Spring break!

April 9, 2009

It’s Easter, so I’m taking a two-week break from blogging to catch up, spring clean, go to weddings and eat chocolate. A Girl’s Guide to Project Management will be back on 27 April with a review of Sharepoint for Project Management (thanks Alec for reminding me that I hadn’t got round to posting it yet) [...]

And over at…

April 3, 2009

I did my first Twitter interview with Kim Beasley on Friday: a very surreal experience.  It’s hard to condense your answers to 140 characters.  We chatted about project management and some strategies for new project managers and businesses to ensure they get the best out of their project initiatives. You can read an edited version [...]

Should I Twitter?

February 17, 2009

I’ve not taken the step to Twitter yet, but I’m thinking about doing it.  Is it seriously worth it?  Advice welcome from people who tweet already! In a bid to make it easier for you guys, I’ve added a Share This link to posts, so you can save, share, email and bookmark anything that takes [...]

Housekeeping

December 14, 2008

I have removed the ‘Register’ link from the sidebar.  I was getting far too many spam registrations and it was becoming difficult to deal with.  Registering doesn’t give you any benefits – you can still post comments without being a user.  You can also still sign up for email notifications of new posts, using the [...]

Yoghurt

December 10, 2008

It’s amazing that I can hold the latest status of a dozen projects in my head but I can’t remember if the yoghurt in the office fridge is mine. I brought a yoghurt in each day last week and I thought I ate them.  But two days ago I found one, hidden at the back [...]

Upgrade weekend

November 16, 2008

Another weekend, another upgrade…  I’m now running WordPress 2.6.3, for those of you interested in those little details.  Hopefully this will correct the password problem, so if any of you had difficulty resetting your password (like me, when I was in Denver), that bug has now been corrected. I also had a little play with [...]
