"...Mr. Nielsen's..."

You are the second or third person to do this. His name is Jakob Nielsen, Ph.D. or perhaps Dr. Nielsen. Not a huge deal, but I think he deserves the title.

On another note, I interviewed Jakob about 7 or 8 months ago: Web Usability: Past, Present, and Future. There's some good stuff in there that he doesn't really cover here.

I had a *really* bad experience about 2 months ago. It made me angry enough to write a report and post it on my site. Basically my hosting provider killed my site without explantion, they "lost" the back ups and all my scripts, and their customer service sucked completely. My site was down for three days. Argh! If you're interest in the full "report", here it is...

Hold on there. Realize one thing. We got all the content of the interview. I don't believe that we *missed* anything here. I'd bet that all the questions and all the answers are there. So, you get all the meat. The other information in the interview was due to the fact that the interviewer had to wait so long for the information. He took the opportunity to gather more information and add a personal twist.

Botton line is that the whole interview, meat and guts included, is there. It just took 10 years and a day for Dr. Hawkings to get his answers out. Remember, the the interview took four hours.

Interviews with Usability and Web Design Gurus

They don't need help with *Linux* per se, they need help with Redhat's Distribution of Linux. Offering help is interesting here when you think about it. Don't companies charge big bucks for this advice? Further, don't they make a living by providing this advice and support? Are we stealing business from our consulting brothers? ;-)

But seriously, while I'm a RedHat fan, I wonder if the request would have been more appropriate if they were looking for *general* Linux advice.

I did an interview with Scott Wright, Webmaster and Primary Caretaker of the Typing Injury FAQ.

He answered these questions:
* What is the Typing Injury FAQ? What is your role?
* What are Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs)?
* What are the symptoms or signs of injury?
* What are the common causes or injury risks of RSIs?
* How can injuries be avoided? What are the best preventative measures?
* Are there special RSI considerations for Web users?
* How is Web design related to RSIs? For example, can Web sites be better designed to prevent RSIs?
