Sorry for not posting lengthy and thoughtful insights on Web user experience, but lately there has been a lot of work (as you may follow on my twitter micro-posts, including writing papers, proposals, and pumping a bit of code (more on this in a later post).

Please stay tuned for more posts about the social Web. Lots of stuff happening...

Follow me over here. And feel free to ping me for adding you or just any other reason. Let's see how this experience goes...

Unfortunately, I'm having little to no time to do proper blogging on the past month. This slowdown has been influenced by:

• Finishing a paper for ACM's WWW 2008;


• Improving my methodology for modeling Web Interaction Environments (more on this on a later post);


• Reviewing students' assignments;


• Traveling;


• Helping out on organizing ACM's CIKM 2007;


• Reviewing some stuff for XProc.
  

Apart from these, two or three (as a matter of fact, three) startup projects are being started. They're at different inception stages: some just on the back of my head+some chatting with Daniel, others with Tiago and Bruno.

Too much stuff, too little time on my hands... *sigh*

I've updated a tiny bit of my homepage (www.rlopes.net just in case you've forgot the URL). Since I'm migrating the playground stuff to Google code (see my previous post on this blog about it), I had to replace the infobox with something else.

For coherency purposes, this blog's archive is now displayed side by side with the latest entry, whereas the missing infobox is presenting my lattest scrobblings on last.fm, an online music community/social network. Now you can sneak peek over my musical preferences.

I'm also working on a new blog about writing music, that's being hosted also on last.fm. Currently I'm writing a series about the creation of concept albums. Keep reading it at this location.

Now, back to work on this scientific journal article...

My new home has been launched. Following this blog's trend on titles, it will be the play:ground for my thoughts on Web user experience.

Currently, the play:ground is a simple façade where I present some info about this blog, my latest del.icio.us bookmarks, lastest additions to Flickr, and a small (yet important) box where I'll put links to my experiences on Web user experience (the pun is intended).

Enjoy!

Ok, first of all, forgive me about the semi-pun on Star Wars' A New Hope. This is, in fact, a new hope for me to approach the blogging ecosystem in a gentle way.

As for next posts, well... I'll try to post once a week (no promises though), about my thoughts on Web user experience. Stay tuned!
