Apologies if this has been covered frequently, but I was wondering about how other people approach personal task management. I've read (parts of) GTD, proceeded to get excited, installed a tonne of plug-ins all over the place, then let it all fall by the wayside. I've used todoist, outlook, google calendar, project. I've tried writing ...
I have a program that I'm porting from one language to another. I'm doing this with a translation program that I'm developing myself. The relevant result of this is that I expect that there are a number of bugs in my system that I am going to need to find and fix. Each bug is likely to manifest in many places and fixing it will fix the b...
I am looking to use quartz to schedule emails, but I'm not sure which approach to take: Create a new job and trigger whenever an email is scheduled OR Create a single job, and create a new trigger each time an email is scheduled I need to pass the message/recipient etc either way, and I'm not sure whether creating heaps of jobs will ...
Hi, Is there any clever method out there to make my executeEveryDayMethod() execute once a day, without having to involve the Windows TaskScheduler? Regards /Anders ...
Joel often talks about using MS Excel for lightweight project management, but I'm curious about actual implementations of this idea. I've seen some templates that seem to clone MS Project via macros, which would be overkill for a lightweight project. Anyone have any useful templates? ...
Just wondering if any of you guys know of any web-based/browser-based employee scheduling software/tools? Currently doing it all in Excel, but it just isnt intelligent enough... any product suggestions? Needs to handle multiple employees time over weeks and months... to schedule in work short-term and long-term, allow me to see possib...
Observing one year of estimations during a project I found out some strange things that make me wonder if evidence based scheduling would work right here? individual programmers seem to have favorite numbers (e.g. 2,4,8,16,30 hours) the big tasks seem to be underestimated by a fix value (about 2) but the standard deviation is low here...
Martin Fowler defines an elegant object model for the scheduling of recurring tasks here, which maps to OO code very nicely. Mapping this to a relational database schema for persistence, however, is tricky. Can anyone suggest a schema + SQL combination that encapsulates all the functionality he describes, particularly in the image on p...
It took me some time, but I've finally managed to write down all the tasks that need to go into Version 1.0 of the software product I'm working on. The list is almost 1000 items long. We are a 3-person team, and we've somehow managed to get this far using MindMeister, Google Docs, @todos in the code etc. Now, I have everything neatl...
Is there a full featured, job scheduling package available for PHP? I'm looking for the PHP equivalent to Java's Quartz. I'm fine having things triggered externally from cron to drive the system. The functionality I'd be looking for: Ability to register task (class/method) to be called at given intervals. Ability to specify whether a g...
I am looking for introductory and intermediate materials on scheduling algorithms (books, papers, you name it). I am also interested in reference implementations and libraries, any language will do. The goal is to evenly distribute set of recurring activities over time span. Also a number of constraints must be satisfied: resource avail...
hi, We are developing a web application using java,Struts2.0,Apache web server and a Postgres Database. I need a requirement to run a scheduler dynamically(Morning and Evening) so that i can insert updated data in to the database and generate the report on daily and monthly basis. please reply me soon as this is immediate requirement....
Ok, what I'm trying to do is build a web app that allows students to visually organize their class calendar using drag and drop. but They have to be able to drag and drop to specific locations (when those classes are available), not just anywhere. This would be a 'fixed week' calendar. I was considering using a table, but was wondering ...
Note - I have not delved very deeply into Apple's iPhone SDK yet. However, based on another question asked recently, I'm wondering if, since the iPhone is running some stripped-down edition of Mac OS X if it doesn't have a crontab feature. If so, how would you access it? Thanks. ...
Has anybody had any experience configuring the Spring Framework to use Quartz' persistent jobs feature ? ...
I am developing web site using c# .net, in which I want to send the mails but at a specific time. Plz provide the complete source code. ...
Scheduling is so difficult. Don't you agree? Which are your best tricks to achieve your scheduling target? ...
Do programmers like to create deadlines? Im a web developer, and schedules/deadlines are all over the place in my field. But I've worked with some software engineers/programmers who hate deadlines, is there a way around that? ...
I'm currently in the process of implementing a number of different assignment algorithms for a SalesLead <--> SalesPerson situation. The general idea is quite simple: A SalesLead signs up on a public website The code automatically assigns the SalesLead to a SalesPerson using round-robin scheduling (Leads are assigned to SalesPersons in...
I'm working on (yet another) to do list program, and part of the problem I want to solve is capturing task dependencies and relative importance. I'm interested in recommendations for libraries / component that help with: Graph processing (including PageRank-like algorithms) Task / project scheduling - edit: note I don't mean OS proc...
