3 Things 1 Post

Several interesting entries, I didn’t want to post separately:

1. This post is written using Drivel Journal Editor running on Ubuntu 7.10. It is not polished as the MS Windows live writer. I was happy to find it includes a build in speller, though in a brief look it seems as if it is only capable of highlighting miss spelled word, later I found an option in the context menu called Spelling Suggestions. This is not the common way, but a nice solution for crowded context menus.
The meaning of Drivel is To slaver; to let spittle drop or flow from the mouth, like a child, idiot, or dotard. The software delivers basic operations (e.g. writing a post), it is straightforward and seems nice and friendly. Next …

2. Season of Usability 2008 is open and offers some interesting and challenging UI/UX practical experience. More details here: http://season.openusability.org/index.php/projects.

3. Do you have a wish list? From time to time I make a wish regarding new functionality in programs or services I use. For example, I wish I could stream my desktop using IM or at list send a screen capture easily. This can be a powerful tool for collaborative work, teaching and supporting. If this exists somewhere, let me know, if you decide to develop this feature… well this was my idea. If you have other wishes, write to us.
