Cazzo a Ux London c'è Scott McCloud.
a Uxlondon c'è un sacco di gente... tipo morville, per dire - Matteo Balocco
È pieno di guri, ovviamente. Ma McCloud mi impressiona di più perché è il personaggio fuori dallo stretto giro della UX che però ha un casino da dire e ha capito molte cose prima di altri studiando un mezzo che potrebbe apparire primitivo, ma che non lo è per nulla. - Kurai (ff)
Vabbè, io il fumetto su Chrome lo tengo sempre in altissima considerazione, per dire. - Matteo Balocco
Per dire, alcune sue intuizioni sull'approccio dell'utente vs. l'approccio del professionista sono applicabili pari pari al game design e al web. E servono. - Kurai (ff)
Hai letto Understanding comics? Se non lo hai fatto ti consiglio di ordinarlo. È in assoluto uno dei libri che mi sono serviti di più, per cose diversissime - Kurai (ff)
Uh... cazzarola... ce ne sarebbe da leggere! - Matteo Balocco
Fidati. - Kurai (ff)
Confermo quanto affermato da Federico, Understanding Comics è un libro da leggere, da avere e da prestare. Sembra che parli di fumetti, ma parla di linguaggi. E lo fa con riflessioni parecchio acute. - Jacopo Colò
Per dire, il concetto di closure è una di quelle cose che ai progettisti web serve tantissimo. Uff, vorrei davvero poter andare a sentirlo, è un genio totale. - Kurai (ff)
Confermo anche io che i libri sui fumetti di McCloud mi sono stati utilissimi, e non ho mai disegnato fumetti. E sulla distribuzione digitale e il ruolo dei computer fece ragionamenti assolutamente attuali quasi 10 anni fa. - Opensource Obscure
ma insomma, si va? matteo, kurai, facciamo la solita delegazione ux italiana? :-) - Alberto Mucignat
Albé, da 'ste parti manca il fattore economico, a 'sto giro tocca saltare :( - Kurai (ff)
va beh, ti capisco, di sti tempi... - Alberto Mucignat
Understanding Comics è un libro s-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-i-o. - fabrizio (biccio) ulisse
Guarda, mo' gli scrivo che io vorrei darglieli pure 900 pounds, ma che al massimo posso stanziare 500 euri... ;) - Matteo Balocco
[Pietro] @Matteo chiediamo sconto comitiva? ;) - Googlisti
gli inglesi non fanno mai sconti, ci ho già provato... :-( - Alberto Mucignat
Forse invece varrebbe davvero la pena di tentare la carta dell'acquisto di gruppo. Gli inglesi saranno anche inglesi, ma le regole del mercato sono sempre quelle. Potere d'acquisto, potere di negoziazione. - Matteo Balocco
Morville mi ha chiamato (procurandosi il numero dal velaio) per sapere se poteva usare una MIA foto della SUA barca nuova. Ma mi sa che è un altro Morville. :P - Eugenio
@matteo provi a fare il sindacalista con un anglosaxon? in bocca al lupo! ;-) - Alberto Mucignat
no. pensavo piuttosto a un acquisto all'ingrosso. sembra davvero così strampalata, come idea? Vuoi dire che non possiamo pensare di tirare su un buon prezzo se riusciamo a formare un gruppo sufficientemente numeroso? - Matteo Balocco
in realtà se sei un figo prendi 100 posti, ti fai fare un prezzo 15-20% in meno e lo rivendi in italia al 10% in meno (magari con annesso pacchetto turistico a londra: albergo, ristorante, pullman e vendita di pentole) - Alberto Mucignat
Ma io mica voglio prendere una quota di rischio d'impresa di clearleft. Voglio solo ottenere la migliore condizione d'acquisto possibile. - Matteo Balocco
sei diabolico ;-) - Alberto Mucignat
Like per Understanding Comics! Comunque anche Moggridge non è proprio l'ultimo, eh! - Luca Mondini
Sì, ma come ho detto McCloud arriva da un mondo completamente diverso e può portare idee e punti di vista freschissimi :) - Kurai (ff)
Vero, vero, Fede! - Luca Mondini

Life at the Feeding Edge » Being dynamic in virtual worlds is a strength and a weakness /by @epredator - http://www.feedingedge.co.uk/blog...
"Second Life and Opensim alike share a particular attribute that is not quite as common to many of the other virtual worlds and games platforms. That attribute (well known to anyone who has been in and looked around) is a completely dynamic and potentially ever changing environment. Creating and moving things on the fly either as a user or through programs and scripts means that any space or event can change almost instantly" - Opensource Obscure from Bookmarklet

Consensus is, you can't remove yourself from a google #wave, you can only trash it or mute it. #wavefail Thx @sinarion @ggatin @otenth
one might say the interface needs a bit of work - SuezanneC Baskerville
Maybe this will be solved. Maybe it's because it's in beta. Maybe it's a bit early to call FAIL? - Opensource Obscure
The #wavefail is kind of silly, we all know it's still in beta. But I searched on google and couldn't find a quick answer to my question, and then searched twitter, and the #wavefail hashtag seems like the best aggregation of what things in wave aren't working or what things people are frustrated with. I included the tag so this bit of info would show up for anyone searching about wave probs even though I think it's too early to call it fail, too. ;) - Fleep Tuque

Dusan Writer’s Metaverse » Linden Lab at War: Virtual Worlds and Human Technology - http://dusanwriter.com/index...
I look at Second Life and I see how a single prim combines with others to make a table, and with more still to make a house, a parcel, a region, a continent and a world. And I can’t help wonder whether code doesn’t have that same propensity towards aggregation, whether our belief in the ubiquity of data (and that concept of “all information wants to be free”) doesn’t in fact disguise another more hidden truth, which is that while the information may have the same sort of granularity as the blessed prim and may come to exist EVERYWHERE, that the code itself leans towards aggregation, meta data, and semantic tags, each of these larger concepts nested within still larger ones until, maybe, we get to the point where we ourselves are granular actors contained within the larger vessel of code. - Opensource Obscure
The war at the Lab isn’t a war between growth and stasis, between a “loose confederation of coders” and a tightly organized bureaucracy. It is the war to remember that the technology is in the service of people, with all their hopes and fears, their ambiguity and endless ability to say maybe. - Opensource Obscure

The auto-retweet function needs a way to a) add comment, and b) add hash tags. At least. And I prefer seeing it in my stream, too.
that's not how they will work, though. - Opensource Obscure

Couldn't they put transmitters on the cars that send the cars positions to control the display of realistic 3D models in realtime? The epredator article suggested it was after the fact. - SuezanneC Baskerville

a little hint at the future of sports broadcasting. This example may have come from the F1 company feed, or been part of the upgrade in racing brought by the Abu Dhabi circuit but it was the sort of thing we need to see more of. The live video (replay) was blended into a rendered 3d model so that camera angles and analysis could be made after the event - Opensource Obscure

Sculpt Blend - Sculptie LOD Tricks - http://robynhuffaker.com/sculptb...
As you already know, sculpted prims switch between three resolutions depending on your camera's distance from them in Second Life. Sometimes the difference in resolution makes such minor differences in the sculpt that you can simply ignore it. However, sometimes the sculpt ends up looking bizarre, and other times you simply need the sculpt to stay at the higher resolution. - Opensource Obscure

Debug Permissions - Second Life Wiki - http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki...
Debug Permissions is a tool which shows you granular attributes of your Second Life items. Permissions have numerous subtleties and with some practice, Debug Permissions can help you figure these out. You should have a firm understanding of next-owner permissions before using Debug Permissions. To view Debug Permissions: Open the Advanced menu and select Debug Permissions. Right-click an object and select Edit. If the General tab in the build tools isn't selected, click it. Now, you'll see what was previously a blank spot has been filled in with additional Permissions - Opensource Obscure

Linden Lab getting more developers. One of them started on Andrew's team (that is, server code) just yesterday.
More devs on Second Life server code is good - according to Andrew, more simulator bugs than usual are piling up right now. - Opensource Obscure

Is the office hours transcript online and if so do you have a link? Who is the new one, and are the others already hired? If they are already hired, what are their names and what departments do they work in, or what title do they have, or what special job duties do they have? How many are there? - SuezanneC Baskerville
Andrew didn't post transcripts yet - I think he plans to do it. No transcripts since months. Unfortunately I don't have any information about what you ask, as Andrew didn't tell much more about this topic. - Opensource Obscure
