Office space
No, not the movie — the concept. Joel on Software has an outstanding overview of how they just built their new office environment.
Thinking out how space is used is criminally ignored. I just had to spend a half hour this morning rearranging my desk because there’s no easy way to get a monitor on my […]
Trillian patch ‘E’ available
For Trillian “basic” (i.e., “free”) users, there’s a new patch available that lets you connect with the Yahoo IM servers. To check and see if you’re current, right click on Trillian in your system tray, go to help | about and see what patch you’re at. If you’re at anything other than “E”, click here […]
Setting up a “reviews” blog
This looks like a great tutorial to adding a “reviews” tutorial on your Movable Type-powered blog.
Found at ETC. who showed up in my referral logs (they liked my tutorial on using MT to manage your blogroll).
FBI Systems still years behind corporate America
Baseline Magazine was one of the publications we met with on our recent press tour. They’re an interesting, and as near as I can tell, unique publication in that they focus exclusively on case studies for content, and try extraordinarily hard to document large implementations, warts and all. It’s a refreshing change from the press […]
Taking the pledge
Chris over at Interesting Times has also become turned off at the waste of energy lately, and pledged to keep his eyes on the prize:
No more will I be: A tool of those who want to disrupt the Anybody-But-Bush movement. A partisan who would rather bring down the other guy’s candidate then find reason to elevate […]
Interesting blog enhancements
First, from Lilia Efimova — the Waypath plguin (for both Radio and Movable Type) that lets you show possibly related links from other blogs. It apparently identifies text strings in the current post and attempts to match them to others in the blogosphere. I haven’t played with it yet, but it strikes me as something […]
Jack O’Toole on Dean supporters
I’m not the only one calling on Dean supporters to focus their energy on supporting Dean instead of trashing others. Jack O’Toole writes today:
Lastly, the folks getting carried away in this fashion are putting their own candidate in a tight spot. Because the Dean campaign has paid its Internet supporters the high compliment of embracing […]
DestinationCRM: Vendors can make a difference
This isn’t specifically related to our 5.1 announcement today, but is a great mini-case study on how a customer of ours nearly went off the rails (read for details) but is today successful in their deployment (in part thanks to our efforts).
Nice.
InfoWorld: CRM vendors tout major upgrades
From Ephraim Schwartz’s column in InfoWorld today:
“CRM is getting a black eye. Gartner and Meta [Group] reports both cite data quality as the main reason,” said Rick Klau, vice president of vertical markets at Interface.
The key component of InterAction 5.1 is a data service that will identify anomalies in data, de-duplicate the data, and return […]
Kid’s book
There I was, reading Those Can-Do Pigs to my 3 year-old, when I came upon this odd rhyming pair:
In the grass down by the shore,
A Can-Do Pig distrubs a boa —
Now I don’t know where you’re from, but there are very few places where “shore” and “boa” rhyme. In fact, there are really only two […]
