Creating process on Barium Live

After our company decided to buy a license for using Barium Live, I have trying to implement the first processes on this tool. My experience it is: - The tool (Barium) it is a very powerful one. - The tools for sending e-mails and creating instances without being a Barium Live user expands greatly the processes that can be implemented using this tool. - The documentation of the wiki needs to be improved. I had some problems because the process that I want to implement needed to create a second document on some particular states, and I. Didnt know that the property Createdatend needed to be set up on the document to make sure that that once the stated it is left the document it is created. Other point it is that formal processes that we had on our Quality Manual were a lot simjpler that the one that we need to implement on the tool. I have neeeded more work to capture the real process than the one used to implement the process on the tool. I have also to see how the other people on the company feels about the tool, it is allways difficult to start using a new tool.

Samsung Galaxy Tab and Bluetooth Keyboard

I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab, one of the first versions (GT-P1000) with a firmware 2.2 (FROYO.BUJI4), and I like to carry this device when I´m travelling. But altought it is possible to do a lot of things with this device, it takes a lot of time to write long e-mails. So, I decided to buy a bluetooth keyboard. After visiting some electronics shop, I decided to buy a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard.
There are a lot of keyboards compatible with Ipad, Iphone, etc., but this was the only that on the box was written that it can work with Android devices.
The keyboard works quite good, the only problem it is with the special simbols (á, é, etc.), but the performance when you have to write something it is a lot better.
Depending of the use of your table, this device can be also useful to you.
