Where is MOOS coming from?

Maybe some of you where wondering where from is the name MOOS coming. Vláďa Janeček mentioned this on one of his posts. In English It sounds like this:

MOOS

Under this strange name it is hiding a practical application that can display the contents of files created in Microsoft Project. If you need a Mac application to browse the files MOOS may be the right choice.

Mac OS X 10.4 or later / Free

Well MOOS is just MS (from MS Project) with glasses. Just like that: MS

Tips for Dealing With Difficult People

Tiberiu Ghioca — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:42:23 +0000

These are a few tips offered by Linda Henman, PhD. that apply very well for project managers too:

1. Give yourself a cooling off period. Don’t approach a difficult person when you’re angry.
2. Don’t take the “hook” when people try to bring you into a conversation that you don’t want to have or aren’t ready to address. Simply say, “This isn’t a good time to talk about that.” Or, “We’ve gone over that before. You know my stand.”
3. Put your ego aside. Listen first. Often people just want to know someone has considered their point of view. You lose nothing but a few minutes by listening to what someone has to say.
4. “Own” your language. Instead of saying “You really screwed this up.” Try, “I see some ways to improve this.”
5. Immediately work to find common ground. What can you agree about? Once you articulate that, you will better be able to address the areas of contention.
6. Define how you’d both be better served by reaching agreement.
7. Keep the conversation on track. Don’t allow the other person to throw in the kitchen sink from left field. Simply say, “We’re getting into another area. Let’s get back to the original question.”
8. Deal with facts and observations, not inferences and judgments. Arguing about facts is difficult, however.
9. Don’t worry about “why” they behave the way they do. It really isn’t important. Instead, focus on how you can work with this person.
10. Whenever possible, avoid this kind of person.

MOOS Project Viewer: aprire file di Microsoft Project

Tiberiu Ghioca — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:20:53 +0000

Microsoft Project è il famoso software di pianificazione di Microsoft per aiutare i project manager, appunto, nella pianificazione, nell’assegnazione delle risorse, nella verifica del rispetto dei tempi, nella gestione dei budget e nell’analisi dei carichi di lavoro.

Fa parte della suite Office, ma non è presente nel pacchetto di default di Microsoft.

Se allora vi imbattete in un file MS Project (estensione .mpp) e volete aprirlo senza necessariamente avere installato Microsoft Project, eccovi un tool leggero leggero che ve lo consente senza problemi e senza conoscenze specifiche.

Si tratta di MOOS Project Viewer ed è disponibile, oltre che per Windows, anche per Macintosh e Linux. E’ un viewer a tutti gli effetti e, quindi, dimenticatevi di modificare il file con questo strumento.
