Start the "course" for all enterprises, including companies in which we work computer. New partners, new "lusers" new "bosses" new "experts" pichiwilis and ... new urban legends. Today
buddies talk about those phrases that run through the internet and talk about the incompetence of the lusers. Right? "Lie? "Exaggeration?. Each year there are new coinciding with the entry of new elements to the business world.
I could make a copy / paste all that Rulan online, but prefer to stick here I have lived in first or second person. We will use Jorge the BOFH (JEB) and Ambrose Luser (AEL) as an example to remain anonymous.
1. Development of interactive applications.
is clear that applications should be clear and intuitive, but sometimes it is not known to what extent. Never underestimate the power side "luser". A couple of examples:
Example 1: We have an interactive application that requires that someone type your dni. Text on screen "Enter your ID card." So far so normal. The user tells us it is a problem.
- AeL: Excuse me, is that I got my passport and now I can not remove.
- Jeb, and where he got the dni?
- AeL: for the slot (pointing to the drive).
- Jeb (I can this be happening to me.) # The poor had to go for a pair of tweezers to remove dni #
Example 2: We have the same application (used by many people) in which the text "Click on the screen on the OK button to finish" .
- Here are two variants: the one who catches the mouse, place it on the screen and clicks "OK" button (go you to know where the pointer) or catching the mouse, put it in the top screen and then clicking with the mouse (the latest variant in the TFT disuse). Very literal Tooooodo :-).
Example 3: We have to mime AeL before (the mouse on the screen) managing the same application. At one point asks for help.
-AeL: Excuse me, I have a problem.
-Jeb: Tell me.
-AeL: I need to click on this option (says one who is at one edge of the application), but I can not get (points his hand, which is on the mouse, which is on the verge of a mouse pad and draws the pointer is in the middle of the screen).
-JEB (without saying anything AeL take the hand, lift it by holding the mouse and placed at the beginning of the mat. He then leaves.)
As you can see, there are things that our understanding espace. In the next post I will continue with these stories, but before that I like:
We are in a public hall for many years. There is an email application that works with disks 3 1 / 2. In this disk are saved emails from the lusers, but not the application. Every time we read or receive mail, we put the disk asks us our key and work. So far so normal.
-AeL: sorry, but I do not mail application works.
-Jeb: Let's see what happens. (Run the application rrgggrgggrggrrgrg noise sounds in the drive).
-JEB: it seems that there is a problem with the floppy. Let's see how it is. (We take it out and try to move the plate, this does not move).
-JEB: it seems that the problem is that the sheet is stuck and the computer can not open.
-AeL: ah, the chapita that? yes, is that yesterday I dropped at home and stuck with lotitte (and I say without blushing or anything, hear.)
The next day, more jokes.
