Doodle: easy scheduling
Doodle: easy scheduling
Free tool, no registration required. Create an event and some suggested times and send the link out to participants. Let everyone choose which times they are available. With registration, you can connect it to your calendar. I do sometimes miss enterprise Outlook for the simplicity of seeing everyone's availability when scheduling meetings, but this would probably work for most of my needs now.

FreshBooks - Online Invoicing, Accounting & Billing Software
Someone mentioned this tool in a LinkedIn discussion about how to get paid as a freelancer. I don't spend enough time invoicing right now to justify this, but the tool looks promising if I ever get to a point where I am spending multiple hours doing paperwork.

How much to charge as a consultant?
How much to charge as a consultant?
Presentation on pricing for e-learning businesses and consultants. Slides 7 & 8 show a sample calculation of how to figure out how much to charge per hour. The formatting is awful, at least in FF, but the information is good. Overhead seems a little high to me--it makes sense if you are renting an office, but that should be much less if you're an individual working from home.

Tool for developing branching dialogue. It's designed for both video games and training. There are more features here than what I would need for most scenario-based training I develop, but for something complex this would be a great way to create and test a conversation. It also exports to a very clean screenplay for actors. The free version is only for personal use, but the Indie license is only $60 and would be worth it for a complex enough project. I can usually keep it all straight in my own head in Word, but I've had problems getting actors and developers to understand how the pieces fit together. The simulated dialog might be enough to help others see the flow.
