Caminito del Rey

21/04/2008

See the line about two-thirds of the way up? Look closer.

Now check out the video. It’s long, but it gets better as it goes on. Or scarier, depending on how you look at it.

That’s one brave man. Or stupid, depending on how you look at it…

Opel Insignia

18/04/2008

I quite like it, but isn’t it very reminiscent of, well, quite a lot of other things? Passat, Audi, Mercedes, even Bangle BMW to a certain extent. Opel have proved that they can innovate, so it’s a pity they couldn’t have their own style in this space.

Two Day House

Cracking time-lapse video of a Huf-style house build in West Cork.

Thanks for uploading it for me Shane, and for the detailed rundown on sourcing and building one!

Even More Beer

15/04/2008

Will reckons he’s more organised that me – I did actually get to the pub on Friday Will, it was just a bit “minimal” – and will be drinking coffee in Sin É on Coburg Street on Friday at 7pm to prove it.

Sadly I can’t be there, but I will be slugging pints of Rebel Red in the Franciscan Well on Friday the 2nd of May at 5pm, so hopefully some of you can make one of them.

See Will, I might be disorganised, but I do spawn stuff to beat the band. :)

And now back to your regular lack of programming…

Breathing Earth

Think I found this on Damien’s blog, but I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s a flash-based visual representation of CO2 emissions by country, plus births and deaths. Have a look.

More Beer

I’ll be in Sin É from 6pm if anyone wants to join me for a few!

Anyone fancy a few post-work pints tomorrow (Friday)?

Hackers Publish German Minister’s Fingerprint

01/04/2008

They’ll probably be arrested now as terrorists!

Wired: To demonstrate why using fingerprints to secure passports is a bad idea, the German hacker group Chaos Computer Club has published what it says is the fingerprint of Wolfgang Schauble, Germany’s interior minister.

According to CCC, the print of Schauble’s index finger was lifted from a water glass that he used during a panel discussion that he participated in last year at a German university. CCC published the print on a piece of plastic inside 4,000 copies of its magazine Die Datenschleuder that readers can use to impersonate the minister to biometric readers.

Several years ago the CCC published a guide to lifting and reproducing fingerprints.
