17 Things You Should Stop Doing to Your Websites We see dozens of guides and tutorials on how we should make our websites better to rank, convert, and perform.

5 Best Free and Open-source Real-time Strategy Games for Linux StarCraft and Red Alert are two of my favorite real-time strategy (RTS) games.

All About Project Management Project management is a carefully planned and organized effort to accomplish a successful project. A project is a one-time effort that produces a specific result, for example, a building or a major new computer system. This is in contrast to a program, which is 1) an ongoing process, such as a quality control program, or 2) an activity to manage a series of multiple projects together. In some countries, the term "program" refers to a software tool and the term "programme" can mean a TV or radio show. Project management includes developing a project plan, which includes defining and confirming the project goals and objectives, identifying tasks and how goals will be achieved, quantifying the resources needed, and determining budgets and timelines for completion. Projects usually follow major phases or stages (with various titles for these), including feasibility, definition, project planning, implementation, evaluation and support/maintenance.
