Notes from Anton's Desk
I can't believe it's March! I don't know about you, but I am just waiting until summer is here again. I love March because for me, it signals the start of spring.
I have always associated the daylight saving time, which in North America will happen on March 14 (reminder), with the start of spring. Sure spring officially starts on March 20, (and with all the snow we usually get in March and April, it truly doesn't start until much later), but for me spring starts on March 14. I can't wait!
Here is a little TV trivia for you. Who was it that once said: "Spring. Rejuvenation. Rebirth. Everything's blooming. All that crap." Know the answer? (Bonus points if you can name the specific episode) Let me know at anton.z@easyprojects.net and I'll see you in the next edition of Notes from Anton's Desk!

Together, we can help Haiti recover and re-build from the tragic events of January 12th.If you or anyone you know can take advantage of this offer, please visit http://www.softwareforhaiti.org.
Our hopes and prayers go out to those affected by the February 27th, Chile earthquake.
EP.NET Blog
Don't forget to check out our Easy Projects .NET blog, where every month we feature posts such as:- Project Management Software is Evil... Deal with it!
"Project Management Software is a very dangerous offender. If left unsupervised it can destroy your plans and kill your team morale."
Tip of the Month
Q: Is there a way to specify a date range when using a filter (for example on the Time Logs page)?
A: Yes! From the drop-down menu under Range, select Specified date range (the last option). This will allow you to enter a specific date range to apply to your filter. If you leave the start and/or end date in the "Specified date range" selection empty, then the report will show all entries for that activity starting with the very first.
