Hi Guys!

i'm writing a thesis on "the user-centerd desktop".
as part of the thesis i'm doing a prototype too.

this is something i really longed to do for a long time and am now about to=
=20
start. since i'm under a tight schedule and am not too good a programmer wi=
th=20
not too much experience it ain't gonna be something big.

but anyway. read some boox. surfed around.
found the plasma project (plasma.kde.org). xinf.org (xinf.org). screenweave=
r=20
hx (http://haxe.org/swhx). of course there is superkaramba ...

tend to doing it in haxe (eclihaxe + screenweaver hx) ... pretty sure about=
=20
that since the only language i'm really fluent in is actionscript and haxe =
is=20
not far from it (wanted to do it in flex before ... but prefer haxe since=20
it's all open source)

did some research on hci (designing interactions) ... am going to do empiri=
cal=20
user research .... non-technical-useres ..
am doing some research on the piling metapher and lifestreams & co at the m=
om.

bumptop by the way with it's piling metaphor is really something very=20
appealing and those guys with their thesis did exactly what i'm going to do=
=2E=20
(www.bumptop.com)

well, i'm not exactly sure what i wanna say or question with this, but hey,=
=20
found out about this mailing list and thought - hey, sounds great, give it =
a=20
shot.

so if you got any ideas, proposals, whatever, here i am

Cya,

=2D-=20
