    I maintail a page of various GUI mechanisms and visualizations Ive seen, mostly around the information security space. When is it that people are going to realise that cool graphics are not about getting the most out of the computer, visual queues and visualization should be able getting the most out of the human operator of the system. http://www.tauceti.org/research.html

  2. Collection of interesting visualization samples by nickh01uk · · Score: 1 · on With Linux Clusters, Seeing Is Believing

    There are a bunch of different viz techniques listed on http://www.tauceti.org/research.html#vhere.

  3. Re:"one man's malicious traffic" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting · on A Visual History of Spam

    There is another example of one man's visual SPAM reporting here along with a bunch of other interesting visualisation techniques.

  5. Other innovative visualizations by nickh01uk · · Score: 1 · on Visualizing Stories On Current Events With Newsmap

    I've collected a few interesting forms of visualization, and introduced them via a semi-rant about lack of user interface innovation here. Nick.

  6. Re:this helps prove... by nickh01uk · · Score: 2, Interesting · on The World of Virus Writers
    Does anyone else think that viruses and worms will take on a more 'political' slant? Or at least more focused in their intent. The original WANK worm claimed an anti nuclear motivation, then came Bugbear and its list of banks, MyDoom brought payback for SCO and Microsoft... I'm quite surprised we have not yet seen a 'Jihad', 'anti globalisation' or 'green' worm or virus attack so far. Any group that sometimes takes direct action perhaps.

    I've been working on a presentation discussing this here (warning 500Kb powerpoint!).

    My money is on the anti-global guys stepping up first.

    Physical objects given some 'greater meaning' by way of computing power isn't new, I remember reading about Durrell Bishop's Marble Answering Machine (instructions) about 10 years ago. Needless to say I'm still waiting to see it in the shops :-)

    With the low cost of wireless electronics and broadband I expect we will see a lot more of these gadgets... 99% of which you can be sure will be pointless junk. I keep a page myself on data visualisation techniques and hope that if these kind of devices proliferate we get to see some variety!

    Remember those T-shirts that inform you that you need a shower by changing colour as you sweat?
