Better late than never, and it's not that late. For me, it was as much a relief as a surprise. For whatever reason, I wasn't given much in the way of projects for the past few years (yes, years), and I know I was a pretty expensive employee to have idle. And what work I did do, I felt like no one cared. Gary, tell us what people are doing on FS advanced search, and I'd provide stats and note that there is much more use of expert search, but no one cared. I doubt anyone will ever ask me for work in progress, but I can't just delete it. The apathy over non-English utesting was particularly discouraging. Then there was the departure of Sylvia, who left with a comment (maybe just to me) that she had nothing from her work at OCLC that she could put in her portfolio. Copy that, at least in recent years. So much was "Yes, we will do that in the next system" followed by "What do you mean it's missing?" As I put on my Facebook status, I'm updating my resume, which I have not really done in 17 years, and even then, not seriously since 1988 when I was last on the job market. It's kind of fun, and I'm creating a portfolio of work. Wading through paper copies of my annual reviews is tedious, but a trip down memory lane. A lot of good times. I wonder if telecommuting just ran its course. I became more and more disconnected. Financially, I am set for retirement, although I would prefer that boy #2 go to McGill, at $4000/year, but if he can get into a top 10 place in the US, I'm all in. I am concerned that boy #1, who is very frugal, will have anxiety about the cost of UChicago, but we set aside money for that 20 years ago (today is his 20th birthday). Psychologically (you know, in the sense that we are both NOT that kind of psychologist), I am not sure if I am ready. I am certainly in no rush to get a job, but there are some prospects that I think I have to follow up on ASAP. I am very keen on enjoying the summer in Montreal, which is consistently 15 degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler than Columbus. Picture me at the Jazz Festival next month, living off my severance. By the fall, I might get into the game, more likely consulting or a company than anything else. I dont' see myself going back into academia, but I have thought anout working for various non-profits. Maybe I'll look for a head hunter. Caroline is chomping at the bit. She jumped into action with a list of tasks for me. I'll see if that gets stale, but for now, she is asking me to do things that we both have wanted done for a long time. And she's very busy right now, conjuring fortune and fame, so I don't mind making her life easier. Anyway, it was a great run at OCLC, and I wish everyone well. It was nice to leave on a high note, if you can call "contributing 'opportunities for improvement' to an accessibility utest" a high note. But I know that YOU know that it's a high note, unless none of the "opportunities" are taken, but that couldn't happen, could it? director@hcibib.org works, as does perlman@acm.org. My personal email is garyperlman@yahoo.com, but I think I'll be moving my professional email to gary@perlman.ca, being Canadian and Perlman and such. I must have dozens of web presences, dutifully reserving my name on every service. Best wishes, Gary On Mon, 3 Jun 2013, Prasse,Mike wrote: > Hi Gary - > > How are you doing?

If you do nothing else, get headings put in. Design them system-wide. Use CSS to place them offscreen if they cause any clutter. I think that headings will give John a strategy he can exploit (like going to the data table in old FS) which is how he seems to work - don't know if it applies to others, which is why we test more than one user. Ah the listserv. I am pretty sure I made you an owner. Check this way: mail to listserv@oclc.org in the body rev ui and you'll get the header and who's subscribed. Look for a field that has something to do with approval. You can make yourself the primary owner, but I forget how to update the header. Listserv has an interactive interface that will make it pretty easy. There is no password for the list, just passwords for people, and it's pretty easy to set that. Go to the UI list archive, which is noted in every message, or use this link to the chi-announcements archive to get there: http://listserv.acm.org/scripts/wa-ACMLPX.exe?A0=CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS Actually, that url looks like it has a special script, but something like: http://listserv.oclc.org/scripts/wa.exe?A0=UI might work. After you are set up as moderator, you'll get postings and approve messages by clicking a link. Not much traffic, as you know, but being the moderator lets you ask responders if they really wanted to mail to everyone, or just help people with their subscriptions, e.g., mail listserv@oclc.org add ui smithj@oclc.org John Smith del ui perlman@oclc del ui perlman@turing.acm.org del ui perlman@acm.org Mark, 20, is boy #1. George, 16, is boy #2 and graduates from HS this month. Mark seems to have stopped at 6'3.5", and Geo is content at a plateau at 6'2", but the predictive baby charts pegged him at an inch taller than Mark. That gets inconvenient.

While any messages sent to the list need to be approved by you, there is an exception: messages posted by the list moderator. I could see the UI choice going either way, but listserv has chosen to auto-approve any messages from the list moderator (or owner, I am not sure). So you need to be a little extra careful when you post to the list. You also control the message at the end of all posted messages, which now has a link to the list archive. Changing that appendage is possible, but mysterious (like much of listserv). Doing nothing is probably a good choice.

I welcome the idea of helping with an article on the bibliography. It's coming up on 15 years since such an article has been done: http://hcibib.org/search:bookmark=J.INTER.6.2.32 Frankly, with services suh as DBLP and the ACM Digital Library, I wonder if the HCI Bibliography is worth the effort. Coincidentally, I just today released a conference in India: http://hcibib.org/IITM13 a conference that does not appear in DBLP or the ACM DL, at least not as I write this. The HCI Bibliography tried to provide a showcase for all HCI work, placing less well-known work on the same level as the top publications. The same is the case even within a conference proceeding, where keynote addresses are in the results with poster presentations. Still, as the HCI Bibliography approaches 100,000 records (it is 92,498 today), I wonder if it is worthwhile for me to be the one to hunt down assorted international proceedings and journals that are missing from other resources. I wish I had some nice displays to show you, but alas, I am not a graphic designer. To be candid, I also assume that people searching hcibib.org have a high degree of sophistication, or they would not be able to appreciate much content in the database. That said, here are some points of interest: Table of journals volumes: http://hcibib.org/journals Table of conference proceedings: http://hcibib.org/confer Publication dates for the database, showing the dramatic growth in conference proceedings: http://hcibib.org/pubdates Top authors, showing pink and red for stronger years, lets you pick out rising stars and award-winning authors: http://hcibib.org/authors In many ways, the most important page shows prepared searches that integrate knowledge of the database and of the search service: http://hcibib.org/hot-topics The faceted results show subjects, authors, dates, sources, and types of publications. I've been meaning to show a tag cloud display of these facets, but have not finished the code, which was used to make the background display for the Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/HCIBibliography I hope that is useful to you...

From my position as director of the HCI Bibliography, I don't have any big ideas to suggest, but I do have some small quibbles I could share, if you want them. These range from the timeliness of the appearance of proceedings in the ACM DL, to the errors I find in the ACM DL when importing records into the HCIBIB database. With very few exceptions, such as the missing 1000 pages in the CHI'13 proceedings (now corrected), I have not thought it worthwhile to pass on any info, but I thought I'd make the offer. If you accept and I send you suggestions that you do not want to use, I will understand, even if you berate me for being a picayune metadata fanatic, although I could argue that there is a role for the type in digital libraries.

Campo Dear Miguel, I made changes for compatibility last March, I I think you are using the latest version. I don't know anything about compiling on the Mac, but I ignored the warnings and focused on errors: anova.c:221:4: error: non-void function 'sortnames' should return a value calc.y:420:3: error: non-void function 'process' should return a value calc.y:498:4: error: non-void function 'control' should return a value calc.y:501:4: error: non-void function 'control' should return a value calc.y:506:4: error: non-void function 'control' should return a value calc.y:544:4: error: non-void function 'control' should return a value calc.y:626:3: error: non-void function 'ptree' should return a value calc.y:630:3: error: non-void function 'ptree' should return a value calc.y:638:3: error: non-void function 'ptree' should return a value calc.y:653:38: error: non-void function 'ptree' should return a value calc.y:666:4: error: non-void function 'ptree' should return a value contab.c:190:3: error: non-void function 'chisq2' should return a value mdmat.c:103:4: error: non-void function 'sortnames' should return a value desc.c:94:3: error: non-void function 'initial' should return a value dm.y:1060:20: error: non-void function 'ptree' should return a value oneway.c:284:3: error: non-void function 'ftable' should return a value oneway.c:290:3: error: non-void function 'ftable' should return a value oneway.c:341:3: error: non-void function 'doplot' should return a value rankind.c:280:3: error: non-void function 'domedian' should return a value rankind.c:323:3: error: non-void function 'domannwhitney' should return a value rankind.c:366:3: error: non-void function 'dokruskalwallice' should return a chitest.c:64:3: error: non-void function 'chitest' should return a value chitest.c:70:3: error: non-void function 'chitest' should return a value rankrel.c:351:3: error: non-void function 'dowilcoxon' should return a value rankrel.c:460:3: error: non-void function 'dospearman' should return a value barplot.c:127:14: error: non-void function 'nlabel' should return a value Maybe the change to try is to declare the above "functions" as void. I'd try it with desc.c as it is a simpler program than most. void initial (argc, argv) int argc; char **argv; If that works, then you could try the others. Note that any changes for dm.y or calc.y must actually be made in dm.c and calc.c. Good luck! Please let me know if that helps and I will make changes to help others in the future.

Also, I have lost access to my work, my review with it. I think it would be a lot faster the second time around, but I don't think that I can get to it in the next few weeks. I would need to request the paper and the papers reviewed. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience.
