We're sponsoring this event at Sussex University next week: "Human-Centred Technology: Designing for Collaborative as well as Individualised Environments".

Calling all WURFL users:

The WURFL project maintainers want to understand more about how you're using the WURFL, so that they can prioritise development effort and make sure they're addressing real-world problems.

To that end I've set up a short (10-question) survey at SurveyMonkey: if you use the WURFL in any capacity, then please do take the time to hop over there and fill it in.

Success/Failure Criteria: "At a breakfast seminar here June 6 on "Factors for IT Project Success and Failure," Prof. June Verner of NICTA (the National Information and Communication Technology institute of Australia) provided a fascinating mix of surprises and predictables related to her subject topic."

Hacknot - All Aboard The Gravy Train: "You just focus on the problems with the old technology, while saying nothing of the problems that will inevitably accompany the new one. The newer option has an image that is unblemished by the harsh light of experience."

Five Worlds of software: "When you read the latest book about Extreme Programming, or one of Steve McConnell's excellent books, or Joel on Software, or Software Development magazine, you see a lot of claims about how to do software development, but you hardly ever see any mention of what kind of development they're talking about, which is unfortunate, because sometimes you need to do things differently in different worlds."
