Open Source Project Management

Alright. Here's the deal. Who needs a feature bloated application when you know that you will not need it all and that it's possibly confusing? All hands shot up in my work place when it comes to project management. Some swear by using spreadsheets for everything including PM. Yet, there's the frustration with Microsoft Project.

MS Project is an excellent tool but far too complicated for my liking. So I had to search around for project management tools and, as usual, open source was the keyword (especially Windows).

21 Years of the Web

Who would have thought that an independent contractor in the 1980s would have created the foundations of a revolutionary technology, which changes the way we live? It all began in the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), in Switzerland, when Tim Berners-Lee proposed and built a database of people and software models that can be shared over the Internet using the HyperText. By the end of 1990s, he created the set of elements that build a web page and its access, HTTP and HTML. In fact he also created the first browser - WorldWideWeb. The rest, you can say, is history... with a large commercial undertaking and the growth of servers across academia then the world Now, there exists well over 80 million websites and a growing user base - hundreds of millions. So it's happy 21st birthday to the Web. Celebrate good times.
