Recaptcha
Several years back I wrote about Captchas. By now we’re all familiar with them, they’re the little automated “please type these words” tests that websites use to stop automated systems from posing as users. A very cool new project has popped up called Recaptcha that is getting users to digitize historical books by offering a captcha service to websites. They want digital copies of very old books, and scanning and using OCR (optical character recognition) just produces too many errors. What they do is take images of two words and present them as a captcha all over the net. You type the two words in, they get the help and you prove you’re human. It’s a great solution. You can use this too. You can use their public “mailhide” api when you need to post your email address online. You post a link to their site and they reveal your real address only if a human correctly answers the captcha. It’s called Mailhide. Here’s my address: c…@orange-carb.org Learn more about how Recaptcha works over here. |

I just spent three days in Co. Dublin and very much enjoyed my time there indeed. Here’s a few photos from the trip.
