#Person1#: Excuse me mam, can you tell me how to get to Son College? I'm walking.

peasant: I knew god once. This is what my years of devotion got me. Starving and closer to death every day, questioning the point of it all.
person: Quarrel less over the material my child, faith is and always will be the only thing you need.
peasant: Faith may keep the spirit strong but only food can keep the body strong. I'm not surprised you don't understand.

Industrial Designer: And so my personal preferences I I just think we need sorta big energy source that will not die out perhaps some sort of rechargeable battery or a battery dock you could place it in so it would constantly be charged so you would not have to be worrying about it running out of batteries and not changing channels for you a wide range senderreceiver so that you can hit the buttons from basically anywhere in the room and the channelll still be changed also definitely a userfriendly interface and I think we have all sort of mentioned adding a a locating device on it so when it does get stuck under the couch cushions as they inevitably do you can find them easily And that is pretty much it
Project Manager: it seems seems to me there are a number of fundamental decisions to make before we I think your point about the the big energy source is a very valid one I do not suppose we have got any statistics on the the life expectancy of remote controls particularly sort of independent ones given you know the number of things you buy these days which you know have a a a lithium whatever battery in that is you know never needs replacing perhaps we should have the the disposable remote control you know one some sort of typical usage You know the the the battery will last know five ten years By which time I mean when alls said and done the digital television will be taking over in that time scale p perhaps we should know reduce the you know the sort of moving parts even more by not even having a battery compartment and
Industrial Designer: Just having one that is guaranteed to last five to ten years ?
Project Manager: and if if anybody manages to run it down we will we will give them a new one it is you know it is what it saves in cost and you know there there is a well it is actually a marketing gimmick I mean it is hardly a gimmick it is it is totally practical so I th think you know the idea of a rechargeable one is unless you are really high tech and it sort of just recharges itself if it is n by you know magnetic waves or whatever if if it
Marketing: It could have like know like a cordless phone in your house it s got like a base that sits there all the time
Project Manager: Are are people really going to use it though ?
User Interface: I would think that people might forget
Project Manager: I I th I think
User Interface: I mean people forget to put their cordless phones back on there
Project Manager: I mean I know that somei times my my wife goes out in the morning and says oh I should have put the phone on to charge and then then she is had those for so long that if she has not worked that out by now
Industrial Designer: Because I only remember to charge my cell phone when battery dies And that is pretty much
Project Manager: When it wh when it is died is a problem
Industrial Designer: when it turns itself off that is when I plug it in
Project Manager: what so wh what what do we think about the the the permanent mm battery ?
Industrial Designer: think that is a good idea
Project Manager: Is the you know we we we are really going for the ultimate in ex external simplicity here you know cut cost within the manufacturing and you know if we have a high tech interior then then that that sh may well be cost effective
User Interface: Do they make batteries that last that long ?
Project Manager: I mean th th certainly I can not think of anything off the s top of my head
Industrial Designer: They usually have the little light source
Project Manager: but there are certainly things that you buy I mean calculators for example
Industrial Designer: I do not know what the heck they are called
User Interface: they have that little solar
Project Manager: I mean th th but there are battery ones that are you know sort of permanently sealed In in fact I would
Industrial Designer: Most of them do not they have sort of a combination of the two like when there is light they will work off the light | Industrial Designer initially proposed to have rechargeable energy sources and then suggested a combination of both solar and conventional batteries. It means that if there's enough light, then it's using the light, but when it is dark, then the battery is used. |

Project Manager: Gabriel Let us let us let us hear from you about the it is the interface
User Interface: Alright Alright some of what I have to say ties into what Catherine was just talking about so I am continuing with the user interface topic And so basically I consulted with our manufacturing division It sounded like Catherine was also speaking with them I also took Reissas marketing findings from the last meeting into consideration because I think that is that is crucial as far as what keys we are going to inc inclu what buttons we are going to include and and how they are laid out and so the manufacturing division sent some some samples of of interface components that we might be interested in using that have been used in other products like the coffee machine So I already mentioned the speech recognition interface I guess we we basically vetoed that idea It is it is pointless it is just a sample sensor sample output It would just be probably the most expensive part of our remote without any actual interesting functionality as far as operating the TV so they they also give the they they suggested the idea of using a spinning wheel like you use on the side of an MP three player like iPod so we have already addressed that and I think that would actually be worse for something like RSI I mean you got that thumb movement that you are constantly doing and I I have a feeling that we are interested in in something more general but they suggested you know going i a little bit into a a niche like either gearing our remote towards kids where you could have lot of colours the keys might be you know funny or or or something for the elderly where the remotes very large and the buttons are very large and there is only a few buttons But you know we can we can discuss this but it sounded like from our last meeting we really wanted something that was general but done well So the key layout and design are really crucial You do not want you want people to be able to quickly access the buttons that they use a lot without always pressing the wrong one And I did not mention that we need a power button in our last I can give you an example here of good layout and bad layout from our manufacturing department So this would be an example of bad layout where you have volume up and volume down but they have a V on both of them so it is sort of confusing for the user this is the example of the giant remote that is impossible to lose
Project Manager: Do we have an example of a good one ? Brilliant
User Interface: And for something for kids And so I th I think my personal preferences of we have all kind of talked about and seemed to be on the same page so I was against the speech recognition and against going towards anything in in a niche sense I think it should be more general I did not I did not think the spinningwheel or the LC display were were crucial for us And that is it for me
Project Manager: Well let us so w what are our definite decisions on this then as a team ? The The the the interface type we are going for
User Interface: So we are we are not going to have any sort of display I think
Project Manager: Just the simple s simple straight set of buttons
User Interface: So it is just going to be just going to be pushbuttons I think we shall have a limited number of buttons ideally I mean a a power channel up channel down volume up volume down and a numerical keypad And some sort of it will either have a a lock button like we mentioned or or a cover or something like that I guess it is to the point where we need to decide about that Well now that we have decided on our
Project Manager: Are we going to hav hav an are we d have we decided on whether w we are going to s supplement it with anything you know colours or particular gimmicky bits to it we are not we are just going to go for something
User Interface: it seems like we would not want to make it too busy and too sort of gaudy but I would say mayb maybe a couple of colours like like a black with with yellow and somewhere like maybe the RR can be yellow or something like that
Project Manager: Okeydokey I do not have any other questions on this Let us move over to
User Interface: I I guess the fact also that we are having a rubber case would prevent us from having the cover function that we thought of before I mean because s so if we want to have a lock of some sort it would have to be a button But I think that should be I mean I can speak with the button department but I think that it should be easy to have a button that just prevents prevents the other the other buttons from operating
Project Manager: the button that just does that
User Interface: So that should be simple | User Interface made a presentation on buttons the control should include and on the layout of the buttons. The team vetoed the idea of the speech recognition interface which is expensive and unnecessary. At last the team decided not to have any sort of display, but a simple straight set of push-buttons, with a power, channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down, a numerical keypad, and a lock button or a cover. Then they discussed some supplements like colours or particular gimmicky bits. User Interface proposed the utilization of a couple of colours like black and yellow, with special parts like the RR logo in yellow. User Interface suggested having a rubber case for safety reasons. |

a rat chews on a dropped hymnbook: Well . . . if you go down that sewer tunnel, keep on going strait past the giant pile of feces. Then, take a left past the troll - he likes to sleep mostly. There are some giant rats nearby as well, but they usually get killed by young adventurers. Just a bit further and you will find the corpse. He's a bit bloated and wearing a red robe.
snakes: A red robe, you say... He may have many riches to be had! How is the troll? Will he be a problem?

cat: *slurp* Just having a snack. And you are far too good a blacksmith to be careless enough to hurt me while you are working.
blacksmith: Well I don't speak for just myself, there are others down here learning the trade.
cat: That is why I am closer to you and not them. Also, I like this window. It has a great view down below, where I can scout out places to catch food.
blacksmith: I suppose that is logical. I never realized it was such a good vantage point for you here.
cat: What is it you are making now?
blacksmith: Ohh, quite a piece! A military officer requested a 5 foot claymore sword.
cat: Ever made armor for a cat before?
blacksmith: Um, no, but today could be the day!
cat: I say that because the dog has been chasing me of late
blacksmith: Ah, well what specs would be best for that? Lightweight but still strong?
cat: lightweight, flexible would be great
blacksmith: Hmm I'd probably start with a titanium alloy for this job then.
