Hmmm. Just today I've been browsing useIT (a website project for one of my modules requires me to think about usability, and the lecturer loves this guy). It's the website for a guy named Jakob Nielson. He's a usability specialist, meaning he looks at how things could be made better from the users perspective.
Now I'm not sure about what Jakob thinks here, but actually being able to find a useful part of the site often ranks high in the usability stakes for me. Also, did no one ever warn him about colour clashes and bad table designs?!
Jesus... And this is what they consider as the "Guru of Usability"...
Well, this mornin I had a Computing Fundamentals lecture. Was late coz my lift didn't arrive until about five past ten. Oh well, didn't miss that much. Forgot to do the lecture sheet AGAIN! Christ, better do this weeks after I've posted here...
After that I went lookin for my tutor, but I was early so I went with tom to the library. Gave my books back, saw Sophie in there too so I had a chat to her.
I saw my tutor in the bar bout the group presentation with Tom. We're gonna do rugby or something... I dunno. It'll be my whole tutor group of 3 (used to be 8, the rest all dropped off) which is me, Tom and Chris. 15 minute long presentation so it's quite big.
Came home. Showed Tom the mock up of the website n he thought it looked great which is good... He's not into web design so it was kinda like a user's perspective... Kinda. Anyway, I think it works well. Just need content now! But that's not my department... Yet.
Then I had some food, a shower... Bin doing nothing really. Feel a bit shit to be honest. I hate not knowing what to do... Hmmmm.
Sometimes I wish I could control myself better. On the outside, yeah I'm pretty much fine (except for under certain circumstances) but on the inside I'm a mess right now... Who'd of thought I'd feel this way again??? Life is so random... But I've just gotta let go, let what happens happen, and not worry so much about the thoughts and actions of others around me.
That's the plan, anyway... >_<
