Twelve tips for realistic scheduling
It's common to hear teams complain that "we don't have enough time." We often feel overwhelmed and helpless against an aggressive schedule, and when we work "against" something like time or schedules, there is much struggle and a large chance of failure. When we stop fighting against time1 and work within our schedules and abilities, we increase our success rate.
For instance, the schedules themselves may not be aggressive; it's just that we've chosen to put too much into that allocated time. Intelligently deciding what to put into the schedule and how to work within those boundaries is within our control.
The following techniques will help restore that control. They illustrate what to prioritize, and how to clarify your vision by comparing the relative worth and value of each activity.
- Don't allow "being busy" to derail your commitments.
- Document a detail task list.
- Identify critical paths and bottlenecks early.
- Work on what will be of value to the customer.
- Institute customer-sponsored releases.
- Master effective and rapid decision making.
- Rigorously institute reasonable forcing functions.
- Execute effective meeting management.
- Accept progressive refinement.
- Reduce inventory wherever possible.
- Don't be the source of the chaos.
- Beware of heroics culture.
Note: I conclude some of my tips with boxed information I call an "additional tip." These boxes contain some related techniques to be used at your discretion. Depending upon the organizational makeup, some of these further suggestions may not always be appreciated.

Here is the few flashback of Bio informatics potential information and the Technologies Gap. Please have a look on it and let me know if you need any more information. If you dig little more, you can easily judge the the potential of playing the Microsoft .Net Game and it's related fields.
Few nuggets..!
"..One corporate representative estimated that approximately 60 percent of his time as a bio informatics group leader was spent searching for individuals with the right mix of skills in the mid-1990s. The common reason for observing skills mismatch was difficulty in finding candidates with an adequate understanding of biology and computational skills who also had prior industry experience..."

"RNCOS analysts predict the product lines, software tools and other biometric applications to project an annual market growth of 15.8% or US $3 billion by 2010 higher by 14.5% in 2003. With this the bioinformatics companies could consolidate data, make analysis & useful management and disseminate tools to help drug companies to curtail cost and time."

"With current revenues at around $ 840 million, Scope forecasts the bioinformatics market to become more dominant in the future and increase to around $1.82 billion by 2007. The growth rate is expected to stabilize at 17 percent per annum until 2007 as the sequencing of the human genome nears completion in 2003. Over the past years, bioinformatics has gained acceptance among number of markets especially in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial biotechnology and agricultural biotechnology (agbiotech)."

".... bioinformatics is a field of research that has undergone a rapid explosion in terms of the numbers of tools and techniques that it has produced. While much of this progress can be attributed to the adaptability and flexibility of open source technologies such as Linux and Perl, it is important for bioinformatics professionals to consider that disseminating their bioinformatics tools to users can be as critical to scientific progress as developing new tools. A key way to facilitate the widespread dissemination of bioinformatics applications to biologists will likely be the development of an open sourced .NET class library to serve as framework for Windows-based bioinformatics applications...."

Working with Ranges
After long time again got chance to work on VSTO 1.0. I was trying to install the VSTO 1.0 and got the surprise. I was pretty good impression that VSTO 1.0 works on all kind Office 2003 but unfortunately it works only Microsoft Professional edition 2003. Visual Studio Tools for Office developers “must have” Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 installed on their computers. This is really disappointing for me, Keep tune will update the reason behind or if somebody knows please post it here.
Here is little basic information.
The following Microsoft Office 2003 suites DO NOT qualify for VSTO:
Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003
