Crikey! I didn't quite realize what an unexpected blogging haitus I had been taking. Sorry for the long disappearance. I just finished up a long development project that got my gears working in all sorts of new ways.

Here's some of my picks for notable reads this week:

Ed Brill announces IBM's new hosting plans for Domino
A minimum of 1,000 users is required to start an IBM hosted plan, and from there the licensing and fees range from a variety of options (mail quotas, licensing schemes, etc.)

Bilal Jeffery lets us all know that we can try out Lotus Foundations for a 30-day trial from IBM. If your organization is between 5-500 users and you have limited IT staff, take it for a test drive and see what it has to offer.

Many of us noticed the new iGoogle homepage (and frankly, I hate it. Your thoughts? ).
If you want temporary custody of your old iGoogle page, for a quick fix, all you have to do is load your iGoogle page from www.google.co.uk, where they have not implemented the new version yet.

Kai Benjaminsen reports about the new IBM Toolbar for Firefox 3.0 in which you can get to IBM resources and search them directly. Thanks, Kai!

OK, I just realized that NONE of these links work! Sorry people, I'm not sure why. In the meantime, just copy and paste the text version. Hmmmm...
