Here’s another recommended wine - Cycles Gladiator Chardonnay 2005. We enjoyed this wine tonight alongside tuscan grilled chicken and fried rice. We’ve had this wine before, at a family gathering last September, and were initially attracted to the wine by the interesting label of course (click on the link above for an explanation). […]
First you need and IntelliGantt solution!
We’ve just put the finishing touches on two new features. I’ll profile our new ‘Local Workgroup’ in a couple days. Today I want to show you how easy it is to identify overallocated resources in one project AND across many projects.
Here’s a pretty picture of several projects with their overbooked tasks highlighted.
Better yet, here is a screencast.
What it shows is a simple filter that can be applied to a project, or any group of projects. IntelliGantt has two filters that can work in conjunction. One filter is for things task related like ‘ToDo’ or ‘This week’s tasks’. To this filter we have added ‘Show Overbooked Tasks’. The algorithm takes all resources and all tasks in the working set and computes which resources have been overallocated. These tasks are then listed in the task grid and gantt chart.
The other nice thing about how this feature is implemented is the highlights don’t go away when you select another filter. For example, if you wanted to see the overbooked tasks in relation to all tasks, select the ‘Show all tasks’ filter. The overbooked tasks will retain their markings and will be easy to spot– even with all the other tasks in view. Overbooked tasks can run, but they can’t hide 
Finally, we upgraded the resources filter so that instead of only one resource to filter against, you can have many. This means you can see two or three people’s overbooked tasks at once. Or, for that matter, two or three people’s ToDo lists, or their tasks next week.
Check out the screencast, and if you’re impressed, download IntelliGantt Plus for a 15-day free trial. There’s lots more to impress you.
Microsoft’s Developer Maze
Closed Published April 30th, 2007 on Digital Backcountry - Ryan Stewart's Flash Platform BlogScott over at Lazycoder has something that Microsoft should think about
What I’m really looking for is a chart showing me which technology I should choose when developing my next web application. ASP.NET + AJAX? Silverlight? WPF? Microsoft is falling farther into a technology maze.
This is something that came up in our blogger lunch today with […]
My wife and I have recently been on a spanish wine kick and I wanted to share a recommendation for a Tresantos Roble 2001. We picked this bottle up at the local market and found the Spanish tempranillo to be dry and dirt in the middle of summer with a dark red to brownish […]
ApolloHunter - A Place to Share Apollo Applications
Closed Published April 29th, 2007 on Digital Backcountry - Ryan Stewart's Flash Platform Blog I came across ApolloHunter while reading feeds today. I can’t tell how many people know about this, but it’s got most of the major Apollo applicaitons all in one place so you can view, viote and download them. Seems like this could become a nifty community for sharing Apollo apps down the road.

I just got back from the Economics of Social Media conference put on by Rafat Ali, Staci Kramer, and the rest of the PaidContent crew and it was really an excellent event. One-day conferences are great because there’s no filler. There’s no scrambling to populate 50 panels with people who may or may not be the best choices to speak. There’s also no deciding which of 6 rooms you want to be in every hour.
One track. One room. All superstars. (Needless to say, I wasn’t a speaker.)
For Rafat’s first conference, they really knocked it out of the park. Not every panel was an A+ but there were no duds and they clearly had the right people on stage in most cases.
The only awful thing about EconSM though — as is the case with most conferences — was the design of the conference badges… - Read Full Entry…
