Create Gantt Chart with Planner : MS Project Alternative

This post is dedicated to those who asked me before about project planning software. For those who are familiar with Windows operating system might used to Microsoft Project or Primavera, I believe that the same sort of people with miss the software when they moved to GNU/Linux.

But don’t be afraid, there’s Planner ! Planner lets you visualise your project planning using interfaces that are similiar to Microsoft Project. Like other project management software, Planner lets you assign resources and creates critical path schedules.

So now you’ve no excuse using Linux for project management anymore!

You can open an open source project via Google code right now providing that your project has a different name than existing project in Sourforge.net, another open source hosting service.

OpenDarwin project is going to shut down

Hexley
OpenDarwin website has posted this announcement,

Over the past few years, OpenDarwin has become a mere hosting facility for Mac OS X related projects. The original notions of developing the Mac OS X and Darwin sources has not panned out. Availability of sources, interaction with Apple representatives, difficulty building and tracking sources, and a lack of interest from the community have all contributed to this. Administering a system to host other people’s projects is not what the remaining OpenDarwin contributors had signed up for and have been doing this thankless task far longer than they expected. It is time for OpenDarwin to go dark.

Tough luck eh, Hexley

My personal workstation keyboard

Introducing my workstation keyboard, I bought it in around 2001, and been serving me well. The letter ‘Q’ broke out from the keyboard when I attempted to clean it. The letter even took part of the keyboard with it, lucky that the letter ‘Q’ is quite unpopular when typing compared to the letter ‘E’, ‘R’ or ‘D’.

If you noticed, the labelling on the keyboard are also gone, heh this is due to the toxicity of my sweat on the fingers. It swept away those letters.

well, there you go my favorite personal keyboard.
