Picasso the GUI Designer

Picasso the GUI Designer 04/19/2004 07:01 AM

Robert McLaws is working on Vi sual Blogger 2004, a blog editor client for Windows.

Nice, but am I the only one who think Office 2003 GUI looks crappy?  Why are smart developers mimicking madness?  Eye-candies that distracts more than enhances user experience are not eye-candies but eye-sores.  And what's with all those bright colors?  Most people don't live and work in Gap stores and the real world is definitely not Technicolor.  Are Windows GUI designers Lego fanatics?

Think of colors as emotions.  Splattering emotions carelessly is annoying to users just as talking seriously to a guy wearing a clown suit is.  Take it easy, tone it down, and think twice before you start ejaculating colors like Picasso on LSD.

Open source citizenship

Open source citizenship 10/28/2003 11:06 PM

On the world stage, both failures and successes can loom larger than in the corporate cubicle. Developers who plug into the reputation-driven meritocracy of open source -- while advancing the goals of your business -- are a force to be reckoned with. [ InfoWorld: Open source citizenship: October 24, 2003]

This column was based on the observation that corporate IT shops are apparently more likely to fork an open source project for internal development and use, than to join and contribute to the project. Some correspondents were puzzled by my comments on licensing, so I'll try to clarify. The open source licensing regime, as Tim O'Reilly has often pointed out, has as its basis the distribution of source code. As we move to a service-oriented software ecosystem, that basis will necessarily erode. If a GPL'd module is copied, modified, and then deployed behind a firewall to power a service that's world-accessible and free (as in 'free beer'), then am I as a user of that service free (as in 'free speech') to modify and share it? In one sense yes, I can wrap the service in a novel service of my own creation -- if the provider's terms of service (a different layer of licensing) allow me to. In another sense no, the internal modifications that make the service more interesting/powerful/useful than the GPL'd original are not available to me for modification and sharing. ...
