Secondly, jot down a quick note (ideally electronically). Then, at a future date, you can fairly easily link all the little ‘notes’/'dots’ together into an organic one with tag or the like.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetYou’re talking about technology horizon (btw, I remember the early internet days of 1994…).
Now, on individual level, if one keeps track of detailed things/data of what he/she does for a quite long span, say, 5 or even 10 years, then, use a supercomputer to crunch the data to come up with some “educated guess”, would it help him/her for “tomorrow”?
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSL can sell for something simply because there’s so many “idiots” out there. Using the quotes for idiots because if they manage to see value in it and since their opinion also counts, give a point or two to them for that, so, not exactly idiots.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI’d like to throw in my web-based simple time management tool as well, ppl, pls take a look (better review, hehe).
Also, the current default app does not include to-do / calender / schedule function (I’ll send URL for them upon request, tatata9999 at gmail).
Thks.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI believe Tom Markiewicz's main theme on this particular blog is about the importance of Usability, which I share. And I would think speed is also extremely important, again allow me to use the particular little web app I developed lately as a case, it was slow, frankly quite slow, my suspicion was on three possibilities, my box's security? my code is not optimized? db not well designed? And I knew I'm strong in the last two, so, I tackled the first suspect first, well, didn't find anything wrong, then I reexamined the other two, and late this afternoon I found the culprit, a humongous db log file laying around (it wasn't obvious). Man, now you know what lighting speed means. Sorry I'm getting off the topic.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetTom,
Very interesting observation about web usability. I think lots of times software engineers simply can't put themselves in user's shoes, I, for one among other things, had such an experience myself, a user reported "I'm confused" (for which I'm grateful), I thought, it's so simple and straightforward because it's a simple app. Looking forward to reading more on this topic.
