  • Yes you are right...sometimes the best projects do fail because of ignorance to detail. That is why a formal project management methodology such as MPMM is important to use.
  • duly noted. while software can help the logistics of a project, the people that are involved are still ultimately the key factors.


    learning programming trains your mind to re-check, test, and evaluate the efficiency of how things are done.



    while commercial software may benefit, there are also other robust, free open-source options.
  • great website, man, and i like how you've customized the blog template.

    by the way, how exactly did you apply a background image? i'm using Cutline too, but i haven't got a clue how (or where) to add that.
  • thanks James. cutline has the new custom.css file that allows changes without changing the source files. unfortunately, the key elements, like background, do not use the custom.css. i directly modified it and put the bg.gif image in the tag.

    i suggest downloading the firebug firefox extension. it will show you exactly each element on the page as well as the css tied to it so you can see it.
  • wow, Firebug is outstanding. thanks, Fredric, that's exactly what I needed.

    keep on writing...
