The Problem, the Balloon, and the Four Bedroom House: A List Apart
Nice article at A List Apart on project management and the necessity of understanding of the problem that needs to be solved at the beginning, rather than the end, of a project.
The Problem, the Balloon, and the Four Bedroom House: A List Apart
Many project managers believe a project has a beginning and an end. Everything that happens within those parameters can be dealt with by a methodology and a good framework of processes. What they forget is the emotional core of a project and the questions that need to be asked: Why does this project exist? What benefits will it have? What features will express these benefits? How will it make users more efficient, effective, and happy?

The next step we’re going to take with the new Arts For the Soul website is to begin a search engine optimization and promotion campaign. So, to kick it off, you might want to visit this arts retreat in Steamboat Springs, Colorado if you crave soul-nourishing inspiration.
Quoting from the website,
Are you looking for a place of inspiration? Then be part of a community of 36 enthusiastic people who aspire to write, paint or play chamber music at a spectacular week long retreat in the charming mountain town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado—in the majestic Rockies.
In addition to the SEO work, we’re going to begin a keyword-based advertising campaign for the site using Google and Overture. This has worked very well for Kristin Joy Pratt Serafini, children’s book author and illustrator (incidentally, who is also scheduled to be one of the instructors at the retreat.

Serafini Studios is now hosting QuickSFV project
Serafini Studios is proud to be hosting the website for the QuickSFV project, written by a friend who has built an excellent application that does one thing and does it well – check the validity of downloaded files. Most of all, QuickSFV is quick! We didn’t design the site, but we may be helping the author work on it in the future.
QuickSFV was designed with one goal … to be quick! Existing SFV file verification programs were slow and cumbersome to use. Most users need to verify files and the quicker, the better. QuickSFV integrates into the Windows Explorer shell and makes it very easy to verify files. Just double-click on the .SFV file and QuickSFV does the rest. QuickSFV also understands several other file verification formats including .CRC, .CSV and .CKZ.
Give it a try if you need to verify downloaded files. And if you like it, consider donating, since the author has spent many hours making this an exceedingly useful little application. 🙂
HIPAAClicks.com Rollout
We’re rolling out HIPAAClicks.com with a soft launch, gradually adding more features. HIPPAClicks is a custom designed and coded HIPAA information portal that updates automatically 24 hours a day to display the latest news about HIPAA in one location. The site includes Google Adsense advertising and is designed to appeal to a highly-targeted audience interested in HIPAA compliance issues. In addition, it is built with a minimal number of graphics, intending to load as quickly as possible.
Technical Details:
The site is coded in PHP and includes the following:
- Extensive use of PEAR XML_RSS package
- Blogrolling.com is used to manage external site links
- Google Adsense targeted text advertising to generate revenue
- Links to the Amazon.com search results for HIPAA-related books
We’re planning on adding:
- Suggest a link form

Securanix website redesign launched
The new website for Securanix Network Security Specialists is now live. It includes an updated look and feel, more accessible navigation and quicker loading times. In addition, links are now included on every page to translate into another language. The site validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
For this project we’re also using the PEAR XML_RSS module to display the CERT Incident Notes and Advisories on the homepage. This will automate the process of displaying security headlines on the site.
Part of the goal of the redesign was to improve the professional image of Securanix, and we feel that we succeeded in this area as well.
