re: OOMouse - More buttons for Open Office

Take cover! The next wave of RSI is headed your way!

Seriously: I don't think that this is the way forward. Touch is. And beter UI design too. Even Blender (www.blender.org) is getting better. The less mouse you need in an Office Application the better.

re: Spending time on features that are never used

David Locke — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:02:04 GMT

The pie chart puts numbers to an intuitive conclusion I reached when I put features on a long tail or power curve.

In software products, the most frequent functions will originate from the code framework the vendor uses, rather than the vendor's own code. In fact the hits of the long tail will be accounted for by that code framework.

This acutally means that moving to SaaS as a means of achieving task sublimation on entering the late market is going to be facilitated by the change in platforms and with it changes in the code framework. As an example, on installed apps, you have little recourse to saving files, but with web apps you hardly ever save files. The weg app sublimates the technology used to save files and the tasks required to do so. The hit portion of the use frequency curve is swapped out for another one. Some of the vendor supplied functionality will be impacted and the features along the use frequency curve will be redistributed. If the previous distribution is required, then the vendor has a heuristic for what needs more work.

The use frequency curve can be organized by features, tool tasks, user tasks that aggregate tool tasks, or work accomplishments that aggregate user tasks. The curves will look similar, but reflect a different ordering of the enabling features. Work accomplishment requires some design by the user/users/customer, so the curve would be install specific.

The use frequency curve is a power law curve like the long tail.

New features could use a use frequency curve organized around cognative limits, because cognative efforts induce implicit use costs into the work that constitutes the time to return (TTR). The cognative limit is a real constraint on customer retention, so such a use curve would be a good tool to ensure that a release provides value well under the limits of cognatively induced implicit costs.

Welcome back!

Now all you have to do is learn how to spell "Info Support" again ;-)

The RSS Feed for my blog is:

https://hij2mc.wordpress.com/feed

On some readers, like RSS Bandit, you have to uncheck the option "autodiscover and verify the feed" when you add a description.

I don't see an rss option at wordpress (also not at blogger).
I think having a blog which offers rss feeds is much more useful...

I, and I'm sure all your readers hope your mother's recovery is swift and better than you could expect!

Best of luck with the new company. For the most part, I've been very happy with Wordpress running on Yahoo's small business hosting platform. They have brought my site down about an average of 4 hrs per month, which isn't great, but otherwise have been fine. If you go with them, and need support their # is 1-866-800-8092 for Yahoo! support. Took me a couple hours to find the number via google.

Also, check out wordpress.org - they have a "reccommended hosts" page that lists several other alternatives to yahoo.
