Hi Guys! |
2 |
|
3 |
i'm writing a thesis on "the user-centerd desktop". |
4 |
as part of the thesis i'm doing a prototype too. |
5 |
|
6 |
this is something i really longed to do for a long time and am now about to |
7 |
start. since i'm under a tight schedule and am not too good a programmer with |
8 |
not too much experience it ain't gonna be something big. |
9 |
|
10 |
but anyway. read some boox. surfed around. |
11 |
found the plasma project (plasma.kde.org). xinf.org (xinf.org). screenweaver |
12 |
hx (http://haxe.org/swhx). of course there is superkaramba ... |
13 |
|
14 |
tend to doing it in haxe (eclihaxe + screenweaver hx) ... pretty sure about |
15 |
that since the only language i'm really fluent in is actionscript and haxe is |
16 |
not far from it (wanted to do it in flex before ... but prefer haxe since |
17 |
it's all open source) |
18 |
|
19 |
did some research on hci (designing interactions) ... am going to do empirical |
20 |
user research .... non-technical-useres .. |
21 |
am doing some research on the piling metapher and lifestreams & co at the mom. |
22 |
|
23 |
bumptop by the way with it's piling metaphor is really something very |
24 |
appealing and those guys with their thesis did exactly what i'm going to do. |

|
27 |
well, i'm not exactly sure what i wanna say or question with this, but hey, |
28 |
found out about this mailing list and thought - hey, sounds great, give it a |
29 |
shot. |
30 |
|
31 |
so if you got any ideas, proposals, whatever, here i am |
32 |
|
33 |
Cya, |
