also, its not fun to use. i do have one suggestion for the trello team: please make the mobile app faster. the UI, in terms of moving cards to different lists is really hard to use and lags a lot. i suggest finding a better solution for that feature, instead of trying to replicate the desktop experience. i rarely use the mobile app for this reason.
Well yeah, but if you've got an iPhone, chances are you have a cell connection. If he can't access the internet, even over the cell network, I'd be curious to know what kind of environment he's working in.
You nailed it brother. I'm not a government employee, but for the time being, I'm forced to work in their facility. I do have my own Macbook here which I use for all my scripting/data analysis/etc, but I have to leave the building to get to WiFi. It is infuriating that these idiots have been fooled into thinking that they are more secure by using IE8 over.... anything else.
"The government" doesn't mean that. My wife works for the DOI and their entire bureau uses Chrome and their government email and other services are managed through Google Apps, her cubical contains a typical locked-down Windows PC and a Red Hat workstation, the workstation runs Chrome and FF which are only as behind the curve as far as the stable releases are. I knew some guys who worked for NOAA as contractors who said they were pretty modernized as an agency too (running modern web servers on Python, vs the gigantic legacy J2EE apps I maintained during my stint as a government contractor).
The agencies you mentioned are less than a hundredth the size of the agencies in the US Gov which are using IE8. The smaller agencies have the luck of getting to be forward thinking. The rest are crushed down by bureaucratic inertia and Microsoft development cultures (with some of the J2EE thrown in too). The IE8 stuff is mainly because they have built so many shitty .NET apps that won't work properly without IE.
Fair enough, there are plenty of organizations both inside and outside the government that have sane technology standards that contradict my cheap generalizations.
That still doesn't mean it was sent to Nigeria. It just confirms that, for whatever reason, the author assumed the recipient was in Nigeria. The recipient may have very well been in Nigeria but he offers no definitive evidence.
I'd guess that their customer service would take a different, 21st century approach. I'd never call customer support for a gmail or google calendar issue...maybe a similar approach will emerge with these plans
Great response. For the "retired" who stayed on, what sort of impact did their newfound attitudes have on things? Did they play a part in any of the major new products or improvements that came later?
Generally the impact I've observed was folks getting more stuff done. I attributed that to them not worrying about pissing someone off if they stepped on their toes, but it may have been that they just had only one thing to focus on.
To be balanced I've also seen them leave, basically to put to the powers that be a set of facts or demands that need to be true, only to have those same powers tell them it wasn't going to happen. Then they left. I try to pay a lot of attention to those sorts of events because depending on whose reasoning I find more credible it can inform my own thoughts about staying or leaving.
