The Busway Slips to the New Year?

There is a video on this article, where it would appear that the long delayed busway will start services in the New Year.

They should have used some of my software to get it right.

Silk Icons

There is a lot of good free stuff on the Internet. I’ve just upgraded MX73 with the Silk Icons from a guy in Birmingham. West Midlands not Alabama!

At least the software is coming on fast.  It’s one of the advantages about living alone.  There is no-one to tell you when you are working too hard!

What MX73 is About

Years ago I wrote a lot of Project Management Software.  Now at the age of nearly 62, I’m at it again, with a system called MX73, that stores all of the data in Excel workbooks and worksheets.

Here’s are some examples of the bar charts that can be created.

Note that you have complete control over headings, colours, scales and what data is shown in the bar chart.

Bar Chart with Star

In this chart one of the many symbols abailable is used to show the float.  But suppose you used a star tom show that you had been paid for the work you had carried out.

If you’d like to open the Excel Workbook, you can download it from here.

Note that the file is in Excel 2003 format, so that more people can read it. But don’t use this format for a serious amount of graphics in Excel, as the file tends to grow like “Topsy”.  Excel 2007 does not have the problem.

Raising the Anonymity a Bit

I was going to keep this blog completely anonymous, but a lot of my friends have seen it and if you follow me on something like Facebook or Twitter, you’ll have sussed the connection.  After all the Twitter account is on the page anyway.

At the moment, I’ve more than one blog going and the other concerns my new Management Software System called MX73.  So that I can post in fewer places, I’ll put odd comments about that here.
