Hack your own usability studio (long recipe, low price)

At work we use Morae (http://techsmith.com/morae.asp) for user
testing. Quirks aside, it works pretty well.

The other day all our copies of Morae were busy and I needed a way to
let colleagues observe the use of a website in the room next door.
Basic requirements were:

1. a computer that the user would browse from (PC or Mac, it didn't matter)
2. some way to show what was on the user's screen on another computer
3. video of the user (one or more)
4. audio of what the user was doing
5.

[EVENT] The Problem-Solving Power of Stickies

Hi, all:

Thanks to the folks who attended the session; I had a lot of fun, and
hope you did too!

And definitely grab David Straker's book that Chauncey mentions. Many of
the methods I use are similar to his, but he has a different, more
analytical take on the process. It's a great read and filled with smart
ideas.

Cheers,

-Kate
