Well, now I believe Chris will be jealous of me instead.

We called it the Rubber Duck method of debugging. It goes like this:

1) Beg, borrow, steal, buy, fabricate or otherwise obtain a rubber duck (bathtub variety)
2) Place rubber duck on desk and inform it you are just going to go over some code with it, if that's all right.
3) Explain to the duck what you code is supposed to do, and then go into detail and explain things line by line
4) At some point you will tell the duck what you are doing next and then realise that that is not in fact what you are actually doing. The duck will sit there serenely, happy in the knowledge that it has helped you on your way.

Works every time. Actually, if you don't have a rubber duck you could at a pinch ask a fellow programmer or engineer to sit in.

I did a simple test before and after installation of the product. I created a mail with a table, and sent it to my GMail account, which is set to forward all mail to my Notes mail. My environment is Lotus Domino 8.5, with Lotus Notes 8.5.

So what happened last year?
The biggest thing for me was that I quit smoking. More important than that, though, is that I'm still not smoking! I don't even have a need for nicotine any longer. I was doing the nicotine chewing gums, but just lost my craving for nicotine a couple of months ago. I still feel that it would be nice to have a smoke from time to time, but it's very easily controllable. I'm still motivated, and having come this far, I definitely don't want to give up now. Today is non-smoking day 168.

There was a lot more that happened last year, but that's history now. Let's keep the focus on what we're going to do in 2009.
