Busy
By sylvie | June 9, 2010
I’m working this week on various administrivia stuff. I have to collect some signatures to sign off on the technical paper that will bring an end to the virtual worlds project, and apparently I forgot to write my yearly report for 2009 (I blame Thom for not telling me to do it even though he’s retired
). I’ve been fighting with the new PDF form they’re using for the reports. I don’t know if it’s an error on their part or if it’s a Windows/Mac thing, but the text boxes in the form don’t wrap text, and it’s pretty hard to write down your accomplishments if you only have a single line to do it in.
I’ve written to someone to point this problem out (because that’s what an usability person should do), but in the meantime, I may just resort to the old form (which I think was in MS Word format).
I hope to finish all this this week and then get back to reading about usable security next week.
Appended
Just remembered that I also need to add a new program to my Mac for the security project. I need to find someone who will explain to me what it is I’m supposed to do.
