Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

Monkey Programmer Boy:
But, Peter, how do we get to
Portal Land?

Peter Pan:
Fly, of course!

Monkey Programmer Boy:
Fly!

Peter Pan:
It's easy! All you have to so
is to . . . is to . . . is to-
Huh. That's funny!

Monkey Programmer Boy:
What's the matter?
Don't you know?

Peter Pan:
Oh sure, it's just that I
never thought about it before.
Say, that's it! You think of a
wonderful thought!

Monkey Programmer Boy:
Like Lotusscript?

John:
Sleigh bells?

Micheal:
Snow?

Peter Pan:
Yep! Watch me now-here I
go! It's easier then pie!

Monkey Programmer Boy:
He can fly!

John:
He can fly!

Micheal:
He flewed!

Peter Pan:
Now, you try.

Monkey Programmer Boy:
I'll think of LotusScript. Oh-underneath a magic moon.

John:
I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave.

Micheal:
I think I'll be an Indian brave.

Peter Pan:
Now, everybody try-one,
two, three!

All three children:
We can fly! We can fly!
We can fly!

Peter Pan:
This won't do-what's the
matter with you? All it takes
is faith and trust . . . oh! And
something I forgot-dust!

All three children:
Dust? Dust?

Peter Pan:
Yep! Just a little bit of pixie dust.
Now, think of the happiest
things. It's the same as having wings.

Monkey Programmer Boy:
Let's all try it, just once more.

John:
Look! We're rising off the floor!

Micheal:
Jiminey!

John:
Oh my!

All three children:
We can fly!

Peter Pan:
You can fly!

All three children:
We can fly!

Peter Pan:
Come on, everybody, here we
go! Off to Portal Land!

(sung)
Think of a
wonderful thought
Any merry little thought
Think of Christmas, think
of snow
Think of sleigh bells-off
you go!
Like reindeer in the sky
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!

Up you go with a heigh
and ho to the stars beyond
the blue
There's a Portal Land
waiting for you
Where all your happy
dreams come true
Every dream that you
dream will come true

When there's a smile in
your heart
There's no better time
to start
Think of all the joy
you'll find
When you leave the world
behind
And bid your cares
good-bye
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly! (etc.)
(repeat)

(spoken)
Peter Pan:
There it is, Monkey Programmer Boy,

Exile on Uke Street

For your listening pleasure, here is an excerpt from the new exciting album:

"Monkey Programmer boy and the Uke-a-Neestas"

Something (Loosely in the style of George Formby)

The Secret of Spuggy Holes

"It's just not fair!" said George. "I passed that Java Exam in 1997 and it's just beastly there is no upgrade, it means I have to do the horrid thing again". "Oh shush George, you sour puss" scolded Jack. "Come on everyone, let's make our beds in the heather and wash the supper things tomorrow."

So they spread the rugs out in the soft heather and lay down just as they were in their clothes - and in two seconds they were all fast asleep on the secret island, lost in happy dreams of all they were going to do the next day!

Importing Design Elements, it's the new black

Today I have been importing design elements via dxl. I exported some design elements from designer to separate dxl files and imported them with the function below. It appears quite good. Not really good tho, y'know like sexual intercourse or free beer.

Function importDesignFile(dbCopy As NotesDatabase, designFileName As String)

Dim session As New notesSession
Dim stream As NotesStream
Set stream = session.CreateStream
If Not stream.Open(designFileName) Then
Messagebox "Cannot open " & designFileName,, "Error"
Exit Function
End If
If stream.Bytes = 0 Then
Messagebox "File did not exist or was empty",, designFileName
Exit Function
End If


REM Import DXL into new database
Dim importer As NotesDXLImporter
Set importer = session.CreateDXLImporter(stream, dbCopy)
importer.ReplicaRequiredForReplaceOrUpdate = False
importer.DesignImportOption = DXLIMPORTOPTION_REPLACE_ELSE_CREATE
Call importer.Process

End Function

GMAIL

As a blogger user I got a Gmail account. Wow. Wonder what to do now?

I am not a number I am a free man!

Oh yeah? Who are you kiddin' monkey-boy? Back on Lotusscript Island with no means of a escape!

Lucille, don't chew brake your daddy's will

Back in Gotham City on m'folding bike Lucille. I was peddling round the back of Westminster and stumbled upon T.E Lawrence's house. I was so inspired I rushed back to the office to listen to my WWII movie themes on Music Match juke box. Colonel Bogey is very much the ideal music to have on whilst writing Lotus Notes Applications. When it finishes you can shout out "what have I done", just as Alec Guiness does in Bridge over the River Kwai.

Ready aim fire

As requested by Coatsie here is a picture of the back garden at Spuggy Acres. If you look carefully you can see Princess Anne trying to bury some acorns. Always a risk in rural Gloucestershire, but a bloody cheek none the less. Suffice to say, a couple of carefully aimed pot shots with my air rifle and she soon buggered off.

I am a cider drinker, I drinks it every day

So the big move to the country is complete. Foods a bit limited tho: Badger and chips, Badger Pie, Badger Themador, Badger l'oragne and Badger Kiev. Interesting headlines in the local paper about the uproar over local parking charges. Makes a change from west london where people are routinely awoken by crack crazed burglars. Ooooo arrrr.
