I have been writing a script for the Ellie's Log Website usability test. Steve Krug's book has given me the basic layout, but I find it a little difficult to find the right word choice for our audience. Half of the tests will be children from ages 9 to 12, and the other half will be adults (preferably teachers).

Once my script is finished, which should be this coming Tuesday, I hope to quickly have our first round of tests underway. From what Margaret has told me, it looks like most (if not all) of the tests will be done in the conference room. We will have the essentials and nothing else for the test. I plan to be as efficient as possible, and to help the test subject feel comfortable.

I have been working more and more in the fourth floor rotunda. I do appreciate my little cubicle space in the office, but it is nice to feel the warmth of the sun.

I will be visiting Seaside one last time this summer. Our pugs, Thor and Malcolm have passed away. We will be burying them underneath the tiny Maple Tree, a tree that has been soaked by their urine. Perhaps that is too much information, but I think they will like that spot. It is odd not having them around.

Fall is slowly, but surely, approaching Corvallis. I am enjoying the heat but a part of me is ready to see brown leaves and pumpkins.
