Very simple procedure. All you need is a small screwdriver and some gentle but determined hands 😉 Turn your closed netbook over First turn your computer over so you can see the back of it as the image below: Circled in red is the panel that has 1 screw you will need to remove to […]
A very interesting study over at UsableWorld illustrates how images used in articles that have faces can have unusual effects on what people look at. Depending on the direction the faces are turned it changes the way people read the page. In this first example the face of the baby is looking straight forward. You […]
Just had a look over some photos I took when I went to Britanny a few weekends ago with Amandine. I came across some taken when we stopped in a field full of some vibrantly coloured flowers ! Lovely 🙂
A very interesting video presentation from AIIM that discusses various interesting topics including that of how Content Management and Enterprise 2.0 helped Obama win the presidency: This is the explanation provided on the blip tv site (weird player I must say but hey it does the job): Re-recording of John Mancini's keynote presentation at the […]

I had a problem the other day trying to get a Windows 7 operating system, that is in English to work with a French keyboard. Of course, I hadn't set it up myself, but was asked to change the system after the fact. It initially had an English QWERTY keyboard and then my friend started […]
Just came across a great post over on the Made by Many blog that provides an insightful history of wireframes and how designing webpages has evolved over the years to see the convergence of information/experience architect and designer 'savoir-faire' and far better wireframes in the process 😉 Yes the article is called the future of […]
I just came across a post on Jeff Atwoods 'Coding horror' site (can't even remember how I ended up there), and a post about blogging, more specifically the reactions you can get from irate people. I'm not sure his recommendation to ignore people is 'the' solution but it's an interesting point of view and account […]
Carrying across the types of situations that occur between clients and vendors (in the B2B world) to real world, everyday situations, now that could lead to some funny situations, couldn't it! I was perusing my dear Mr Marks blog and came across a link to Mr Potter's blog where I found the below video. What […]
Just came across this advert for the .tel domain name. Even though it is not new I'd never seen it and I find it quite funny. Especially when you view it on Youtube a little banner at the bottom that invites you to buy the song on iTunes, "Sweet about Me" by Gabriella Climi...
The importance of experience architects in creating or updating a web site is often underestimated.

Well here I am, writing about how great the Windows 7 RC1 operating system is, directly from my Dell XPS M1210 64 bit version. Although I went through a fair amount of trial and error and one complete re-install I'm happy to say nearly all the core elements are recognised and no more yellow triangles […]
Designing sites is a great opportunity, especially when you are lucky enough to be surrounded by clever and experienced people.
