What platform did you run Domino on?

If Domino was solid, I'd imagine Domino on AS/400 was near unstoppable.


As a user, we used two Domino servers. One was Windows NT, the other was Linux. The Linux one was incredibly performant compared to the Windows one. I think it was an example of good reimplementation using hindsight.

In a past life I was a Domino admin and I ran it on an AS/400. It was great, handled incredible amounts of load, and required little maintenance. The only outage we had was when I accidentally deleted all the databases from the file system. Even that was pretty easy to recover from.

It was. I did some I.T. consulting in the Fortune 500 and a few ran Notes on the AS/400.

I had an AS/400 but unfortunately never got to run it on that. (it was a JD Edwards server for the ERP system)

Nope it was on good old winNT 4

I think we may have upgraded it to windows server 2000 at one point as well.

I remember that the disk partition it ran on ran out of disk space once.. it kept ticking along. just didnt let users make changes. Amazing stuff.


Love stories like this about bespoke systems that might still be running out there somewhere.

Is there a story behind the old guy in the logo?

It must be a nod to Freud (i.e. id, ego, and super ego)

Correct. Admittedly, graphic design is not even my passion, so there's probably lots of room for improvement. But at this point I've grown accustomed to the friendly face. :D

Many people seem to associate "ego" with negative connotation.

The name gives a weird vibe. But, it's free and it's your project so, whatever. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯


Yeah, I agree, though it wants to be slightly provocative as well: it's all about you, your data, your software, your rights.

Ah... Ok, that makes sense.

Just watched your demo here:

Pretty cool!


I like that you can generate new programs from within the system.

That's something I miss with Notion. I basically want a Notion but extensible and malleable like Emacs.


Yes! That's more or less the angle I'm going for. I mean, I don't aim just yet for Emacs-levels of malleability, but at least for something where you can create some useful day to day personal tools.

The book

"Why Isn't My Brain Working?"

by Datis Kharrazian

published in 2014 talked about this over a decade ago.



Thanks for this, nice concept. This would be good on a Tor onion service.



Very cool!

Just saw your post to the Common Lisp reddit.

Consider also posting to the larger Lisp reddit.


Video where I demonstrate how I explore JONESFORTH using GDB:

I enjoyed that! Nice intro to JonesForth and how it maps to assembly instructions.
