The epic adventures of Martin and thoughts on HCI, Usability, Sofware, being an Expat and stuff. DfC Cologne - the tale of the roadtrip, the conference and winning a mug. A couple of weeks ago my fellow UX specialist Miranda de Groot. And I visited Design for Conversion in Köln. Since we had already blown through the funds allocated for conferences this year we wanted to keep it as cheap as possible so we booked rooms at a F1 hotel in Frechen. And went by car. Trans it's really not that bad). But man!

The epic adventures of Martin and thoughts on HCI, Usability, Sofware, being an Expat and stuff. A week with Boxee box. I received my Boxee box last weekend and I thought that I would share my views on the device now that I have spent some time getting to know it. The reviews that I read before making my decision where quite negative but all of them stated that the product had great potential and could grow into something quite fantastic with future firmware updates. There seems to be good developer supp...

fancywalkin: The mantra is simple: Research, Design, Test and Repeat!
http://fancywalkin.blogspot.com/2011/02/catering.html
The epic adventures of Martin and thoughts on HCI, Usability, Sofware, being an Expat and stuff. The mantra is simple: Research, Design, Test and Repeat! In an undisclosed city at an undisclosed company the catering contract ended and the company set out finding a new supplier. As the new year started so did the new catering company. This is a tale of how a perceived cost cutting measure turned out to cause massive frustration and costing more. Therefore it came as quite a surprise to what extent the new...

The epic adventures of Martin and thoughts on HCI, Usability, Sofware, being an Expat and stuff. Some shameless bragging - Stapel and De Koning the movie is live! Since I started working at Reed Business I have been working on a rich information site for the Dutch police - Stapel and De Koning. The marketing team put together a short commercial about the product which went live today. Right now it is only in Dutch but I plan to upload a verison with subtitles in English as well.

I installed Bullzip PDF printer since I was lacking the built in print-to-pdf functionality that Mac OS X has had since it's first release. After the installation I discovered that the PDF printer now was my deafult printer and there was no way of changing that in the print dialogue (where I expected to find it).

fancywalkin: CSS3 generators
http://fancywalkin.blogspot.com/2011/06/css3-generators.html
The epic adventures of Martin and thoughts on HCI, Usability, Sofware, being an Expat and stuff. I find myself using CSS more and more where before I used to be relying on Photoshop or its CS brethren. No more creating gradients in Photoshop or awkward hacks with the float property to create a rounded corner effects. Assuming this might be interesting to more people than myself, I have compiled a list of tools that I've used for my latest project:. The works (shadows, stroke, you name it). A week with Bo...

Yesterday I emailed some drafts for upcoming blogposts using mail2blogger to my Blogger account. Somewhere along the line Blogger had forgotten my settings, which where set on saving incoming emails as drafts. Instead the emails where published directly. To anyone who read my draft blog posts and wondered if the author had suffered a stroke - I apologize. View my complete profile.
