> Mikko you need to start talking to me! > Thanks, > James I've been posting to the web-list, just to keep things clearer, as there is so much other stuff going on at the dev-list. Besides, I'm not even subscribed to other lists than web and general.. So check the web-dev if you have something to ask. :) -mikko

Fwd: [ros-web] Re: Interface Team

I just noticed that this was sent to ros-web only. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mikko Tikkanen <mikko.tikkanen(a)gmail.com> Date: May 16, 2005 10:48 PM Subject: [ros-web] Re: Interface Team To: ros-web(a)reactos.com Greetings. I am the other half of Jason's "list", the half that (usually) responds to the name Mikko. Something about me: I've seen 25 summers, so far. (a.k.a I'm 25-years old ;) This summer would be my 26th. Usually my interests include badminton, rollerskating, bandy, gentle loving of my car (My one and only honey at the time. Hey, at least she's cheaper than a woman ;), movies, programming, reading (Usually different articles of various topics. Specially anything regarding of science.) and some sort of graphics. I've studied something that goes like this: Special-vocational degree, developing network solutions. (Level of studies ranging from quite basic to university level) Basically it includes designing and developing specified tools that utilize network in some way. Tools used included C/C++, Java/JavaScript, PHP. Though I have worked with VisualBasic, ASP, TCL and some other languages. Nowdays I mostly work basically with PHP and SQL of some sort. (Usually with MySQL, Postgre or Oracle) +xhtml & css Oh, and of course there is High school. Also, at the fall I'm hoping to get to this school which teaches interactivity designing. Basically everything ranging from physical UI design to game-, concept- or web design. However, my aim would to specialize in UI design. (And, of course, ultimately have my own company. 8) I've already cleared my way to last ~30 persons, now it's 30% change of getting in. 26th day are final exams and interviews for the school and after that it's a months wait and results should be here. Keep your thumbs up! :) Next to UI related stuff. I've worked, in some way or another, with www-applications for about 6-8 years. Also I like to educate myself so I've taken some courses and trainings on it. Also, I was in charge of design, production and maintaining of information gathering and analysis tools at Inmet Mining, Pyhäsalmi mine Oy. Europe's deepest metal ore mine and most technologically advanced mine in the world. Some of those tools are used by miners who didn't have very much experience with computers. Hence they needed to be easy to use yet able to utilize enough power, for experienced user, to dig out every last piece of information needed, regarding of i.e. certain ore loading machine. At my current job (head of sales, at paper. usually I lots of other things too) I've created complete network-based software for the shop's check-out. It also includes real time accounting for store, billing and web-shop. Of course all this is wrapped to single user interface. Which, sadly, has as good UI as I would like but there are other matters which keep me busy from re-creating the whole system. I've always been interested of UI design and have read pretty much everything I've come across with. Of course, depending of the source. ;) When designing something I've always tried position myself as the regular user and tried to forget all the "invisible" little helpers that I am used to, since regular user usually doesn't have a clue. Moms and dads actually make pretty good user test subjects as they don't use computers that much but know their way around. ;) I've also made initial design for a game called Notrium. Lately I've made some initial mockups for ROS. For software library: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/software_library_v2.jpg And for ROS start menu: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/start_menu.jpg Hmm. This turned to another rant, it seems. -mikko _______________________________________________ Ros-web mailing list Ros-web(a)reactos.com http://reactos.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/ros-web

Interface Team
by Jason Filby 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi all There's interest in forming an interface team, and I think it's worth exploring. This team would be responsible for all visual styling that goes on in the project. This includes ReactOS UI design and the look & feel of the website. So far both mf (as known on IRC, and has come up with most of our current icons in ReactOS) and Mikko Tikkanen (has done a great mock-up for the site: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/web_mockup.jpg) have shown interest in heading this team. If anyone else wants to throw their hat into the ring - feel free to do so. It'll probably come down to a vote - but first if the respective people could tell everyone more about themselves and perhaps the related UI experience they have. Regards Jason

ROS from 2004 Oct won't see my USB stuff (KB & mouse)
by Ralph Shumaker 13 May '05

Do the newer versions of ROS work with keyboards and mice that are USB? If not, what future version is targeted to have that?

Freeldr GRUB and the installation process
by Romain HERAULT 11 May '05

11 May '05

Is it possible to have a third option in the installation process when it comes to freeldr? As you can load freeldr.sys from GRUB, this option will install freeldr without modifiing the MBR. By this way, GRUB users don't have to mess around with a MBR backup process, which can be quite dangerous for common people. Romain

ROS installer scribbled over my ext2 partition :-(
by Christof Petig 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hi, I decided to give 0.2.6 another try on my hardware and tried to install it into a small fat32 partition (4th primary partition). The repartition program did not recognize too much of my partition structure but since I did not plan to change any partition I was not alert. Then I formatted the partition (simply using the existing fat fs did not work at all) and that did not work either. Unfortunately another partition was affected (it killed the root directory of my i386 (=32bit) linux partition /dev/hda6). I did not find any valuable data lost so far (after reconstructing the filesystem) ... To spare other users this unpleasant experience I would love to investigate this problem a bit further: fdisk -l gives me: Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 914 7341673+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 915 4743 30756442+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 4744 7175 19535040 5 Extended /dev/hda4 7176 7296 971932+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda5 4744 4865 979933+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 4866 7175 18555043+ 83 Linux And the ROS installer recognizes: 19077MB unpartitioned space 7170MB NTFS C: 17592186024390MB unpartitioned space 957MB --- T 130 18120MB --- T 131 D: 949MB unpartitioned space so it looks really confused. Hardware: Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo 1630 AMD64 3700+ Christof PS: I was unable to start the system I copied from a qemu installation over to the partition via grub+freeloader (no error output at all). So I suspect that not only the installer is buggy. PPS: My partition table in hex: Device: /dev/hda 0x000: EB 48 90 D0 BC 00 7C FB 50 07 50 1F FC BE 1B 7C 0x010: BF 1B 06 50 57 B9 E5 01 F3 A4 CB BD BE 07 B1 04 0x020: 38 6E 00 7C 09 75 13 83 C5 10 E2
