After rummaging through my books and papers today while (finally) trying to organize my desk, having just moved in a week and change ago - okay, nearly two weeks ago - I came across an interesting list I had made during the summer. Here it is:

![First week of classes](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
Between partying hard ("like f--- all y'all!", per Fat Joe and R. Kelly) last Friday, being perfectly useless on Saturday, trying to prep myself all Sunday and classes and their attendant adjustments over the last two days, I haven't updated my journal since Thursday. Not much that is journal-worth…
![ReComputing and the Prosumer](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
This is going to be really short and quick, because I've got to catch a train. I wanted to talk about the notion of a prosumer and how ReComputing supports them.

![ReComputing in a Windows World](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
Yesterday I introduced/announced my Project ReComputing initiative. I left off asking the question of how I would make it relevant in a 95% Windows World.

Okay, TickerWatch is done with. No, I wasn't able to complete it before I left Maryland, but who really cares? It was a vanity project, and it got my point across. I sat down with the guy I guess I can call the CTO (relatively smally company) and outlined how it worked, and sent him the sources to …
![Of Crunch and Codeblock](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
Code block - you know, when you sit at the keyboard, IDE open, mind primed and ready to get to work. Code block is a myth. Code block is evidence of insufficient upfront design work. If your design has gone from general guidelines to detailed technical specifics, you won't have code block. The code…
![TickerWatch, further usability considerations](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
The first thing that struck me about the TickerWatch prototype was that I was composing the event/call list incorrectly. I had placed a ListView control on a Form which was supposed to display either the categorized view or the prioritized view based on user setting.
Stupid.
The categorized view is n…

![Mock-ups, early revision](http://www.oluseyi.info/TickerWatch/screenshot1.jpeg)
I was going to try out my GDNet+ web space, but uploading the following screenshots has proven abortive. Consequently, I'm hosting them on my own domain, oluseyi.info, for now.

![Core Competency](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
A while back I decided to shift my "professional focus" away from software engineering. Despite this, I still have the inclinations and habits of a programmer. It's been tough, but I've finally come to terms with my shift and decided on the following:
It's not worth my time to develop my own websit…
![On taking my own medicine](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-16850.png)
As the unlikely reader may or may not be aware, I've been kvetching loudly about usability recently. I also have been designing an application to make process flow easier, more efficient and less prone to error at work by automating all the tedious and repetitive mechanical aspects of the task (mov…
