases has absolutely NO FEEDBACK for the enduser. Instead of presenting information to the end user, the end user must know the exact information they are looking for and where to find it. This is absurd. A database or datawarehouse should present data and information TO the end user. Fuzzy logic is the best. THE BOTTOM LINE: NOTES AND DOMINO ARE THE BIGGEST PILES OF STEAMING CRAP EVER MADE.]]></description>
