Preboot

I’m sit­ting in the main room of Kedel­hallen watch­ing Thomas fid­dle with his lap­top. We’re ready to start reboot­ing. Yes­ter­day we arrived in the evening, quick­ly checked into the hotel and went into town for a bite. After a bur­ri­to at a dodgy latin tourist trap, we went over to a styl­ish cof­fee bar for some espres­so and sweets. 

Aso, I’ve giv­en my new IXUS 60 a spin yes­ter­day, and am very pleased with it’s per­for­mance. Lat­er I’ll start upload­ing some stuff to Flickr.

Pre­boot is done, let’s get reboot­ing. (Yay!)

Restaurant usability

'U kunt hier ook zitten'

I ran into this curi­ous sign while out for lunch today. A small restau­rant spe­cial­is­ing in pie (vlaai) had these huge let­ters in the win­dow, say­ing: “you can sit here as well”. Obvi­ous­ly, if they made it obvi­ous to poten­tial clients that they had seat­ing, they wouldn’t need the sign – or is it a case of peo­ple not want­i­ng to sit down and have a piece of pie? 

To me, the sign was quite sim­i­lar to those texts in web pages read­ing “click here to …” – always a clear sign of bad usabil­i­ty. Per­haps the pie shop is in need of some user expe­ri­ence consulting?
