Online banking security

Posted by bordalix Thu, 22 Jan 2009 14:47:00 GMT

Update 1 day later: First, just to let you know that the comments on this post are richer than the post itself. Second, that Mit has found a contact form.

You know something is wrong with your online banking security when you access cgd.pt (instead of www.cgd.pt) and you get an external page:

Note: before I post this article, I tried to find a contact form in CGD's homesite and warn them about this issue. Didn't find any. Even tried the website map.

Lisbon traffic

Posted by bordalix Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:03:00 GMT

Update: cam.aipode.com has all Brisa's webcams in a neat iPhone interface. Oh, the sweat joy of laziness. Thank you Carlos for the nice job.

I have to commute to Lisbon every day, through the 25 de Abril bridge. So, every day I need to check the traffic on the bridge, and choose the best alternative to get to my job. And since I'm a lazy person, and don't want to spend more than a minute checking the traffic, I've built a page in my blog with all the webcams I need to make my driving decisions. And it's now available to you all: Lisbon traffic through the 25 de Abril bridge.

Pretty neat.

History of the Internet

Posted by bordalix Thu, 08 Jan 2009 08:53:00 GMT

A short animated documentary from Milah Bilgil, who does a great job explaining the origins and some concepts of the Internet. The video uses a new type of info-graphic called PICOL icons, which will soon be made available for free on picol.org. PICOL stands for Pictorial Communication Language - it's a project that aims to create "a standard and reduced sign system for electronic communication." PICOL is free to use and open to alter.
