Stuff to post

Just incase your mental notes fail you (mine regularly doo).

Reminder to put up the Barry Brown paper about mobile phones conextual study.

Fix the http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~comp3505/Lectures/08.MobileIxD.pdf link

Thanks for the review and I feel sorry for the people that didn't make it today.

Thanks for the prompt Robert. My mental notes seldom fail me entirely, but they can sometimes take a long time to kick in :-)

I've now uploaded the two papers I mentioned in class:

Brown & Randell's paper on the design of a context senstitive telephone:

Brown, B., & Randell, R. (2004). Building a context sensitive telephone: Some hopes and pitfalls for context sensitive computing, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 13, 329-345.

and Stefik et al.'s paper about Xerox's Colab, which covers the concept of WYSIWIS:

Stefik, M., Bobrow, D. G., Foster, G., Lanning, S., & Tatar, D. (1987). WYSIWIS revised: early experiences with multiuser interfaces. ACM Transactions on Office Information Systems, 5(2), 147-167.

There was also the audio file of Bruce Sterling talking about/defining Spimes, as well as the other QuickTime content that gets lost when putting up presentations in pdf format (the latter for your information/enjoyment and for completeness' sake).

I've also fixed the link on the timetable page for week 8's slides.

I hope the review turns out to have been useful.

The link to Browns paper seems damaged. When I open it I random letters on the pages and a lot of blank space. Is this my system or is the pdf damaged?

I uploaded whilst on vpn on a s l o w link, so probably something wrong with the pdf as a result. I've just uploaded it again. Please let me know if it continues to misbehave.
