2/17/2015
Has anybody been having recent troubles with Asana? I went to create a new workspace over the weekend, and it was not acting as it should. There was no tag filtering column (left pane), and the sear...

Hi Dr. Andrus,
Thank you for the reply. You reminded me that there are not two, but three ways to access multiple accounts (guest, separate accounts, separate tabs in one account). I suspect that I...

I do hate to bother those of you using a Chromebook, but, for better or for worse, I need to bring my Chromebook with me on an upcoming trip, and have a few questions about its set-up. I have mostly ...

Change in hardware/change in software?

Well, on the promise of clearing out some boxes, of which I have already started, and finding a bit of spare funds, I let a little GAS get the better of me and picked up an Acer Chromebook to try out....
