Trello

I was introduced to Trello by a coworker who uses it to prioritize their tasks - and as a manager, they get a lot of things to keep track of.  So, I thought I'd take a look into it to see if it was something I could use - and I like it!  Here are a few things I like most about it:

• Having multiple lists within a board - I like to keep tasks for different project listed separately so I can look at what's in the queue for each at a glance, and the horizontal layout of the screen makes this easy.
• Customization of the card coloring scheme - I could see many uses for this, but for me the best use is for prioritizing cards.  This way, when I add a new card, I can more easily keep track of what should be done next in the list.
• Easy to use interface - I like having the ability to click and drag cards all around to rearrange them, which is particularly important when re-prioritizing, or moving cards to different lists when a mistake is made or when simply re-organizing tasks

Trello is a great tool that I am beginning to use for all my projects listed in this blog.  It helps me keep track of all of them without losing ideas.  I think anyone with a need for organizing tasks at a project-level should look into this tool!

Twitter

I just opened my first Twitter account, @CSMathOxidizer!  I am completely new to Twitter, but hopefully it will be a place for me to share cool things about software development that I learn throughout the great World Wide Web!  Should be quite the adventure.

Welcome to my blog!  This blog is a place for me to document and share my experiences with new personal development projects.   I am really excited to get these projects started and see how they evolve.  In coming posts, I will explain each and the reasoning on why I have chosen to do them.  I know that it seems like a lot, especially with the vague ideas that I have, but the point is to learn and have fun in my spare time (what little I have!).  So I'm looking forward to sharing.

Additionally, I am beginning a sister blog for mathematics - because it has become a love of mine ever since I studied it in college.  You can find it here.
