In recent years, sending short messages to mobiles (SMS) has become an essential requirement for the development of platforms for my customers.

Given the low cost of SMS, they have became an extremely popular communication method at a professional level for various applications:

Decrease communication costs

VoIP technology (Voice over IP) is no longer new. However, maybe motivated by a certain lack of technical knowledge, a lot of people miss the opportunity to use this – almost - free service and they keep on paying extra for their communications.

Computer Security II

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Because of the pertinence of the subject, and because the recent news about millions of computers being controlled remotely by computer pirates has spread in the last weeks, I am posting an article that I had published in 2002, which content is still up to date.

Please notice that your computer may not be of interest at first sight, but it may still be quite tempting to the enigmatic hackers out there!

QuemVem.com

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Quemvem.com emerged as a small pietism manifestation on a Saturday afternoon after a football matche with friends.

Summoning almost 30 people every week, organizing Excel files to get to know how many had already confirmed their attendance, how many still did not said anything, how many wouldn’t attend, opening dozens and dozens of emails just reading “I am coming” then "I am no longer coming" - after some time I said “STOP IT!”

Remolpinta - Dynamic Website

sáb, 14 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Like many online websites, Remolpinta had a problem: the distress in the update of its online content.

Being a static website, its update had to be made by a person with HTML knowledge. Such made the website slow on updates with the related image cost . This represents perfectly the not so efficient exploitation of the precious online channels nowadays.

Rent-A-car Online Booking

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT

When I was requested to do a Rent-A-car webpage, interconnected to a global booking server and with little over 10 days...I hesitated...to say the least...

Messages with virus or phishing

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT

It has become more and more common to receive fake email messages that hide a malicious code with the objective to overthrown our computer’s security.

Such can be even more dangerous when you are inserted in a corporation network. If your computer gets infected, chances are that other machines within the network will be infected too.

It worries me that in the last couple of days, several clients reported getting a lot of these messages.

It has been a while since my last project related to the pharmaceutical industry. Such is very special for me, since it was where I initiated my career as an Information Technology Consultant.
