Usability's Last Day
Today I went back to the Usability Week 2004 Conference. The subject today was e-mail usability.
The presentation given by Amy Stover was very informative and gave us a good grounding in the subject matter at hand.
Overall, this week has had it's highs and lows. The high point was today. Definately. Todays presentation spoke directly to me and my work, the low point being Jakobs obsession with graphs, equations, and mathmatical analyses. In addition to that, we've been playing the chase Jakob game all week. He was nowhere to be found except for the 3 x 1.5 hour sessions he did from Monday to Wednesday. We didn't pay for his absence.
I'd still recommend this conference to anyone who wants to learn about usability techniques, but not to those wanting to lend Jakobs ear. He charges US$5,000 p/h for that !
