Can we escape from NSA?

If you follow the web for the last two weeks you probably know about that little (ugly) leaked PowerPoint that explains a NSA program called PRISM.

It was a guy named Edward Snowden that found out and left a job that provided a great income at the NSA because he didn’t wanted to be part of this.

Here is an interview at the Guardian.

Whether we believe his motives or not, PRISM exists more than 5 years now.

Universal Raspberry Pi Remote

I am getting mad of the remote controller in the house.

Actually I use three:

  • The TV remote
  • The Radio/iPod/CD Player remote
  • The Air Condition remote

Some time ago I fell on this post. It is an IR receiver & emitter circuit attached to a Raspberry Pi. I had some spare time so I decided to build it!

ELOT-743 translator

I had a task to translate a big Greek address book in English.

Due to the fact that Greek Language is full of special characters, a problem occurred when passports where to be created. There should be a fixed way to translate names from Greek to English. So the ELOT-743 standard was created to solve the confusion.

Here you see most of it:
