Most of my day job involves working with multiple people on multiple assignments at various stages of progress (or in deep $hit). This involves, setting deadlines, following up and in general trying to control lots of things across lots of people (including senior management, customers and partners).
I am sure everyone of you (in jobs like mine) have your favorite tool that you swear by to help you control the chaos. So, today, let me take a few minutes of your time to introduce mine. It’s called Trello. It’s awesome. And it makes my life that much easy. Period.
Now, unlike your favorite tool, mine has a rather illustrious background. Trello is made by Fog Creek Software. Does that ring a bell? Well, I can safely assume it does. Every old software person out there (by old, I mean you learnt to code in the earlier part of this century) who saw the internet evolve, has read this one wondrous blog – Joel on Software. And Fog Creek Software was founded by none other than Joel Spolsky himself.
I can’t really describe how useful it is in a blog. I would recommend you try it. It is vaguely based on the Kanban system of cards (inspired by Toyota?) and then it helps to collaborate and works across multiple devices and got tonnes of nifty little features. Best of all, it’s free. So yeah, that was me expressing my love for Trello.
Thank You Girish for Introducing me to Trello. I will surely use it at my work place. Keep up your creative head.

Glad you like it and I am happy that you take time to read my ramblings :) !!
DeleteI check your blog link 2-3 times in a day to know if you have put up a new blog. Your blog somehow raises my spirit in Dull office environment. Pretty often I read your old blogs, if there is no new blog. I completely second all those feelings that you blogged in your recent blog "Walk of shame". And oh my, I have travelled twice in the big one that you talked about "the A380". I was travelling on an Emirates flight from Dubai to Paris and back. It's such a wonder. I was so excited before my flight that I made a point to watch again some of those documentaries on A380 on Youtube. It's so huge!!! The Cam view particularly from Vertical tail Wing is awesome!!!

:) I am sure A380 must have been an awesome experience. I wonder when I will get a chance. I should go check out the Youtube videos to entertain me as well. Thanks for reading Sandeep!
