In order to do that, I spent ages testing out project management software again, because working with FastTrack Scheduler was so frustrating and unrewarding.

Mackie's was interested in increasing milk yields and decreasing the cost of human labour required to obtain the milk. Cows could be milked when they wanted to be milked. Good for the cows. Good for Mackie's. Good for the ice-cream too. 70@http://einiverse.eingang.org/ t5lks 2004-10-06T15:58:40+00:00 http://einiverse.eingang.org/archives/2004/07/eincite_project.php This PDF document, created in April of 2004, is a three-page version of content from the EinCite poster which explains the EinCite project and results to date.
