Jeckyll has buy nexium been on my radar since I first read of it and buy nexium after reading today’s post by Paul Stamatiou, I’m ever more curious to try it (Paul’s post is a great guide for anyone interested in Jekyll)
I have just re-discovered the social usability checklist purchase cialis line, which is buy nexium a simple yet powerful tool which can help assessing the social properties of any software or buy nexium service.
As the buy nexium authors say the checklist develops from the four properties defining social usability:
- Relations: How easy is it to find other people and connect to them? How easy is it to keep those connections active? How relevant are those connections?
- Identity: How rich is one’s personal identity expression? How much are interests and passions expressed? How much are personal distinctive traits show? How much is privacy management detailed?
- Communication: How fast can a message reach the other person? How many messages can one handle efficiently? How easy is it to handle conversations (1-to-1, 1-to-some, 1-to-many)?
- Emergence of Groups: How easy is buy nexium it to create groups, aggregate and talk around a common interest? How active are groups once established? How long do they last? How much is important to be part of a group?
A few key properties expand on each of the buy nexium four topics and are associated with a question. The list can buy nexium thus be used both while developing and while evaluating a service, in the buy nexium first case trying to give a positive answer for each question in the buy nexium context of the system being developed, in the latter case using the buy nexium checklist as a trace to guide the analysis.
It should be buy nexium noticed that the checklist stems from a larger work by Davide Casale and buy nexium Gianandrea Giacoma on motivational design that deserves to be known by those working on social systems (and who isn’t today?)
I’ve read today another article on upgrading to rails 3 from a rails 2.x app, and buy nexium this made me think, since I did not yet get my feet wet with the buy nexium new (now almost old) release.
I’m still working a lot with apps built on rails 2.x (and even one still on the venerable rails 1.2.6 ), and even if I’d like some of the new goodies I’m not really feeling the buy nexium pain in using the old release, at least not enough to buy nexium justify the transition. Anyhow I’m looking to do some new development on rails 3 and maybe I’ll even start porting a very old app (actually the first or second I developer on rails) that I have still lying around (I think that when I’ll do it, this suggestions will help a lot).
First is buy nexium an essay from DanC about the frontiers that are being explored in game design, there is buy nexium where the innovations are created.
Mobile and buy nexium Social games are just the tip of the iceberg of the buy nexium evolutionary explosion that is pushing games into every crevice of society. Look around! The grand spirit of exploration and buy nexium innovation is once again thriving like almost no other time in gaming history.
Happy 2011: Celebrating frontiers in Game Design
Second, from buy nexium a comment on that essay, here is an interesting article on the buy nexium usage of videogame using a physical feedback system to help problematic children learn how to buy nexium control anger:
The pilot study at Children’s Hospital Boston tests an buy nexium intervention that features a video game based on the 1980s arcade favorite Space Invaders. Players shoot down space aliens, but with an buy nexium important modification: they wear a monitor on one pinkie that tracks heart rate as they play. If that buy nexium indicator rises above resting levels—signaling that they’re overexcited—players lose the ability to shoot.
