The Politics of Privacy
Justin Bradley . 25 Nov 2009 10:04
Justin Bradley . 25 Nov 2009 10:04
In 'Privacy and Politics', Kieron O'Hara discusses the relation of the
political philosophy of privacy to technical aspects in Web development.
Despite a vigorous debate, the concept remains ambiguous, and a series of
types of privacy is defined: epistemological, spatial, ideological,
decisional and economic. Each of these has a different meaning in the online
environment, and will be defended by different measures. The question of
whether privacy is a right is raised, and generational differences in
attitude discussed, alongside the issue of whether privacy should be
protected in advance, via a consent model, or retrospectively via increased
transparency and accountability. Finally, reasons both theoretical and
practical for ranking privacy below other values (such as security,
efficiency or benefits for the wider community) are discussed.

Screen capture on the Mac
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2009 08:58
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2009 08:58
You can capture an image of your entire screen by typing Command-Shift-3. Typing Command-Shift-4 lets you choose a specific part of your screen.
Region capture - you can change how the region selection area changes by using the following keys - note that you can release the original keys once the crosshairs appears, as long as you’ve started dragging your mouse, and you keep the mouse button down.
• Space Bar: Press and hold the Space Bar, and the size of the current region is then locked and can be dragged around the screen. As long as you hold the Space Bar down, the region’s size is locked and it can be dragged about.
• Shift: Press and hold the Shift key, and one side of the region will be locked, based on which way you then move the mouse. For instance, if you press and hold Shift, and then move your mouse down, you’ll only be able to resize the region vertically; the horizontal size will be fixed. Move the mouse left or right, and you can resize the region horizontally while holding the vertical size fixed.
• Option: Press and hold Option while dragging your region, and you’ll change the way the region grows as you drag. By default, your region is anchored at the upper left corner; when you press Option, the anchor point is moved to the center of the current region, and it expands in all directions from that point.

Using Macs at WSA (basics)

Justin Bradley . 28 Sep 2009 14:18
Materials on creating files and folders on the Mac Operating System (10.5 / Leopard).
Creating folders to organise your files is very important, this will help you to keep track of your work, create simple backups (making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.) and much much more. Whatever computer you like using, they all work on the basic principle of using folders to organise files. Files and folder should have meaningful names do not use special Characters like
£$%&! and never use a ‘.’ except before a file extension.
It is best to start creating your folders in the documents (or my documents) folder and not on your desktop, it gets untidy.

Multimedia Systems
Justin Bradley . 26 Aug 2009 20:51
Justin Bradley . 26 Aug 2009 20:51
These are the materials for the Multimedia Systems course run in ECS. Multimedia Systems is taught rather differently than most courses. Although there is a lecture series, this is to support the main activity - the organisation and participation is a student conference.
The coursework is to produce a short paper on a chosen topic to be presented as a paper, poster or demonstration at a course conference to be held at the end of the semester.
The process of producing and reviewing the coursework and then participating in the conference has been designed to be the means by students cover the full range of material associated with Multimedia Systems.

Justin Bradley . 06 Feb 2009 14:08
This document provides example feedback which has been generated following the marking of a class set of portfolios. It is used as a part of the Routes to Success Module, specifically on the section titled Sustaining Success.
Students can read the feedback prior to completing the portfolio to alert them to the possible shortfalls which may occur when they undertake this type of task.
The feedback is introduced in the context that the task of completing the portfolio is a developmental one, and that students can expect to learn and improve their performance for this type of task as they develop and refine their skills.
