UX Brighton film night this tuesday

* sorry for the cross posting *

If any of you IXDAers fancy coming to a film night on tuesday (9th June) in
Brighton (UK), you are most welcome.

We've dug up an old copy of "The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces" - it's
a documentary by William H Whyte, a US researcher who carried out some
really interesting observational studies in the early '70s, looking into why
certain city plazas and squares are popular spots, and why others aren't.
Aside from the immediate link to urban planning, there are broader
implications that can be drawn regarding architecture in the digital world

Do you use location-based applications?

I'm a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University studying people's
current usage of location-based applications. If you're interested
in participating in an interview, please read on, or click the link
at the bottom.

We’re conducting research to understand why you use these
applications, how you use them, what you expected from them, and how
you think they could be better. We’d like you to tell us all about
your experience with these applications, and to share any stories,
ideas, or concerns that you have from using them.

Arrival time in a form

I was reflecting on the best way to indicate the arrival time in a
form when you are reserving a room and want to communicate it.

At the moment, I have spotted two main designs:

1. A dropdown list with hour value from 00 to 24

2. Two dropdown lists: the first with 1 to 12 values and the second
with am\pm values

In the first case users would have a longer list, in the second two
interactions would be needed (one, if the default value of the second
dropdown is the most used...)

Do you have any best practice \ reccommendations about this?

thanks

Save and Canvel buttons in popup screen

The position of Save and Cancel is no longer a matter of logic, only
of convention. The best would be to detect which operating system the
visitor is using and place the buttons accordingly.
