On Salesforce.com and Google
2008-04-17 02:14:00 Much has been written over the past two days on the Salesforce .com | Google partnership, and as the dust is settling down, it's time for me to share my first impressions as a user of this pretty cool mashup. Yesterday, Marc Benioff asked me if it made Salesforce.com Office 2.0 worthy, and my reply was a resounding "Yes". In pure Salesforce.com style, reality does not fully match the marketing hype surrounding the announcement, but this first release is real, works, and is the very best Office 2.0 integration I have seen in a long time. So let's take a closer look. [Continue...]

Free/Busy Calendar for Salesforce.com
2008-04-16 03:40:00 Scheduling meetings is a time-wasting collaborative process that no amount of technology will fix until simple APIs get supported by the most popular calendaring applications. One could use scheduling services such as the newly-released Presdo (awesome job Eric!), but it's not (yet) integrated with Salesforce .com. So if you're like me and are using Marc's platform to get things done, you might be interested by this little PHP script that a couple of friends wrote for me.

Salesforce.com on iPhone
2008-03-30 20:52:00 Salesforce.com recently demonstrated the iPhone application it will release on iTunes sometime in June. It looks great, but I really could not wait for it. Furthermore, I expect it to support only a subset of the objects I need, and certainly not the custom ones I have created to get things done. Therefore, my friend Ihab and I have been working on a proof of concept application built using an S-Control and running on the iPhone's Safari web browser (no hacks required).

Extreme Productivity Seminar Slides
2008-03-29 17:24:00 The first Extreme Productivity Seminar took place yesterday, and based on the feedback we received so far, the concept worked.

Process Discovery
2008-03-08 01:31:00 While I'm putting together the liquid cooling system for my new computer, I'd like to share with you some details about the digital asset management process I am planning to manage with it, using Intalio|BPMS as development platform. Doing what most business analysts do when documenting business processes for the first time, I fired my spreadsheet editor of choice (Google Docs in this particular instance), and started filling cells up with lots of information that only human beings can understand. We're at the process discovery stage here, and it really does not matter which tool you use for it. Nevertheless, using an online tool such as Google Docs will make it easier to share your ideas and requirements with others, and to track changes over time. So let's take a look at what we've got.

Email Tips
2008-03-07 00:02:00 Like everybody else, I have a love and hate relationship with email, and I have felt more hate than love for SMTP recently. Too many emails to keep track off, and too much spam not being filtered by my email client are contributing to spoil our already strained relationship. Nevertheless, a couple of things can be done to salvage it, especially when using Gmail. Here they are. [Continue...] More About: Email , Tips

Pushing the Envelope
2008-03-06 02:15:00 If you're a test pilot, pushing the envelope is what you do to discover an aircraft's performance limits. I'm just a private pilot, therefore I try to stay away from the boundaries of my aircraft's envelope as much as possible. But there are other envelopes I can play with, and Office 2.0 is one of them. Over the past two years, I have conducted many experiments, attempting to do everything online. I followed the Rules for Office 2.0 religiously, and eventually made it work. Today, using an iPhone and a MacBook Air equipped with a Franklin CDU-680 3G modem, I can get online pretty much anytime and anywhere. I built an Office 2.0 Setup around Gmail and Salesforce.com, and I must say that it's working pretty well. So, what's next? Well, all this works when you're managing megabytes of structured data and gigabytes of documents. But what about hundreds of gigabytes of structured data and tens of terabytes of documents? Can you make the overall workflow scale by three or four ord... More About: Envelope

Extreme Productivity Seminar
2008-01-14 07:28:00 Between Intalio, the Office 2.0 Conference, my flight training as a commercial pilot, and my duties as father of an 11 months old baby girl, I tend to be fairly busy, and many people I meet wonder how I manage to fit all this into regular 24 hour days. In theory, the answer is pretty simple: apply David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology religiously, and use the best tools money can buy. In practice though, it takes a lot of personal discipline, and building a working system took many trials and errors. Today, this Extreme Productivity System is working pretty well, and I have decided to share it with anyone interested. [Continue...] More About: Seminar

Industrial Design
More articles from this author:2007-10-10 12:03:00 I just received my first Apple Wireless Keyboard, and once again I am amazed at Apple's mastery of the art of industrial design. This little piece of anodized aluminum is a thing of beauty, from the clean one-piece design (extruded profile), to the machined stainless steel cap for the battery compartment, and to the microscopic laser-drilled holes that make a green LED appear out of nowhere when the device is turned on. Absolutely, positively amazing. [Continue...] More About: Design , Industrial , Industrial Design 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
