New theme!

Once again, I’ve change the look and feel of my blog to a new theme. I figured out that you all must be bored and tired with the previous theme, so I decided that an overhaul to blog’s look and feel would be appropriate.

I chose the new theme because I felt that it emphasis on readability for my loyal blog readers, with easy to navigate links and straight forward interface, hope you like it as well as I am. Please give a feedback on the new blog look, so I might have an idea of what you’re expecting from my blog

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!
