Developer's Corner / Keeping track of tasks, things to do on a programming project

« on: February 27, 2006, 12:29 PM »

Hi,

Whether as a hobbyist or professional developer, I was curious about some tools & methods people use to keep track of tasks for a project.  I have used a text file in the past for small projects, creating labels like:

[Select]

***********************
Things to Do
***********************
ADD ....
FIX .....
TEST ....
....

*****************
Finished tasks
*****************
....
etc.

As well as categories for design considerations, bugs, etc.

I have been experimenting with FreeMind (http://freemind.sour.../index.php/Main_Page) for organizing functional design thoughts and so far I am liking it.  For a to-do list application catered towards developers, I came across this the other day: http://www.abstracts...m/tdl_resources.html but have not done any testing on it so far.

Developer's Corner / 18 Monospace fonts comparison screenshot

« on: February 18, 2006, 05:50 PM »

Hi all,

After further research on monospace fonts after the Dina thread: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2397.0 I gathered up many fonts from:
http://www.lowing.org/fonts/  and http://typographi.com/000744.php

I decided to compile several of them together in one pic to offer a quick way to compare them.  Attached is the ClearType off version captured with Mouser's Screenshot Captor.

Enjoy!

[Edit:  Added the ClearType version.  In making the screenshot, the truetype version of each font was used if available.  Please note that there can be a significant visual difference between the bitmap and the truetype version.]
