1.) Had to scroll down to get to the "end day at" pull down. (the iPad used for this test had a different resolution than the iPad that was used for testing...). No indication that the "end day Minor.
What is the drag me do? playing with the drag me button--has to do with where the map zooms in eventually? oh I see what happened--we dragged lunch over there! let's try adding dinner. crap I keep zooming in by accident. visit dome ... add activity and go to opera. add activity so let me see if I can order these things around.
each should take 1 hour... ok. so I need to zoom in oh no I don't nvm... so let's see breakfast gets dragged over and ooh ok I can resize the breakfast icon to make it take longer (I was hoping it would do something like that!) let's schedule lunch over here. ok so now I need to zoom in (I can't see shit). wait where did my breakfast go... it seems to have dissapeared completely (the user accidentally pressed the X delete button). user doesn't see how to get breakfast back or how to undo. <observer tells the user about undo>; gets breakfast back. typed in eat breakfast vs. breakfast---user got confused about defaults. it is confusing that activities are on top of one another by default (i.e. you can't see how many are really there). what are the grey blocks? oh I see they enforce the latest end time? that's good. now, I guess we don't care where lunch is eaten so lunch is .... so dinner doesn't have a latest time but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify that? why can't I just say "none" or end of day? hm I can't find C. C was dinner where did C go? C has dissapeared (ONLY C has dissapeared on the map--probably a bug). User tries to undo to fix the problem, but then progress is lost. lost C again... right after scheduled dinner. C dissapeared again.
Now scheduling the opera. C showed up again! Showed up in the wrong spot (southeast of where it was supposed to be). where is the medici chapel? ok found it. it marked dinner at centro storico and then it appeared at ... can't read where (icons are in the way). when I added the opera. did not use the locked button. did not use the auto-schedule button.
<post-briefing>
would have been nice to just have the schedule column to have a sense for the schedule; and then there should be an optimize button.

TODO Chris, user test information (volunteers?)
Briefing:
SMak helps you plan your schedule. When people travel to foreign countries, they typically know what you want to see but not how to go about doing it. With SMak, your job is to specify what your activities are and give hints as to how you want to carry out those activities. Smak's job is to help fill in the details of your schedule: how to get from place to place, in what order to do your activities---these sorts of things.
Tasks:
1.) You want to visit Florence.
2.) You want to wake up at 8am and go to bed at 10pm.
2.) You want to do the following activities throughout the day: eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, visit the dome, and go to the opera.
3.) Based on your personal preferences, you want to have breakfast between 9:30am-11:00am, lunch between 12pm-2pm, and dinner sometime after 5pm. You want to have breakfast at the University of Florence, lunch somewhere close to the piazza del duomo, and dinner at the Centro Storico. You plan for each meal to take one hour.
4.) Now, you want to visit tourist places in Florence *and want to do as little walking as possible.* You want to visit the dome (at the piazza del duomo) at some point in the day for two hours; it doesn't matter when you go. The dome opens at 10am and closes at 5pm. You also want to go to the Medici chapel for a special opera showing that starts at exactly 3pm and lasts for 2 hours.
