Moving

Hi, it was some time since I've blogged here at blogspot. Well, the reason is simple. I have moved completely to blog.reis.se. It's my own space I can do what I like with it and its easier for me to maintain.

Besides when reading my posts through an rss reader its possible to read and drop comments right there..

I might drop a few lines from time to time here but my main space is now blog.reis.se

Annoying home appliances

I just moved to a new hose, with new kitchen appliances, washer and drier, timers on some of the outlets an so on. This is not super fancy high-tech but still the existence of the all those appliances annoys me, well not the existence. But they appear to me like an obnoxious kid that always needs the full attention from me. Whenever I finally forget that they exist they call out for me. "Beep, hey, look at me I managed to shut off the power to you coffee maker!" "Beep beep, ohh, ohh, I managed to dry all your clothes... beep beep, come look at the clothes now... beeeeeep beeeep COME RIGHT NOW and look at all the dried clothes!"

Dotway talks about WPF on MSDN TV

A couple of months ago I had the oppertunity to attend an MSDN show insperired session with Johan Lindfors and André Henriksson. This was studio filmed and was released two days ago. How could I miss that? It was there in the feed if I just had gotten around to read it.

Anyway, head over to swedish MSDN TV and grab the broadcast it's "the one about WinFX", view it "live" select the chalk talk section and enjoy.

By the way, if you download the film just to watch my pretty face, I'm not in that one. The chalk talks Seems to be missing from the archive.

BTW, it's me in the middle...

Agile Usability No 2 - AID

I haven’t been writing about the progress so far but here it comes. One of the major concerns was about TLA for the process. Me and a college of mine discussed it for quite some time and the result was AID. For you that are not familiar with TLA; it stands for Three Letter Acronym and it is a must for any technical whitepaper. The AID stands for Agile Interaction Design. And the TLA, at first a joke turned quite good. AID is not intended as a standalone process, it should be an aid for the agile development process. See my point here? ;)

Kill of the menu-toolbar paradigm

I saw this great article, Tipping the Scale (Why the UI, Part 5), concerning the level of complexity when using the, now, old menu-toolbar paradigm. This has been used and worked well ever since it was introduced in the late 70's and went mainstream during the 80's.

SonyEricsson lost it again

I got me a SonyEricsson w900i mobile phone. The feature list is as full as ever and as usual they didn't do the integration thing the way it should have been done. I just want to point out one of the stupidest thing here. The side buttons.
