| There is something about running water especially in a brook running downhill. This is Scanlon Brook which runs into Still River in Sterling, Massachusetts and eventually falls into Thomas Basin which is the northern tip of the Wachusett Reservoir. The little brook runs strong in spring (when this was taken) and slowly dwindles to a mild trickle at end of summer. Although the volume of water changes with the season, it is always a source of peace and tranquility. | In This Issue |

Using Outlook Calendars in Operations Often times we provide software integrated with other applications. Accounting software comes to mind as one of the most often We can integrate our operational software with a shared Outlook calendar. It is a great way to collaborate on real-time events because everyone in your organization can open a shared calendar. So whether it is to view expected deliveries or review new orders, a calendar is a great visualization tool. Think about how you view events. Appointments, equipment requirements, chassis returns, detention warnings, fulfillment requirements, etc. Having the ability to view these events in a monthly, weekly or daily calendar can be extremely helpful.
But entering this information can be a deal breaker. It is often just too much work. That is where we come in. We integrate your operational software with Outlook. We automatically post an event into a shared calendar based on some criteria that meets your needs. Maybe you need to have more than one calendar, for different types of transactions or different directions. That is no problem. You can have as many shared calender's as you need and we can pass events to each as needed.
So next time you are reviewing your work, consider how it might look cleanly displayed on a calendar.

My Personal Website For a long time now, I have wanted to create my own personal website. Well, over the last few months, I finally made the time to
Some people keep a journal or a diary, some have a room where they keep the clay creations they made, some people have a room full of paintings, and others use the web to hold their private collection of whatever they created. That is where you will find the items I create, the photos and the digital sketches.
I have also done some playing around on zazzle.com. This is a site that allows you to create items for sale. Things that you can buy yourself or others can buy. I have created a US Postage Stamp with one of my pictures on it. I have created an iPhone case displaying one of my captured sunsets, a notecard with a black & white sunrise and even a clock with an amber silhouette.
I don't plan on becoming independently wealthy, but I do plan on growing my collection. As I say on my home page, I created it for me, but I hope you like it! If you have a mind to, please send me your feedback.

Synchronizing Computer Files I have been using Dropbox for personal and business applications for a couple of years and I would say I am a Dropbox
Even more astonishing, Dropbox manages versions. Lets say I edited our personnel manual and accidentally deleted a section. I can log onto Dropbox.com and review prior versions of the manual and restore an older version if necessary. Dropbox is free for up to 2gb, but the real benefit comes when you buy an annual subscription. 100gb is about $100. Go to dropbox.com.

integrated applications. This month, I wanted to mention that we write software that communicates with Microsoft Office and in particular, Microsoft Outlook. Outlook is one of Microsoft's better applications, especially when it is tied to Exchange Online as we have been promoting for some time.
