Comments on: Unscheduled intermission http://architectures.danlockton.co.uk/2007/08/20/unscheduled-intermission/ How do people use products, systems and environments? How can designers influence interaction? How can we design for sustainable behaviour?

I don't think it was one of mine, thank goodness, but it's still disturbing. My guess is it was by "Abu" and contained a broken link, since I can't find one fitting that description but I can find what seems to be a reply to one fitting that description.

It leads to some sort of login page, rather than to any kind of interesting content at all. Please repost with the correct link. Abu, that link is broken.

What gives? I think it's high time you considered different hosting. Your current provider appears to be rather shoddy of late. Your server is abnormally slow and intermittently timing out now.

I think it’s high time you considered different hosting. Your current provider appears to be rather shoddy of late.

Seems silly to me. It's a leaflet-sized bit of paper, not sekrit battle plans for Iraq or the blueprints for a doomsday weapon. What consequences are imagined following from it being legible in your blog posting by the client in question? :P As for the comment posting delay, you have not answered my question: when is it going to go away? Recall that it was a stopgap measure until you have a better fix for some problem or other. This means it's temporary, which means there's some future date when it will go away; I'd like to know what that date is, please. Confidential? Seems silly to me.

There are people (not many, but a few) who manually check this site every few days (as opposed to via a subscription) and it seemed considerate to let them know that I hadn't disappeared.

I could have just cropped the photo differently: would that have been an equal degree of censorship? The comment posting delay is simply because each page is now cached to reduce the load on the server; it's separate from the comment moderation. P.S. Thanks Steve, I will be in touch!

Why is the thing in the lower right corner of the image pixelated-looking? Are you engaging in something as rude and against your own apparent principles as censorship? I hope not. 2. When will the comment posting delay be fixed? Two questions:

I'm making my first visit to London in 17 years in September, probably right when you begin school. I'm pretty excited about it, doing fieldwork for a new client, but maybe a pub meetup will be possible? Dan - lots of great stuff going on for you - very exciting.
