A few days ago I wrote This blog is written by a human that is 91% male which is a tool that analyze your writings and finds the gender of the author. Via Cris I found an even more deeply analyzing tool that uses Myers-Briggs method to describe humans. When I took the real test 10 years ago I ended up as an ENTP personality, and Typealazer finds me being an ESTP. I bet not many bloggers are introvert though….
In the last part of January Antrop and NetRelations arrange the webb09 event. I just signed up!
Apple is building in some copy-protection hardware making it impossible to play DRM content wherever you want even if you buy it. It’s the same thing as with Itunes shop: If I buy a song there it will cost me a dollar or so and the only thing I get is the possibility to NOT play it wherever I want. If I copy it from a file-share server instead I will pay nothing and be able to play the song wherever I want.
How can that help out the record industry?
Now Apple is adding some hardware in their machines so that we can’t play bought content wherever we want. This is a whole lot of crap and upsets me a lot.
According to the (probably hopefully) very scientific analyze performed by GenderAnalyser this blog is 91% male.
We have strong indicators that http://www.dagerot.com is written by a man (91%).

From now, 06:18am Monday morning I will try using the keyboard layout Dvorak instead of the old boring Qwerty.

The lazy fox jumps over the brown dog!

(This with qwerty! It only took me like 3,5 minutes to write that complex phrace above, this gotta be really good after a while….) (I never found the ‘:’ on my swedish dvorak layout….

For a reference I tested my current writing speed over at TyperA and this was the result:
With QWERT:

Language/mode: en
Ranking: Not bad!
Comparison: 55% of 32121 registered TyperA users using this language have typed a better result; 45% have a lower or equal result
With DVORAK:
Your score: 16 keys per minute ~ 3 words per minute
Language/mode: en
Ranking: Try again!
Comparison: 99% of 32121 registered TyperA users using this language have typed a better result; 1% have a lower or equal result.

I love playing videogames. I have tried a lot of them… for like an hour then I get bored. Or sometimes a week and then I forget to play. I simply don’t have the spirit to be a good dedicated player.
But this game is good, requires only a few minutes attention a day: http://www.volvooceanracegame.org

Though my favorite application server is Lotus Domino I realize that I haven’t posted much domino-centric stuff lately. So here you are:
The $$viewtemplate is a rather amazing thing. It’s mainly a form that wraps around a view when the user accesses the view, but the usage can be very flexible. Here are three tips & tricks I’ve been using over the years:

I spent my afternoon in a conference center listening to three different speaches; prototyping, stop-desiging-for-paper and society vs. citizen. I will comment below:
This speach was about the benefits of using prototyping early in the process. It covered different prototyping tools covering everything from post-it to HTML-code via white board and Adobe Flex. The speach was a bit short and atleast I missed some touch with real cases. Is it just me that finds it harder to leave a huge offer on a pre-study involving an interactive HTML compared to when the pre-study was delivered on pictures or pure text for example.
This was hopefully an eye-opener for many in the audience. The speaker showed us examples on how we still, 15 years later, very often design web-pages as we would have done for a paper media. He showed examples on how a design grows and smalls depending on the device. He didn’t covered the need to find information that has the right weight for the upper right corner, something that’s important to people with two monitors but that’s enough important for laptop users to not be shown or atleast be shown at the end, off-screen, of the page. There’s a site for this ‘movement’ aswell: stopdesigningforpaper.com with a linked in youtube video with the speach in english.
In my country we have a lot of insurances covered in the taxes. For example when I need to stay home from work because of my or my kids sickness. The organisation behind these money transfers are enourmos. Actuallt they are so complex and huge that no ones really can say how much the administration costs vs how much money is transfered. Really scary. The speach gave us an insightful view over this complexity for example that there are 12 different steps in the ‘wizard’ we use to report a sick child. He covered the focus on mental mind and showed the problem in giving the user a good mental mind when he sees the form for reporting sickness compared to the enourmos paragraph that coveres the rules around this insurance.
I’m happy that I took the time to visit this event and would like to say Thank You to all involved, especially Logica, Tieto Enator, Antrop and InUse.
