Yesterday I saw the movie “Concursante” that was for me a very good modern economy lesson and a cool story.

Recomended, Sbaraglia does a great job and it’s a very good movie to see before going to the bank to get a loan.

Clases de educación social.

Estos dias estoy asistiendo, en una correspondencia de emails desde Palma-Barcelona, a unas clases de comportamiento social implantados por una profesora italiana en una especie de juego dialectico Italico-Argentino que va muy en serio.

No revelare su identidad por que eso no sería leal de mi parte y el objetivo de este blog es contar experiencias y compartirlas con amigos y colegas sin dar demasiados detalles.

La clase nº 1 trataba sobre la politicamente incorrecta e incorregible habilidad argentina para ligar y seducir a las presas femeninas (en el inconsciente colectivo todas cuantas sean posibles sin que se conozcan unas a otras esta claro)

Aqui me tienen leyendo la clase nº2 :

Starting from the web mail, newspapers, to banking and any other service such as message boards or weblogs. We all handle different access credentials to access different web sites. Access Management is the process and technology associated with creating and maintaining system-identities for each person that is needs access to certain sections of a website or service.
On many webs today some contents and resources are only available after login. How many web accounts and profile information we ‘ve populated over the world wide web ?
Here we are publishing some Tips and suggestions on making username and password that will be safe and unique for a secure login:

• Avoid using the same password that you use to login in your email in any web credentials password. There are people that provide the same email and password as an access credential than to access the email service itself. That is the analog of leaving the secret code of your debit card in a folder of your wallet. It’is not a good idea and it becames worse when you use the same password and same email for various services. E.g.
  Access to web email : youruser@test.com pass: pass1234
  Access to serviceweb.com: youruser pass: pass1234 email set in youruser: youruser@test.com (!)
• Keep only the access credentials you need. Avoid leaving personal details everywhere. Have you ever though about how many access credentials and profiles you’ve to access different web sites ? We leave our personal details in many places without even knowing who is responsible about the sensible personal information.
• Don’t use a password that is identical to the username. I know that this is pretty obvious but I have to mention it here because I’ve seen it many times.
• Don’t use a password that is obvious. This includes first name, your birthday DayMonthYear and other obvious approaches. Try to build a strong password, letters, numbers something that is unique to you and not too hard to remember.
• Use only secure sites when sending sensible information. Secure sites use a certificate that encrypts the information you send between your computer and the site you are visiting. That means that if someone is capable of seeing the bits packs of information sended from your computer this data encrypted. (Which does not happen when you send information on a non secure site, so take care, your neightbour plugged anonymously to your wireless may be aware about your love affairs)
• Have you ever gone to a website that asks for your email address for no reason ? The guys of Mailinator though about this and build a service to avoid leaving your real email when there is no reason. And if you are a developer there is a good reason to check about emails ending in mailinator.com when you ask for a real email.
• Avoid signing up in sites where it’s hard to read the privacy policy or terms of use. Privacy policy must be clear, short, understandable.

I’ve just registered my openID, an initiative to manage your online identity in a single place, that I think it’s a really cool idea.

Just generated mine:

openid.es -> http://martin.openid.es

Then idea is that instead of generating a new acount with all your details you paste the url http://martin.openid.es and then this is what happens:

• You get automatically redirected to the openid provider where you type your password
• It checks that it’s the right passphrase and then you get redirected to the original site. (In my case I was logging in to gastus.com )

  Cool but what are the benefits ?

• You don’t have to repeat all the boring identity details once again
• You keep a record of the sites that request this id. I have almost 100 accounts everywhere and sometimes I ‘m stump thinking…do I have an account or not ?
  Now with this all this pain will be gone. So I declare myself like a strong supporter of this initiative and I will try to implement openID in future site releases.
