| Fishing by Inreco LAN |

| Before this, no one could suspect that Inreco LAN was practicing fishing. :-) However, the times are changing, and one day fishes appeared at Inreco LAN, too. :-) |

| Creating tasks in the Redmine by Receiving emails from POP3 server |
| July 24, 2010 | |
|
Redmine allows users to create issues based on received e-mail messages. Yes, it is really great when the user's complaint automatically gets into the Redmine as an issue - bug, ticket or something else. However, as it often happens (especially with open source projects) the way to enable this feature is a little bit tricky. So here I'm going to share my experience of turning on this feature in Redmine. |

| Facing Crisis. Facing About in Business Behavior |
| March 17, 2010 | |
|
What’s good in crisis, it helps us to get rid of unnecessary things, habits and rules. Let’s take an example of common life. For instance, I am used to visit a Starbucks once a day to sit there sipping a coffee and thinking about how to set the world to rights. Now imagine I’ve got a problem that requires all my attention. What about my everyday visits to Starbucks? |

| Facing Crisis 2. Rules of Promotion |
| February 17, 2010 | |
|
In the context of this narrative it makes sense to divide lifecycle of any company into two types: normal periods of time and crisis time periods, these time spaces changing one another more and more frequently during recent decades. |

One of the most popular subjects in the Web is still the world financial crisis. Quite understandable why: directly or indirectly it affects lives of billions of people. And, no doubt, we are among those billions. Saying “we” I now mean those involved in business, more precisely – into software development business and software development outsourcing. |

| Things to remember about installer development |
| November 25, 2009 | |
|
Developers have to choose what and how to present to users, when they are developing software product. The most usual form of the software distribution on Windows operation systems is installation (or setup) program. |

I’d like to talk about yet another obvious public trend, opposite to the main vogue in choosing SLCM for a software development project. |

Agile, Lean, Kanban and kindred software practices present different variations on the same theme: How to do software development more effective, i.e. how to provide customers’ happiness with more confidence. |

| Sudden stupid decisions with grave consequences |

Recently I happened to see a new Ice Age movie: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Well done, with nice and cute characters, but stuffed with absolutely stupid jokes. What a disappointment! |

| Software development business: Peculiarities in delivering results |
| July 10, 2009 | |
|
How software development differs from other types of business? At a first glance there should be no difference whether you sell custom developed software product or some made-to-order material product. Be you a tailor or a software developer, a customer just comes to pay you for a product he/she needs, be it a shirt or an application. |

| Software life cycle: More freedom than in human life |
| July 06, 2009 | |
|
Software development as one of the human activities is part of our life. Hence, it cannot be completely independent from society, from politics, from prevailing lifestyle. That said, it looks strange to me how common software development techniques show obvious tendencies absolutely opposite to the main trends of the society. |

| Software development business essentials |

I am in IT business for more than 20 years already, and since 1991 I am a CTO and one of the two co-owners of the Inreco LAN software development (SD) company. It's quite a time. One day this notion has transformed into a sudden idea: why not share my experience and my thoughts about how this business lives; what are the benefits; what are the difficulties; when and how issues tend to become problems, and so on, so on. It is interesting to discuss these ideas with people who would find my notes worth reading. |

| Product Quality as a Tool of Exerting Influence upon Customer |
| May 07, 2009 | |
|
The term “quality assurance” (or simply QA) often is equated to “testing”. Actually, testing is only one of methods of quality assurance. Often it’s called “quality measurement tool”. In most cases testing prevents delivery of product errors to end customer. If properly used, testing should prevent the appearance of these errors itself, by analysis of error causes (from requirements to human element) and following elimination of it. This article shows how product quality, particularly defects, influences the end result. The end result is a satisfaction of customer. |

| When a Formal Approach Does not Work for an Inquiry by Interviewing Customer Representatives |
| October 01, 2007 | |
|
Usually, in order to do an effective project inquiry of a customer's object not only a plan of the inquiry is composed but also specific inquiry methods, survey forms, forms of interviewing customer representatives are selected/adapted. Usually formalization of this process increases the efficiency of the inquiry in the specified time. |
