Future work
« Older Entries |Coworking
Monday, November 10th, 2008We’re thinking a lot about teleworkers these days. I’m considering that maybe my five-year plan should be concerned with supporting the teleworker. At the moment, this isn’t enough to build a plan on, but Sarah and I are discussing what we could do. Perhaps several small projects instead of one large one? Anyway, still needs […]
Next things to do
Thursday, October 30th, 2008OK, time to take a step back and decide what I need to do next:
Come up with a new idea for my five-year plan (this is starting to feel like getting a good Ph.D. idea!)
Get the questionnaire with Bonnie on the Web (lots of stuff to do on this front, including deciding on the right […]
Shot down
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Well, Thom didn’t like our project idea. Not innovative enough, which, to be honest, was a fair evaluation. I got excited about the project itself but didn’t consider that it wasn’t leading edge enough.
So it’s back to the drawing board. I need to think about where communication technology will be taking us in five years’ […]
Mobile programming
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008For our next project, which we’re discussing at the moment, I would really like to include a mobile application, since there are times when I project that people will need to enter data while away from their computer. I guess we have three choices: build a web site that people can access from their cell […]
We regret to inform you
Monday, October 29th, 2007I hate reading those words in an email, but they’re a common enough occurrence when you do research (although I bet Stephen Hawking never gets one of those). This time, it’s our proposal to the Defense Department people which has been refused. Pity, it would have made for some interesting research.
Thinking about a paper
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007I am thinking of writing a usability paper on a certain type of web site that is used by very specific groups of people. I want to do a comparative study of what is available to these groups. I don’t think anyone has studied this type of web site before, but I need to make […]
Proposal submitted
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007The proposal for the security project has been submitted, ticketed, and numbered. All we can do now is wait.
I think our project idea is good, but of course I’d think that, wouldn’t I Anyway, we’re targeting an area which apparently hasn’t received any coverage by other researchers in the past, and everybody we’ve […]
Finding reviewers is hard
Friday, September 7th, 2007I never realised how difficult it can be to find a good reviewer for a project. Every time I see someone who looks like they would be an expert in what our project is going to be about, my first thought is, wait, shouldn’t we be recruiting this person to work on this project instead?
