The 2000 proceedings are apparently for sale http://www.stimdi.se/arrangemang/konf/nordichi2000/proceed.html but even if not, the paper titles and abstracts can serve an archival purpose, and possibly generate some contacts to the authors.

What brought on that move, and more importantly, are you happy where you are? I looked over your department and I thought it looked like a pretty good set of interests for you. As for me, Caroline was interested in finding more colleagues and looked around for a couple of years. Of all places to end up, she found a good position at McGill, about two blocks away from my mother's apartment. Around that time, my mother's health gave out and she died on what would have been my father's 75th birthday. I have kept my position at OCLC and telecommute. Almost no travel and not much on the phone, just a lot of email. I do a lot of the same sort of work, with more time than I can sometimes believe on specialty topics like accessibility and multilingual systems. My French has improved, but I really do not get a lot of chances to speak it. Our son Mark, now 12 and in high school, which starts with 7th grade, has done well, but he was too old at 9 to go into French immersion and had has a tutor to catch up with his classmates in French. George, now 9, is pretty fluent, having gone from kindergarten in Ohio to 100% French immersion in first grade. It's pretty nice to be back in Montreal with family and friends, and it's nice for the kids to be in a more cosmopolitan city. Right after we moved here, I got involved in my 30-year high school reunion, so when people asked "Are you still in touch with friends of your youth?" I had to answer that I was in touch with all of them. I became the reunion webmaster and we cut a CD with about 3000 pictures and scans dating back to nursery school class photos to video from the reunion itself. Never in my life have I been thanked so profusely for my bit twiddling, and it got me started in a range of nostalgic activities, scanning in the past 100 years of my family. I was thanked by SIGCHI for the HCI Bibliography (now with 34,000 bibs) and was given a lifetime service award, which I deferred until CHI 2006, which will be in Montreal next month. Last year's Usability Professional's Association conference was in Montreal during the Jazz Festival, so that was fun. For CHI'2006, I wrote an quirky insider's visitor's guide: http://acm.org/perlman/guide.html Since Lucent's problems, I think John Boyd's career has meandered. Every year or two, I check protologos.com to see if he has struck it big. I have some contact with Srinivas Raghavan every couple of years, and last I heard, he was studying driver distraction for Qualcomm. If you make it up to Montreal, look me up! We have several guest rooms.

Although we are in Montreal, we live close to downtown, and Caroline walks to and from McGill most days. And with me working at home two blocks from one school and a 10 minute walk to the other, we enjoy some of the benefits of small town life. I AM pleased you are doing empirical work, and one of the pleasures of teaching that material was the knowledge that it would -- if conveyed -- last a lifetime, and apply beyond research. I think visualization and especially virtual reality are ripe for empirical work, so good for you. I remember how well you could counterbalance experimental designs. Have you tried sudoku? It's a popular type of puzzle in newspapers, but it's bascially counterbalancing latin squares. My kids like it. |STAT has gained popularity because of today's unixes: linux and Mac OS X. All the programs are turning 25, so they are older than some of their users. I don't use many of the programs these days, not because I don't do any empirical work, but because I can analyse thousands or millions of transactions, so standard errors are tiny. Still, I get a kick of meeting grad students who gawk at the father of dm and anova. I remember seeing a picture of your daughter in 2000, but did not know you had another. Alex is ambiguous, so congratulations on him/her to you and Courtney. With two boys, I've wondered what it would be like to have a girl, but I think that will be a thought experiment for me. I don't recall reading your mail below. It must have been eaten by a spam filter, or just deleted from the hundred a day I get at this address. Sorry! I would have responded if I had read it. Yawn!

An example is this article from Vol. 4, No. 2, p. 85 http://www.springerlink.com/link.asp?id=v4w40x516328llvj The first sentence of the abstract reads, to a sighted person, like this: This paper presents a study investigating how the performance of motion-impaired computer users in "point and click" tasks varies with target distance (A), target width (W), and force-feedback gravity well width (GWW). To a screen reader, the double quotes, which for reasons I do not know, are displayed with images with alt text set to the SGML character names "ldquo" (left double quote) and "rdquo" (right double quote). This paper presents a study investigating how the performance of motion-impaired computer users in ldquo point and click rdquo tasks varies with target distance (A), target width (W), and force-feedback gravity well width (GWW). The display of the abstract can not be resized without turning off stylesheets. I suggest that you ask Springer why they use images for punctuation, and if they feel they must, perhaps request that they use better alt text, such as " or '.

I looked around and I can't find my files for the Help topic we discussed. I'm a little reluctant to commit to a talk when I can't find the paper or even the data on which it is based. And maybe the message "Your work is used so little that you can add lots of bells and whistles and no one needs top worry about performance" would not be a popular one, although the parts on making Help more used might. Still, I would like to find the work. It must have been lost in a move from computer to computer, so I needs to look through some CDs. I could talk about universal usability and design for change. I've done a lot of multilingual work (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and most recently Arabic) since this 2002 paper: http://www.acm.org/~perlman/design4change.pdf and for the STC crowd, it is based on 1986 work presented to SIGDOC on "single-sourcing" user interfaces and documentation: http://www.acm.org/~perlman/multi.html Gary On Thu, 23 Mar 2006, Howard Kiewe wrote: > Hi Gary, > > Great to get to know you a little today.
