interaction design prototyping tools

By |2016-01-12T21:09:33+02:00May 14th, 2011|design, Interaction Design, user experience design (UX)|0 Comments

  This post is about free and commercial (most are online) prototyping tools that can be used for interaction design and user experience design. I try hard to categorise these tools in different sections according to their major scope, functionality or purpose, but in many cases these can be used in different design practice contexts. Feel free to provide corrections, suggestions and any other feedback.   Charts Lucidchart :: http://www.lucidchart.com/ Mindmaps UML Diagrams Collaborative in real-time creately :: http://creately.com/ Wireframing FluidIA :: http://fluidia.org/ experience thread Open source not stable flairbuilder :: http://flairbuilder.com/ productplanner :: http://productplanner.com/ Mockflow :: http://mockflow.com/ Pidoco :: https://pidoco.com Paper/Digital pototyping & mockups mockingbird :: https://gomockingbird.com/ Balsamiq Mockups :: specialized tool, commercial - $$ creates high level mockups in a "hand drawn" style Cross platform and integrative (for Confluence, JIRA, XWiki) http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop axure http://axure.com/ Storyboarding Balsamiq http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop   Screen Design and Interface design ForeUI:: http://www.foreui.com/ Pencil Project :: [...]

LEDs & resistors

By |2016-01-12T21:09:35+02:00April 18th, 2011|electronics, technology|2 Comments

  To calculate the resistance when powering a LED use this: R=(Vpow-Vled)/I R: is the needed resistance Vpow: is the voltage of our source or power supply (e.g. battery) Vled: voltage of the LED I: the maximum of current that goes through our LED. for a 2V (diode forward voltage) LED we need 20mA =0.02A (diode forward current) So, for instance, if we have a 12V battery then: R=(12-2)/0,02= 10/0.02=500 Ohm Another example is the use of multiple LEDs in an array. So, for an array of 4 LEDs with diode forward voltage 2V, diode forward current (0.02mA) and a Vpow of 12V we need: 4 x 1 array uses 4 LEDs exactly +12V R = 220000 ohms each 220000 ohm resistor dissipates 0.088 mW the wizard says the color code for 220000 is red red yellow the wizard thinks 1/4W resistors are fine for your application together, all resistors dissipate 0.088 mW [...]

CyanogenMod 7.0 stable is out

By |2016-01-12T21:09:35+02:00April 11th, 2011|android|0 Comments

CyanogenMod 7.0 stable version is now available: 1, 2 It includes Android 2.3 Gingerbread stock platform (actually Android 2.3.3), app2sd capabilities, root access, incognito mode for the Android Browser, CPU frequency adjustments and clocking through governor selection, OpenVPN & SIP, USB/WiFi/Bluetooth tethering, FLAC support, an FM Radio player, play/pause with camera buttons, trackball wake and a number of features, changes and enhancements over the original rom. There are some issues still that I have identified, most of them comming from the original Android 2.3. For me these include: Exchange/Corporate sync issue: 1 Bug in unchecking Background data box: Issue 2931 Answering delay: 1,2,3, (probably related to the exchange sync bug. both of them seem to be caused from the issue that causes receiving broadcasts to stop after some time.) CHANGELOG 7.0.0 Common: Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) - Google Common: Fixes and changes from AOSP master - Various Common: ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0: [...]

Lacan’s unpublished seminars

By |2016-01-12T21:09:35+02:00March 6th, 2011|philosophy|0 Comments

linked from: lacaninireland A1: SEMINARS INTRODUCTION These translations were originally done for a reading group of colleagues and graduates which has met since 1987.  Each translation was drafted during the summer vacation, was worked through on a weekly basis by the group and then given its present form. Tony Hughes has undertaken the task of putting the original photocopies of the seminars into a presentable form.  Here is his description of where the work is at: a)      All seminars will be updated to improve readability and give a more professional finished product. This requires a very large number of adjustments, given the number of seminars involved. b)      The following seminars have the diagrams inserted: Seminars V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII, XIV. c)       The remaining seminars do not as yet have any diagrams inserted, these are: XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, and XXIII. d)      As each [...]

The Julian Assange Conspiracy – Networks, power and activism

By |2016-01-12T21:09:35+02:00March 6th, 2011|politics|0 Comments

linked from: ABC radio national, philosopherszone The object of Wikileaks is to dismantle the conspiracies that, according to its founder, rule the world. But what is a conspiracy and are you part of one? According to Assange, it's possible to be a member of conspiracy without even knowing that you are. This week, we look at Julian Assange's political philosophy and his view of the world as a network of conspiracies.
