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.

Propel 1.1.0 (Default branch)

Propel 1.1.0 (Default branch) 04/08/2005 04:27 AM
Propel is an object persistence layer for PHP5 based on Apache Torque. In practical terms, it allows you to use objects instead of SQL to read and write rows in your database tables. It provides a generator that creates SQL definition files and PHP classes for your datamodel, and a runtime engine that transparently handles object persistence and retrieval. It makes it easy to customize generated classes; additionally, the use of XML, PHP classes, and the Phing build tool make it easy to integrate Propel with an existing application framework.

Changes:
This release fixes a number of bugs and introduces new features including pre-epoch date support, vendor-specific database metadata, removal of the PEAR::Log dependency, and some new methods in generated OM classes.

Larry Clark: Punk Picasso

Larry Clark: Punk Picasso 03/31/2005 09:34 AM
The Cheerful Transgressive Ever since 1971, when Larry Clark published Tulsa, an austere series chronicling his meth-shooting pals in sixties Oklahoma, Clark has made it his mission to document teenagers at their most deviant, their most vulnerable, their most sexually unhinged (possibly NSFW). And now “Larry Clark” the first American retrospective of Clark’s work, currently on display at the International Center of Photography, demonstrates the richness with which he’s mined this single subject (NSFW). More inside.

BoingBoing reader Jamie McCarthy writes

"Hi Xeni, re this story you blogged last year -- Take a look at this:

On Feb. 5, 2003, Negroponte sat next to Colin Powell for his historic speech to the U.N. urging multilateral war. That evening, at 10:51:58 PM EST, that photo of Negroponte was snapped, in front of the Guernica reproduction but far enough to its left that the curtain apparently did not stretch (or maybe the curtain had been removed that late in the evening). Now, a year later, that photo ended up on the homepage of the Coalition Provisional Authority. You can verify the timestamp in Photoshop by opening the JPEG, going to File Info, clicking Advanced, and looking at the XMP Core Properties. Small world...

PICASSO,
SVP

PICASSO,
SVP 01/07/2004 01:35 PM

Last April Robin Good wrote an article on his blog called 'Side by Side', about the need for what I've called Simple Virtual Presence technology. One of the services of my new business Meeting of Minds will be the Personal Collaboration Technologies Suite:A set of intuitive desktop tools that allow front-line workers to see and hear each other and to work together without having to be in the same room. SVP is a critical component of this suite. The key is that they must be simple -- connecting must be as easy as making a phone call. And once connected, you need to be able to work with the other person as effectively as if you were in the same room. The same Simple Virtual Presence technology should enable you to dial into conferences you cannot attend in person. Here's a rough spec for what Simple Virtual Presence technology should offer: One click dialing: A single click to the other person's or conference's address should provide full default multi-media connectivity, with no further 'configuration' needed. 'Who you see is who you get'. Connectivity should have three simultaneous 'viewpoints': sound and image of the other person him/herself, sound and image of what the other person is looking at/listening to, and a third 'backchannel' for sidebar communications. The default configuration might look like the image above. For SVP at a conference, the picture at left would be the person physically at the meeting you are 'channeling', the picture at right would be the speaker or his/her presentation material, and the 'backchannel' would be the sidebar discussions with other physical and virtual attendees of the conference. A pointer to show what you are specifically talking about. The analogue between physical and virtual presence is simple and intuitive: Two visual and two audio channels replace your physical eyes and ears, and the pointer replaces your finger. The backchannel gives you multitasking capability that puts you in exactly the same position with SVP that you would have with physical presence, all with a single click. All of the technology to do this exists now. It's just a matter of combining and simplifying it. And not much accommodation is needed at the other end either: A camera & mic on each laptop that can be swiveled to show either the user or what he/she is looking at, and a 'whiteboard' that shows the document the person at the other end is working on, or the document the presenter at the conference is talking about. What's critical is resisting the temptation to add a lot of bells and whistles. A virtual meeting should be, must be, no more complicated than a physical one, if it's to be embraced by the business mainstream. Robin calls this simple functionality 'Side by Side'. I think it's even a bit richer than that: I'd call it Side-by-Side & Face-to-Face. If that sounds a little larger than life, perhaps it is. So my suggested brand name for SVP technology? Why, Picasso, of course.
