I received an e-mail from a person in a networking group that I am leading.

After adjourning, we received 16 applications for memberships, out of [...]

I had been using a time management tool from Time-System (a small company based in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur) since 1995. But then I don’t know why, I stopped using the system since 2006.
