Introduction

[Matthias Mueller-Prove]

Hi,
I'm Matthias, informatician, computer scientist from the U of Hamburg. My focus is on history of GUIs and hypertext where I wrote my masters thesis in 2001.
For the recent 6 years I worked for Sun Microsystems. My latest endeavor at Sun is in the area of desktop virtualization. For more information see my links below.

Who are you?

cheers,
Matthias

I'm Jonathan Grudin, a new subscriber. I edit and sometimes write a column on HCI history (broadly construed) for ACM Interactions magazine. I've published on the topic in e.g. IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, with my most comprehensive effort in the 2007 edition of the HCI Handbook edited by Sears & Jacko. I have presented a course on HCI history at the last two CHI conferences. I'm always looking for 1500-2000 word columns that are interesting to public and practitioners while also of lasting interest, hoping for the column now in its third year to cumulatively be a useful reference for future historical analyses.

Cheers -- Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I've browsed ACM lib a bit and found some of your columns. I wonder if there is an easy handle to get hold of all your columns with one search query.

Hi --

 

I've been planning to put them up on my web page but haven’t done so.

I never tried. I just went to the Interactions page and typed "Jonathan Grudin" and got 64 hits, which included all but the most recent two, listed below.

Hi Jonathan,

[Matthias Mueller-Prove]

Thank you, yes, that was my impression as well. Maybe you should stop publishing other papers at ACM. That would make it more easy to find exactly your HCI history column. Hence your list helps definitely. ;)

Hello all --

I sent some of you a digital version of the history chapter contributed to the 2008 HCI Handbook. The copy editor had introduced a few improvements and a ton of minor errors, and in marking up the proofs I missed quite a few, which made it into the published version. My digital version did not have the changes and I had begun going through fixing things. I finally finished. In addition to removing errors and including the editor's improvements, I did a minor amount of rewording for clarity and changed the present to be 2008 rather than 2006 (when I wrote most of it) or 2007 (when it was expected to come out).

If I have set permissions correctly you should be able to get it at:
http://research.microsoft.com/~jgrudin/HCIhistory.pdf
Let me know if you have any trouble.
I'd love to get feedback, including typos, errors, unclear parts, topics that seem seriously underrepresented, and so on.
