Serena Makes Good on Promise: Dumps Microsoft Exchange for Googl

Serena Software, a maker of application lifecycle management software and cloud computing solutions, has completed its migration from Microsoft Exchange to Google's Gmail, and it took only 3 hours of dedicated work from two Serena IT workers to take one of Serena’s own internal applications to the cloud, the company said. eWEEK originally reported that Serena planned to dump Exchange for Google's Gmail e-mail system in November of 2008. A Serena spokesman said the company initially had planned to migrate everyone over by the end of 2008, "however, we were waiting for Gmail's offline access," he said. "Once that was released, we accelerated our plans to migrate everyone and did it as early as possible."

Procrastination: Beat procrastination with the 10 minute rule

http://lifehacker.com/178118/beat-procrastination-with-the-10-minute-rule An article in Psychology Today says procrastination creates stress, anxiety and depression. But how do you stop putting off that dreaded task? Just do it - for at least 10 minutes. Acknowledge, "I don't feel like doing that," but do it for 10 minutes anyway. That gets you over the hard work of initiation. After being involved in the activity for 10 minutes, then decide whether to continue.
As I have mentioned in a previous blog post , the purpose of this other entry is to actually cover some additional commentary related to the feedback input that the various readers from the NYTimes article " I Freed Myself From E-Mail’s Grip " have been leaving all along since I got it published a couple of weeks back. You may have noticed how I have already shared a couple of comments there myself, which you can find here and over here , but I thought I would expand on a couple of thoughts that seem to keep coming back over and over again. So without much further ado, let’s go ahead and cover them: - e-mail vs. social networking interactions – where is the balance? I know I have been getting plenty of comments in this respect and, while giving presentations at conference events or workshops, it seems to be one of the recurring themes as well over here.

http://www.economist.com/node/10950378?story_id=10950378&subjectID=348963&fsrc=nwl THREE years ago Pip Coburn left his job as an analyst at UBS , a global bank, in order to start his own investment consultancy, Coburn Ventures. At his first staff meeting, in a Manhattan café, he and his five colleagues drew up their to-do list. The most urgent item, everybody agreed, was to get BlackBerries. Then they needed to start contacting clients. And at some point they should probably find some office space, ideally in the chic area around New York's Union Square.

Google Calendar Sync for Microsoft Outlook

One of the most popular requests for Google Calendar was synchronization with mobile devices and Outlook. After launching a sync tool for Blackberries , Google Calendar now offers a small utility for synchronizing events with Outlook . By default the synchronization is bi-directional, but you can change this when you install the utility or from the options dialog . http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/03/google-calendar-sync-for-microsoft.html

Nokia 6682 for access to contacts/calendar on the go (or any mobile phone that has software to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, ie: all of them) It should be easy to extend these instructions to your specific situation.

How to Sync Google Calendar with Outlook and Smartphones Automat

My big complaint about Google Calendar was lack of support for easily syncing calendar data with my smartphone. I use Outlook for my personal information management because it's still the only thing that puts all my data in one place the way I want it. Google Calendar's iCal export made manual syncing with Outlook possible, but I want to get all my calendar data from my computer to my phone automatically. There have been several third party solutions that attempt to address this with varying levels of success.
