Project management software is not just for managing software based project. It can be used for variety of other tasks too. The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives. A web-based project management software can be accessed through an intranet or WAN / LAN using a web browser. You don't have to install any other software on the system. The software can be easy of use with access control features (multi-user). I use project management software for all of our projects (for e.g. building a new cluster farm) for issue / bug-tracking, calender, gantt charts, email notification and much more. - Nils Geylen

Four new apps have gotten some press of late and I think all are worth a look. They vary in their approach: two are minimilistic and sparse by design, while the other two attempt to meet the needs of more strict GTDers. Let’s take a brief look at each one. - Nils Geylen

started looking for solutions and found a few which I tested during one week. In this article I'll tell you about each and will guide you on setting up the one I think is the most convenient: your own VPN setup running on Ubuntu.Google quickly told me that using a virtual private network (VPN) with a server in the US would fit the bill for this problem. My connection would go thru the VPN and Hulu will see me as coming from a US based IP. - Nils Geylen

"Honestly, I'd actually hesitate showing this chart to doubting business prospects. What a skeptic would read here is that of the limited number of businesses that currently invest in social media (how much would that be? 15%?) only a third has seen their brand awareness gone up so much as to be able to call that "a success"... That doesn't really make it look like a goose with golden eggs. Not to say I'm not an advocate: *if* you participate in social media, you do seem to have a 60% chance of increasing web site traffic at least. From there on it depends on what you do next, with the site and with the audience you've reached. A lot of work still to be done there. Cheers though for the graph. It will be interesting to track how this evolves." - Nils Geylen

Papyrus is one of the fonts that has been heavily abused. Its over-use has striped away all mean it can convey. It has been used for everything from book covers, iPhone apps, bakery menus, apartment signs, video game covers, and more. Even McDonald's has succumbed to the inappropriate use of Papyrus. There is an entire Flickr photo pool devoted to real-life examples where this font has been used and abused. It seems that with the recent "green" movement, Papyrus has been the de-facto font for all thing natural or earthy. But people, it doesn't have to be this way. There are many sites out there that have oodles of free fonts available for download. I've searched high and low, and found some great free fonts to use as a substitute for Papyrus. - Nils Geylen

Fascinating idea about how websites will/may never be held in regard like say an Eames chair. A community may be durable, a design celebrated, but never durable or sustainable? - Nils Geylen
