The smart right foot

Published on July 23, 2009 in Challenges. Closed Tags: , , , .

Some days ago, I got an e-mail which stated that there was a challenge which couldn’t be beaten.

The instructions were quite simple:

1- While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2- Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!

After breaking my mind for some attempts, I finally found that if you try starting from very low speeds, you can master it!

Anyway I found it quite interesing to be shared :)
As always: practice makes perfect… (Without getting maniac, of course!)

Now start trying!

PHP random password generator

Published on July 23, 2009 in Online Tools. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

As a new sequel to the Excel random password generator and the Random password generator, I’ve made a PHP random password generator service…

You can call it this way (if you hover the parameter values, you’ll get an explanation):

http://www.neoegm.com/services/random_password.php?length=8&upper=1&lower=1&numbers=1

So, for example, to generate a 10 characters numeric password you could access:

As an easy and quick to use alternative to the Excel random password generator, I’ve made this online Javascript adaptation of the random password generation function code… You can watch its source code below…

Characters


Uppercase Lowercase Numbers

Random Password

Just in case you want to see the function code without looking into the source code:
