I will be doing a full write up on SWIPR at some point soon. But for now i just like say SWIPR rocks, if your an Information Architect you really should not be without this awesome piece of free software!www.swipr.comJimhttp://theuxsuspects.blogspot.com/2006/10/swipr-dont-leave-home-without-it.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Me)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22132858.post-115443631159089773Tue, 01 Aug 2006 12:43:00 +00002006-08-01T14:56:26.466+02:00I was recently talking to a friend of mine who also works as an Information Architect and he was going crazy talking about a recent project proposal he had seen that had been drawn up by the company he works for. The proposal was for a rewrite of a web application that was already live. Now this project had been estimated and it was huge, with many thousands of man-hours. A large amount of these http://theuxsuspects.blogspot.com/2006/08/can-i-have-some-usability-please.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Me)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22132858.post-115435547770973196Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:41:00 +00002006-07-31T16:19:48.246+02:00So my current thinking on documenting AJAX is that I’m going to have use prototypes. Well my first reaction to this problem was that storyboards would handle this issue very nicely, then I actually put about two seconds of thought into the problem and realised that there could be two or more streams of information / interaction going on at any one time. So within this in mind you can still http://theuxsuspects.blogspot.com/2006/07/interaction-layers-and-ajax.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Me)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22132858.post-115348624401011273Fri, 21 Jul 2006 12:50:00 +00002006-07-31T11:28:30.300+02:00From what I can figure out just showing the states of an AJAX page is not enough and it will leave too much room for error. For example if I only document each physical state of an AJAX page/component on a static Visio page that would then be covered in notes and dotted outlines in different colours to try show what would be going on at any one given moment I really don't think a client and a devhttp://theuxsuspects.blogspot.com/2006/07/information-architecture-deliverables.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Me)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22132858.post-115279983668096070Thu, 13 Jul 2006 14:05:00 +00002006-07-31T11:37:19.136+02:00Web 3.0 by Jeffrey Zeldman For me the best bit has to be: "To you who are toiling over an AJAX- and Ruby-powered social software product, good luck, God bless, and have fun.

In fact i think i have my own way of doing this (all theory).

But so far it really doesn’t help much. Now as a result of this (well that and a number of other reasons) my work, inspiration and general drive are suffering badly.
