If you are interested in participating with User Experience Studies at Canonical then you are invited to send Ting-Ray Chang an email.

Good for seeing what’s doing what to your disk; e.g. I wanted to see what was writing to disk while I was running ncdu:

sudo fatrace -p $(pidof ncdu) -t -f W

The above shows timestamp and types of action.

    I also participated in the usability study at Canonical’s offices. My experience perfectly mirrors that of Wimpy. It was a lot of fun and Ting-ray was great.
    Would love to participate in more of those but it’s a bit of a commute for me.
