"Ok, so let me see if Ive got this straight."I was on the phone with my friend Bob. Ive known Bob for years. Hes a causality Navy guy who now does electrician work at Disneyworld. Hes seriously bright, tho doesnt know squat ab come forward computers. And he was trying, once again, to figure out what the heck I was doing with my life."Youre starting another Notes publication?"He stretched out the word "another" so it seemed that he was entirely incredulous of my actions."Well, yeah," I responded with some enthusiasm. " exactly this ones on both Notes and Domino.""I think I understand Notes. Its this kinda email, database, group-think function from IBM, right?" I hadnt heard it described exactly like that, but he was certainly in the ballpark. "But what the heck is Domino? Didnt Kim Basinger play Domino in never Say Never Again? Youre paternity about a Bond girl?"I shook my head. Of course, he couldnt see that through the pho ne. "Uh, no Bob. Were not doing a journal on James Bond, as serene as that might seem. Were doing a journal on Lotus Domino, a very cool server technology, and on Notes. They work together.""So youre not writing about Claudine Auger, who plays Domino Derval in Thunderball. And youre not writing about Kim Basinger, who pretty much remakes the character as Domino Petachi in Never Say Never Again," Bob was spouting Bond flick facts with a scary degree of finesse. "Youre just doing another techy journal on this Lotus Domino thing?""Yep.""But havent you done this before?"Bob was right. We had done this before. In fact, wed created no less than four Lotus journals, and a book. Back in 1993, I wrote a book called Lotus Notes 3 Revealed It was the second book ever on Notes and was quite popular. Based on the success of the book, we did our first journal, Workspace for Lotus Notes. Since we were new to the unharmed journal publishing business, we par tnered with The Cobb Group division of Ziff Davis. Ziff, as you probably know, is the largest independent publisher of computer magazines, and Cobb is their division that produces journals and newsletters.The other part of the "we" in this, by the way, is Managing editor and Vice President of Publishing, Denise Amrich. While Ive been responsible for the overall direction and technical vision of the publications (the editor-in-chief), Denise has been responsible for making it all happen.
