Two LIFT Quotes

A lie is a conscious prevention of reality. A lie is not the opposite of truth; a lie is the opposite of reality.

Quoted from Peter Steignitz, Austrian social-psychologist, in a presentation.

The complexity of the name is part of the story. This is not technology as usual.

Rafi Haladjian about the naming scheme for Nabaztag. Subsequent versions of Nabaztag have /tag added to them, recursively, so the 4th would be Nabaztag/tag/tag/tag.

Unfortunately I didn’t write down any other quotes.

Web Hacker For Hire

Well hello! Within a few months I’ll be graduating from Twente University with my Bachelors degree in Computer Science. I’ve decided not to take a Masters, but to venture out into the world. More specifically, I’d like to venture out to Copenhagen. And since I’m not keen on moving to Copenhagen while still working for Xopus, I need a new job!

Forgetful Interfaces Workshop/Discussion @ LIFT

At last week’s most amazing LIFT conference I organized a workshop / discussion on forgetful interfaces. I’ve posted a report from the workshop on my very own LIFT blog, and it’s reposted here as well.

sIFR 3: r372 Zoom Away!

A quick update with regards to the beta. A number of issues have been found concerning page zoom and Firefox. These issues should all be fixed now. Other changes include:

Several bugfixes regarding forceSingleLine.
The XHTML demo was not built properly by the build script.
Added support for .sIFR-root { cursor: pointer; }.
Print preview in Firefox/Windows no longer throws errors.
The fixFocus caused infinite recursion, but no more!
sIFR should no longer cause the page to “jump” when the window is resized, although the sIFR elements may flicker a bit.
Text replaced through replaceText is now remembered after moving back to the page through browser history in Firefox.
