An excellent attendance for Bridgend & District Local History Society's visit to Ogmore Castle this evening. Led by Ian Hutchinson there were 29 in the group photo with another turning up a few minutes later making a total of 30. Ian gave a concise history of the castle which went down well with those attending. Although I really shouldn't position myself on the perimeter of a wide-angled photograph, it makes me look much larger than I am in real life!

Magic City Lego Users Group June Meeting
So, below is the picture I shot, I went out in the snow today, but it stopped snowing! But would you believe it, Picnik has a snow feature :D Add some softening, some matting and some vignetting and I like it better, much more wintery :)
I love the snow, so much. This is the most snow we have had in years and we have another week of it forecast. Awesome.
Thats my mum and dog in the distance for your info.
There was a rich supply of user research at WebJunction, and all I had to do was harvest it. I viewed recordings of usability tests, where participants conducted tasks with paper prototypes of the new interface. I interviewed WebJunction employees and subject-matter experts. I looked over the quantitative and qualitative data from a 2007 survey that WebJunction conducted with users. I also tapped into a few other sources, but my favorite was the WebJunction discussion boards. Since WebJunction's initial launch in 2003, users had been voicing opinions and making comments on a variety of topics, such as why they chose to enter their profession, or what they would like to see on WebJunction in the form of services (the persona quotes are pulled directly from the forums).
In order to organize this research into an actionable user-centric decision-making tool, I created personas. Rosa emerged as a primary persona, based on the business needs of my design and audience characteristics I had aggregated.
In addition to my literature research, Todd Zaki Warfel's presentation on data-backed personas at the 2008 IA Summit was extremely informative. Although I wasn't able to attend the Summit, I was creating these personas around the time that podcasts and slide decks from the conference were posted online. Luckily, both aspects of his presentation were accessible, because I found it very helpful.
Elderly users do have problems with computer systems. Tablets are often suggested as superior to conventional desktop computers. They do seem to be. One possible advantage is the directness of interacting with objects on the screen. Also they tend to be cut down OSs and somewhat simpler than desktop equivalents. Which OS? It can be illuminating to watch an elderly user try different tablets. There are really only three choices, iOS, Android and WIndows8. In general iOS does seem to be the simplest, closely followed by Android. Windows8 seems to be relatively complex, with two interfaces in one, and often has very small text and icon sizes. Elderly users often have motor difficulties, problems with touching small targets (so larger tablets may be better), but tablets are also quite heavy, and cause fatigue if not used with stands. Perceptual disabilities can mean elderly users have difficulties in distinguishing targets. Subtle greys look cute but may not be vivid enough for older eyes. Finally cognitive disabilities, problems with short and long term memory may mean tasks are disrupted, and sequences difficult to learn. Metaphors in icons may be relatively meaningless to users. Take your elderly person to one of the computer stores and let them try all the OSs, should be an interesting experience for both of you!

TWITTER users are being asked to #nameourpups as West Midlands Police turns to its social media followers to name a new litter of spaniels.
Nine Springer puppies – the force’s future search specialists – arrived safely at the Dog Unit’s Balsall Common base when mum Grace gave birth in the early hours December 8.
The three boys and six girls make up ‘O’ Litter which means all their names must begin with that letter – and followers of the @WMPolice Twitter feed are, for the first time, being asked what each should be called.
Suggestions using the hashtag #nameourpups must be tweeted in before December 28.
Breed Scheme Manager Dave Raymond, said: “These are the only spaniel pups born through our in-house breed and training scheme this year so it’s an exciting time for us…and we’d like Twitter users to join in the fun by helping come up with names.
“When it comes to naming puppies litters are like hurricanes: we go through the alphabet and each one must have a name beginning with that letter. And these little fellas, and girls, are O litter – so hopefully we’ll receive some novel, interesting O names that the pups can take through their police careers.
“The only other rule is that the name can’t be offensive or in anyway misinterpreted.”
Springer spaniels are trained by West Midlands Police as specialist search dogs – hunting for weapons, drugs, cash, stolen items or explosives – and the evidence they uncover is often crucial in securing court convictions.
The force runs the largest, most successful police dog breed scheme in the UK with more than 80 per cent of all dogs going through the training programme becoming operational. Any that don’t make the grade are sold as working dogs or given to good homes.
It’s also achieved Assured Breeder accreditation by the Kennel Club in recognition of its commitment to dog welfare.
Dave Raymond, added: “Brood bitches are selected for their exemplary search skills, stability, responsiveness and temperament…they have blood and eye tests to make sure they don’t pass on any hereditary conditions.
“Mum Grace was born into the breed scheme in August 2009. This is her second litter and, in line with Kennel Club guidelines, she’ll have no more than four in her lifetime and only one in any 12-month period. In between, she enjoys life at home with volunteers as a family pet.”
O Litter’s dad is West Midlands Police Dog Tom, a five-year-old explosives search specialist.
This session will give participants the toolkit and skills required when conducting user research and testing with children and young people (under the age of 18).
We'll begin with an overview of the guiding principles, best practices and standards for conducting research and testing with minors. Then we'll take participants through practical examples and exercises of how to research and test throughout the stages of game design, as an example, with practical takeaways of tools and techniques that should be considered when designing research and testing projects with children.
CNUG April 2012 Users Group
Get Yourself Kinect-ed
This month we look at how you can build Windows applications that utilize Microsoft Kinect for Windows.
Prior to the regularly scheduled CNUG meeting the Chicago Azure Cloud Users Group and Scott Seely will present "Intro to Windows Azure and Windows Azure Appfabric" at 5:30PM.
Sponsor: Solving IT!
Website: www.solvingit.com/
When: April 18th
Where: Microsoft Downers Grove
3025 Highland Parkway
Downers Grove, IL
Agenda:
5:30PM - Arrival
6:30PM - Food and Beverages
7:00PM - Get Yourself Kinect-ed! - Greg Levenhagen, Skyline Technologies
Abstract:
Kinect development used to mean hacking without any support, but now that the Kinect SDK, Kinect for Windows hardware and commercial support for non-XBOX 360 applications has been released, the full power of the Kinect is unleashed. Come see how to start developing with the Kinect, using its hardware features and what the Kinect SDK provides.

I was running a user test for a client in the Meredith computer lab and used this sign to find the men's room. It makes sense that the men's room would end up being smaller than a closet.
