As some of you know NLP is one of my biggest time consuming interests. Neuroscience has made its way into many areas of life including life coaching, therapy, marketing, trainings, sports, etc. But what about IT? Is there a place where NLP can make a difference in this market?
Personally I think that there are places where NLP can change a lot. Usability is the first thing that comes to mind (that's actually where this idea came from). If we could create software that conforms to its user's metaprograms we could design a whole new user experience! Maybe we can extract users' strategies to ease the lerning curves of the more complicated software? Or maybe even create social networks based on what we can extract from users' behavior? E-learning platforms?
NLP is a pretty sophisticated model, which makes it very hard to embed into computer software, but I believe that we'll manage to find a way to make those two thing play nice together. And it's gonna be huge.

Hello again
Hi! It's been a while since my last post, mostly due to a lot of going on and to the fact that I don't really do development anymore (but I'm still pretty close to it). Actually, I occasionally do some coding, and I'd like to announce my latest offspring, which is... on the other hand, let's wait until it's shippable. I don't want to spoil the surprise.
Like I said - unfortunately I don't do much coding these days. Not that I don't like what I'm doing now - I love it just as much as programming - but I kinda miss messing with the code. But oh well, life throws lots of (un)expected stuff at us all the time, we have no choice but to learn to deal with it and accept it as it is.
My recent job is mostly conceptual work on usability and quality standards. We're looking for ways to drastically improve user-experience of our customers' sites at low cost for the customers. Times have changed. Web applications market is very dynamic and you can both lose and win over thousands of users within just a few days. I believe that users really don't like to think and figure out stuff. They just want apps to work and most importantly - they don't want apps to get into their way. So my current task is to improve overall user experience by removing stuff that annoys/confuses users (usability bottlenecks) and make web apps more obvious and intuitive.
Of course at Aenima we just love Free Software and we want to give back to the community as much as we can. After all we built the whole company mostly on FLOSS. I do have big plans on working closer with open-source projects, but unfortunately our company can't afford to hire people to do only FLOSS development yet.
Ok, that's all for tonight, just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and still doing some really interesting stuff, which I hope you'll also be able to enjoy soon.
