Wouldn’t it be great if there was a cheap (perhaps free) stripped down version of Microsoft Project? Today we took on the third big client in a row who is using Excel to project manage their project. Insane right? Here’s how they do it. Tasks go down the first column. The other columns represent dates. They size the date columns about 10 wide and colour...
Nice one Kevin! the comments to get the full story – wOOdy is particularly useful
OzFox is happening again next February. The dates are 25-27 February 2007. Details are starting to appear on the site… www.ozfox.com.au By early October we’ll have most of the details confirmed (eg a final price!). Registration will open in mid-October. Australia and New Zealand, put these dates in your diary – it’s gonna be huge!
TECHED: TechEd clarifications – the need for clear directionI’ve had very little feedback on my TechEd Disappointment post (even though surprisingly it has become my second most hit post of the last 6 months). Of the feedback I have received there has been two main points:1. The post was far too long and wordy – yep, can’t deny this (in fact...
O07: Office 2007 Technical Refresh thoughtsI was going to attempt to work in some witty James Bond references (eg Office 07 = O07 – License to Thrill, Live and Let (Toolbars) Die, The World is (Still) Not Enough, A View to a (conditional formatting) Fill, etc, etc) but soon realised none of them were remotely funny…So, let’s give the new Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh a one...
I’m sure everyone who reads this blog already reads Andrew MacNeill’s (and if not, then why not?). So, the reason I’m linking to his BINDEVENT post is mainly so that I remember to use it soon. I’m ashamed to admit I still use some ancient code in my projects (not that I write much code these days…) that replaces grid header code with a custom class… it’s...
Is anyone else wondering where the Visual FoxPro September newsletter is? I’m hanging out for Milind’s report on Advisor Devcon (Rick’s here was great reading) and other news about the Sedna project…
Great to read Doug’s feedback on Prague. See also Dave Crozier’s report – great reading.
Rick sheds some light on how to prepare properly for presenting at conferences. Excellent advice and mandatory reading for any conference presenter. As a very experienced audience member {g} I deeply applaud his first suggestion on being well prepared. probably picked up my lack of excitement about under prepared speakers in previous posts. But it comes down to this: I don’t care if you are...
Yes, another(!) beta. Download it here. I know we promised to release this ages ago, but we’ve been slack… This release fixes a few minor items (eg the flickering between tab changes) and brings consistency between tab icon and tab label behaviour.A big, big thank you to Tracy P who has done most of the work for these fixes. If you’ve been following the...
