The blog giveaway of access to the closed beta trial of The Plan Is is now over, but you can still get your hands on a licence through the medium of Twitter.  Tweet me @pm4girls including the phrase ‘The Plan Is’ and I’ll enter you in the draw.  Before the end of this week, please, [...]

Richard Revis is the brains behind The Plan Is, scheduling software that has been designed with fixed date projects in mind.  It is still in beta testing, and the final touches are being put to the software based on customer feedback.  There are still some bugs and quirks to iron out – you can read [...]

There are some project dates that you just can’t move.  For example, my first attempt at knitting baby clothes for a friend’s newborn.  I couldn’t say to her to hang on a bit because the jumper wasn’t ready.  It had to be wrapped and ready to go the moment I got the text to announce [...]

I get contacted often by people asking me to review their software, and I am really bad at getting round to it.  A book sits on my desk until I have reviewed it – a constant reminder that I have reading to do, but software… it’s just an email with a link buried in my [...]

Last month I looked at the new features in Genius Project.  I wanted to find out more about how the software works with Microsoft Project, so I spoke to Christophe Borlat, General Manager of Genius Inside.
There are lots of project management tools out there today doing interesting things, what makes Genius Project different?

The phone connection cuts out and I’m left listening to nothing.  Over in Canada Christophe Borlat, General Manager of Genius Inside, is also holding a dead phone.  No matter.  We’re on a web conference, so he types on his screen and I can read the new plan:  forgot phone lines, let’s talk on Skype.  A [...]

Last week I reviewed Projecturf.  It’s a relative newcomer to the project management tool-place, so I decided to talk to Chuck Pearson, CEO of Projecturf.  He’s a man with big plans, and he’s no fan of Basecamp or Microsoft Project…
Projecturf was first launched in March of 2008, but was in beta for a year prior [...]

Today I’ve been oven drying some of my huge haul of cherry tomatoes, so that I can store them in olive oil and keep them a bit longer.  Honestly, I am fed up with fresh tomato salads, and there are still lots to pick, if they ever turn red.  Otherwise I will be getting out [...]

Why is registering for anything so complicated?  The ‘State’ field is not marked as compulsory when signing up for an account with Severa.  Except my registration would not be accepted without one.  So it is compulsory, then.  Having said that there is no validation, as I just typed ‘State’ and I was in.
The sign up [...]

With all the modern technology available to these companies you would have thought they would have come up with a way to show me software without making me call the US for 46 minutes.  I wouldn’t have minded so much if it wasn’t for the fact I could have got a good overview of the [...]
