Re: KRnet> Gathering needs
Mark Langford, If you are looking for advice, on how to stick to one project at a time, to completion, don't ask me. I need the same seminar. -From: "Mark Langford" To: "Jeff Scott via KRnet" Cc: Sent: Monday July 15 2024 9:54:11PM Subject: Re: KRnet> Gathering needs .

Mark Langford ++ I'm certainly not a therapist but I would suggest that anyone with this type of concern include at least three words in any action plan they employ, " prioritize, focus, and limitations. " A. "Prioritize" the tasks (write them down for clarity) B. "Focus" on the task or tasks given priority C. Recognize your "limitations" in that you can only do one thing at a time Given enough time you may be able to accomplish them all. One of my "Observations on Life" is: "I’ve reached the point in my life where I understand why a Sage is usually an old person." Have a good day, keep on building, and see you at the Gathering...

Re: KRnet> Gathering needs
Thanks for your wisdom, Larry. A lot of us were hoping for some expert advice, from someone with experience, and you seem to have it all together.

KRnet> Gathering motel
For anyone attending the Gathering and staying at a motel, which motel did you pick. I live 50 miles from Mt.Vernon but will stay 3 nights in town for convenience and timing. Anyone flying in and not camping at the airport, I could be your ride to and from the airport. Advise me by the weekend. Other attendees might like to know also. Thanks.

Re: KRnet> Gathering needs
Maybe you just enjoy the round robin approach to projects? If not, a little software might help. Gantt Project is a free open source app that runs on Linux, Windows and Mac and is lean and simple to use while including gantt charts with critical path and PERT diagramming. It has been around for over 20 years and the last update was a few months ago. The only negative is the Java UI. Not the prettiest. https://www.ganttproject.biz/ On Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 6:54 PM Mark Langford wrote: > Jeff Scott wrote: > > >> I'm sure that if there is interest, Mark and I could likely stand up > front and do an engine Q&A as we have done a few times in the past.

Another free open source option is Projectlibre. It also includes critical path features. https://www.projectlibre.com/ On Tue, Jul 16, 2024 at 5:04 PM Steve Loebs wrote: > Maybe you just enjoy the round robin approach to projects?

KRnet> Speaking of Gatherings
Anyone wishing to host the 2025 Gathering at a location near you, or any location for which you will serve as host, it would serve you well to make the invitation now, on the net, giving the sales pitch so future attendees can consider the invitation before voting for the 2025 Gathering location at the 2024 Gathering banquet. Make us an offer we can't refuse. Larry Flesner -- KRnet mailing list KRnet@list.krnet.org https://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet

Re: KRnet> Speaking of Gatherings
Since it is mentioned... How about a West Coast gathering? 8W5 comes to mind since I live here. I can put up 6 folk on my boat at the marina... there are the marina heads and 2 bathrooms on the boat. Maybe a couple more in the hangar and a few in an RV on the grounds here. Hangar has a 3/4 bath. Just saying.. jg I know.. it's a long trip, but who doesn't want to at least once take on the rocky mountains?
