Last night I started perusing the book "User interface design for mere mortals" to see if I could learn something.
Throughout the book, several interesting side topics caught my attention. These include a history of UI's, paper prototyping (www.paperprototyping.com), help systems (robohelp), and psychological types (Briggs and Myers).
The book also mentioned the Archy interface, which I found quite interesting. Archy led me to Enso, and Enso led me to Gnome Go. I started using Gnome Go last night, and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. The perfect complementary tool for someone who is used to tab completing (and recursive searching) in a bash shell and who has recently started using Spotlight in MacOSX for a similar purpose.
After looking into the Go source, I realize I should really get to know some more libraries (Gconf, dbus) and other technologies (Mono, C-sharp).
