Predicting the next 5,000 days of the web 预测今后五〇 〇 〇天网站
November 3rd, 2008 2008年11月3日It is difficult to believe that the web has become such an integral part of our society within the relatively short space of 5,000 days.很难相信，网络已经成为一个组成部分，我们的社会在相对较短5000天。 Since its inception in 1991 we have become increasingly dependant on it and still the technology is snowballing at a colossal rate.自成立以来于1991年，我们已经越来越依赖于它的技术仍然是滚雪球在一个巨大的利率。

Questionnaire Design 问卷设计
October 28th, 2008 2008年10月28日I have been developing a series of questionnaires for my PhD and it has proved to be more time consuming than I thought it would be.我已经制定一系列的调查问卷我的博士学位，并已被证明是消耗更多的时间比我想象会。
I have to devise a different set of questions for each group to be targeted, students, staff, web managers, industry etc. This has been a complex process!我必须制定一套不同的问题，每个小组将有针对性的，学生，工作人员，网络管理人员，工业等，这是一个复杂的过程！ I thought I would try to get a response from the students first so if any of you are studying art at Uni and are willing to take 5mins out for me I will be posting my questionnaire online ASAP, I will let you know when it has been made live.我想尝试的答复学生首先，如果你的任何学习艺术大学，并愿意采取5mins了我，我将张贴我的问卷在线ASAP的，我将让你知道什么时候已取得生活。

Nanny State? 保姆国家吗？
October 17th, 2008 2008年十月十七日Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has proposed legislation which would give the security services the power to amass a giant database of all emails and phone calls in the UK.杰葵内政大臣史密斯提出了立法会保安事务的权力，聚敛一个巨大的资料库，记录所有的电子邮件和电话在英国。 Emotive topics like terrorism, murder, child abuse etc. have been bandied about to justify this initiative and while Smith defends the proposed action with the claim that,情绪议题恐怖主义，谋杀，虐待儿童等，已经bandied有关证明这一倡议，而史密斯捍卫提议采取的行动的说法，
“Communications data - that is, data about calls, such as the location and identity of the caller, not the content of the calls themselves - is used as important evidence in 95% of serious crime cases and in almost all security service operations since 2004.” “通信数据-也就是说，数据的要求，如位置和身份的来电者，而不是内容本身的要求-作为重要的证据，9 5 ％的严重犯罪案件，在几乎所有的安全服务业务自2 0 04年以来， “ 。

the proposal is still viewed by many as an infringement of civil liberties.该提案仍然是被许多人视为侵犯了公民自由。 Emailing is synonymous with our culture in the 21st century and it is ironic that the technology which has created this situation has undoubtedly also created its own macabre element but does this minority aspect vindicate mass intrusion?邮寄就是我们的文化在21世纪，它具有讽刺意味的是，这种技术创造了这一局面无疑也创造了自己可怕的因素，而这方面维护少数民族大规模入侵？ I would be interested to know what you think.我想有兴趣知道你的想法。

Design Timeline 设计时间
October 17th, 2008 2008年十月十七日I had considered creating a flash timeline to illustrate some aspects of my research for my PhD but then I came across the ‘Open History Timeline’ which was created for ‘ A Decade of Web Design’ international conference which took place in Amsterdam Jan 2005.我曾经考虑建立一个闪光的时间表，说明某些方面的研究对我国博士生但后来我遇到了'开放的历史大事记，这是创建的' 十年网页设计的国际会议发生在阿姆斯特丹2005年1月。 The ‘webdesign timeline’ is still available online.在'网页设计时间'仍然是网上提供。
The open source software used to build this time line is available for download and would appear to be particularly suitable for my project.开源软件用于建设这个时间线可以下载，并似乎是特别适合我的项目。 It is simple and easy to use, is aesthetically pleasing and perhaps more importantly incorporates a collaborative element.这是简单易用，是美观也许更重要的包含了协作内容。
I am quite excited at the prospect of activating my own timeline and will keep you posted as I progress.我很兴奋的前景激活我自己的时间，并会及时向大家发布我的进步。
