text: So with some great feedback and great suggestions from you, I’ve been iterating more on the partition resize screen for Anaconda. I started out by poking around with the visual design of the drag handles, and Robin had the idea to make the space between partitions draggable and to use a model where you only …
  Drag / resize handles
  on April 24, 2012 April 24, 2012
  In my last post about Anaconda’s UX redesign, there were a couple of mockups that featured draggable diagrams for managing space on a disk, allowing you to shrink its partitions as possible: I’ve been thinking about the best way to make the partitions look draggable.

  A Linux user's Nook experience
  on April 3, 2012 April 3, 2012
  About two years ago I first used the Nook app on Android. That was my very first foray into buying digital books. I’ve been trying to pare down my possessions in a manner Leo Babuta and Erin Doland would most certainly approve of over the past couple of years. A love of books doesn’t work …
