I keep looking at the calendar and realizing that I only have about six weeks until the UK Admin/Developer conference.  I am presenting on two topics, but the first

Monday Oct 27  1:30 - 2:45 pm Rich Text Tips, Tricks and Techniques

is a relative no-brainer.  I gave a session like this in Düsseldorf in February, and although I can never stand giving the same session twice and will probably change everything, I am sure of what I want to say.  The second session has me more worried.

Monday Oct 27  4:35 - 5:50 pm Advanced Notes/Web Coexistence

Abstract: Discover useful tricks and techniques for handling forms, views and databases that must be used in both the Notes client and a web browser. Learn ways to better handle rich text fields, @DbLookups, JavaScript and UI methods to allow an optimal experience for both Notes users and web users. Learn when to create two sets of design elements and when to use just one. Covers native and third party solutions for managing Notes/Web coexistence. 

What was I thinking?  Do I know enough about this topic?  Can I present it clearly enough?  I might not be so worried, but there is such an incredible set of speakers for this event (including Bill Hume and Ed Brill from IBM, as well as Bob Balaban, Rocky Oliver, Damien Katz, Daniel Nashed, George Chiesa, Rich Schwartz, Kim Greene, Andrew Pollack, Gabriella Davis,  Brian Benz, Dieter Stalder and more) that I feel I need to live up to the event.

I do have a message I want to communicate, and some ideas for samples to show, but I would love to hear any thoughts, wishes, ideas from anyone out there.  Whether you will be there in person or would simply like to use the sample code I am sure to post here afterwards, let me know what would be valuable to you.  Post here or contact me at  with ideas.

By the way, I hope you can come to the conference.  I think it will be more valuable than some of the bigger conferences, and with a lot more access to the speakers.  If you are in the UK or Europe, this is a lot easier to get to than a conference in the US.  If you are in the US, check out the low fares and come make a long weekend out of it.  If you are in Asia or Australia, I haven't the foggiest idea of whether this is really an option, but I'd be happy to see any of you as well.
