Today is the last day in the office, last day for me to manage my work…checking this and that, before leaving the office for couple of days. I’m not going for a full week, just 4-5 days I guess, because still so much thing to do before November is over. Workin’ is something that not gonna last until we decide it to stop it.

Well…I want just to say to all of you.. “Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri, Mohon Maaf Lahir & Batin”. Till we meet again next time.

 

Live from Bangkok

Yea…this is special report straight from the street of Bangkok. Place where is very similar from Indonesia. The traffic jam, the crowded, the face…you name it…Except the food is more much spicy.

But something that bothering me is the way of living for some of their people. We can easily found “a circus” on every corner. Its kind of “culture shock” for me to see how women are expose in there. Gladly its not happened here in Indonesia, because its very difficult to raise a family especially in that kind of environment and social condition. I think, religion is something that hold us together in the right path, I’m not realize until I seen the reality.

Well, every journey have it’s own message…isn’t it…

 

What a Web Should Be?

November 3rd, 2004 | → 0 Comments | Internet |

What do you think about usability in interface design? What is your opinion about web site usability? Should we keep our design as low as we can be? Should we spoil the dumb user and make them proud because they can understand the site that we designed?

Developer/designer that agree with the “What a web should be”, realize that, they have to educate the user, make them get used to the revolution of the internet, get ready to catch up new technology and things on the internet, that grown very fast. Catch up with the unlimited possibilities on the web. Get amazed with all media, navigation, content, site structure that uncommon, cause they really think, that the web is best playground for your creativity and experimenting thing. Web is so unlimited to explore.

Quote from a word by Joshua Davis, “Most studios assume that the average user is an idiot, and they design in a way that everyone remains an idiot. We try to design sites that at least educate the user.”

So, where we have to stand now? ;)
