Creating an Immersive Agile Training Space

I’ve been hinting about a new venture on Twitter, and it’s time to explain what’s going on.

I’m in the process of opening a new office. Or rather, my company, Quality Tree Software, Inc. is opening a new space in our current building in Pleasanton, CA.

Email Woes

I’ve been on the road and over-dosing on work lately, so this last holiday weekend I took a rare break from my email.  Three blissful days of connecting with humans (mostly family) in realspace.

Turns out, the spammers did not follow my lead.  They’ve been extremely active.  And once again, one or more of them used qualitytree.com . . . → Read More: Email Woes
