misty version 3 design fixture

misty v1 to v2 banner

Before anything else, I would like thank you once again for visiting my humble website. Ok now as you can see, misty has a whole new look. Apparently it took me quite a while to finish this layout as I'm not much of a designer although sometimes i get the hang of it by staring at other 'godly' sites with awesome designs! I would wish to thank the guys at twitter for sharing inspiration that has given me a drive to do this fixture.

You might be wondering, yes this is version 3, where the hell is version 2? I'd say that version 2 was a failure, if you want to check it out then click: misty version 2. I wasn't so impressed with the way I did things so I had to scrap it. Good thing version 3 is finished and here you see it although I believe there could be more improvements to it. For those who haven't seen the previous version then click: misty version 1.

I would like to ask your opinion about the new design and if there are problems or layout issues please don't hesitate to leave a comment.

setting up redmine

Lately I've been having problems in managing projects and stuff so I told myself that I need some sort of a project-management tool that would tell me what projects I'm working on and what tasks need to be done. A superior of mine taught me about Redmine. Redmine is a project management web application that solves my problem.

For more information about redmine: click here.

For those who interested in installing redmine and are using windows here are some useful pointers:

First of all you have to have ruby installed on your machine. Here's how to install ruby: click here.

Secondly, Redmine requires a mysql database installed on your machine. If you have mysql installed then you may skip this step otherwise: click here.

Then finally; install redmine by following the steps found at redmine.org: click here.

I installed redmine on my machine for about an hour since I had to download all dependencies. I included all the links I used for your convenience. Before I started installing ruby on my machine, I already had XAMPP installed - which means I didn't have to install the mysql service.

If you found an easier way to install Redmine, please don't hesitate to leave a message.
