Review: 5pm

June 2, 2010

5pm is web-based, on demand project management software.  It looks lovely and the user interface is intuitive.  It’s very easy to get going and the help feature is good if you get stuck (they have videos and a blog which covers new features and useful info like downtime).

Fixed Date Feb & ThePlanIs.com

February 3, 2010

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 [...]

Projec.to: it’s magic!

January 11, 2010

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 [...]
