Stuck on a train? Twitter to the rescue!

October 22, 2007 – 9:07 am

It was a dark weekend for English sport. However, I did discover a new use for Twitter. Missing the second half of the Brazillian Grand Prix to get on a train from Leeds back to London, and with Hamilton scrabbling his way up the ranks, I wasn’t relishing the idea of not knowing what was [...]

TiddlyChatter – designing the user experience

October 19, 2007 – 6:31 pm

After releasing TiddlyChatter v0.6 on TiddlySpot, I’m taking a step back and focussing on what I can do to make TiddlyChatter as easy to understand and use as possible. It’s taken me two weeks of living in the thick of it to get to a point where I can clearly articulate what the point of [...]

TiddlyChatter v0.6 – with TiddlySpot!

October 16, 2007 – 8:50 pm

This is a strange release, because most of the work has been to get TiddlyChatter to play nicely with TiddlySpot and improvements in the documentation based on actually trying to use it… The idea with this release is that you can go to http://tiddlychatter.tiddlyspot.com and that will guide you through the process of installing the [...]

TiddlyChatter v0.5

October 9, 2007 – 6:42 pm

I’m pleased to announce the first “usable” release of TiddlyChatter, a project I’ve written about before here and here. You can find an example TiddlyWiki loaded up with TiddlyChatter (hit right-click to save) here. (And another with different colours for testing on one machine) The instructions are all in there. I’ve thought hard about the [...]

The cognitive style of TiddlyWiki

October 9, 2007 – 3:59 pm

“The [PowerPoint] slide format has the worst signal/noise ratio of any known method of communication on paper or computer screen.” [page 26] I have just finished reading an essay entitled “The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint: Pitching Out Corrupts Within“, by Edward R. Tufte, which has been a brilliant read. Tufte’s assertion, evidenced by almost a [...]

User Interface design and the role of the programmer

October 3, 2007 – 10:11 am

Anyone who has had a conversation with me, over the past six months or so, about web programming will know that I am a firm advocate of the less-technical programmer. That phrase is heavily loaded and I will explain in a second, but I mean that creating applications, particularly web applications, is increasingly within the [...]
