  1. @bpimichael task management is secondary, contact management is primary. Highrise would be ideal if not for a couple of minor nuisances.
  2. @flowchainsensei depends on what is the aim/point of writing them.
  3. @tim_ogrady Thanks for the tip. Will have a closer look at Capsule then.
  4. @TheAdmnHub Budget for 4 people? Less than $40 / month. And it has to be web based so that no one has to be a server/app admin.
  5. @tim_ogrady Thanks! Is it better than Highrise?
  6. Can anyone recommend a web-based tool to synchronize tasks for a team of 4, preferably linked to a CRM (tasks are mostly client-related)?
  7. I think I'll start workshops for managers titled: "Meet the reality" or "From slave pusher to leader".
  8. "The agile way is to do something rather than everything – but do it well and keep on doing it each and every sprint" goo.gl/Xm2wy
  9. Being corporate is a state of mind, not just a question of size.
  10. Those who have still think "dispersed teams" are a good idea would be excited about this device: goo.gl/CMm0D
  11. FBI wants wiretap-ready sites. I have a better idea - let's outlaw privacy completely, now! goo.gl/K37z9
  12. "Official answer", "Official methodology", "Official process specification", "Standard workflow" = official excuse not to think on your own.
  13. Speaking of standards: would you really like to live in a world where everything would be standardized? Food, languages, culture etc.?
  14. Just learned that on the German seaside you have to pay tax just for being there - goo.gl/VHz87. Interesting.
  15. @jurgenappelo Don't wonder, read history. Most of known history humanity managed it somehow without spreadsheets. :)
  16. Good essay on where general purpose computing is headed (and part of the reason why I don't buy Apple anymore): goo.gl/54wH5
  17. Studying accounting - and I find it surprisingly relevant and useful. Probably one needs to run a business to fully appreciate it.
