I tell the story every now and then of a job search early in my career. I was looking to make a move out of my then-current role. I found a job I was interested in. I emailed my resume to the hiring manager (this was back before LinkedIn EasyApply or Workday or Greenhouse). I […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve played around with the Trello API but my “To-Do” board was annoying me recently and I found something new to automate. As I’ve previously mentioned, I’ve got a webhook listening to my “To-Do” board. I’ve also mentioned that this board consists of “Not Started,” “In Progress,” and “Done” columns. In […]
I’ve got a webhook for my main Trello board that’s so simple that I don’t really even think of it anymore. Today, though, I was working in the board my wife and I use for our household stuff and it annoyed me that it wasn’t there, so I set it up and figured it was […]
I’m trying to get myself to better recognize work I’ve completed, so I wrote a process to look at my Trello board and send a Slack message to myself. This is why and how.
So I’m a bit particular about how I keep my finances in order. To the point that I wrote my own web-based ledger software to help myself keep it all straight. Yeah, there are third-party solutions out there, but I wanted something that worked exactly the way I wanted. Every couple days I pull receipts […]
I write about the Trello API a lot. So much that I’ve already noted that I write about it a lot. I keep coming across new stuff, though, so I’m going to keep writing about it. My latest experiment was a look into using their batch call, which I don’t see a lot of documentation about […]
I’ve written pretty extensively on my work with the Trello API and yesterday I got to present the code side of it at TechSmith’s internal development conference, ReCon. Last year I presented for the first time (when the event was called DevCon) and I think I learned a lot from it that helped me this […]
I’ve been writing a ton of late about the Trello API because I’ve basically been head-down in it for the last week. Today I discovered my new biggest annoyance with an otherwise awesome tool. Using the Trello UI, it’s really simple to move a card from one column/list to another on the same board. Click […]
Last week I published a bit of code that uses the Trello API to keep parent and child cards synced across a set of boards. It was a little piece of research that has absolutely taken off around the office so I’ve been expanding on it and demoing it and talking about it and generally […]
One of the things my team at work always seems to have a problem with is tracking our tasks and how they fit into the bigger picture of our team’s goals. We had these problems when we were using a bulletin board, we have these problems now that we’re using a single Trello board. We […]
