End of 3rd. Semester

The third semester of the MSc. I am present studying (actually the reason because I started this blog) is over. With it, I have finished all the courses I had to study in Knowledge and Information Society. They have been:

- Introduction to the Knowledge and Information Society
- Technology Fundamentals of the Information Society
- Applied Statistics for Research in KS
- Technology, Economy and Society
- Information Management for Research
- Electronic Commerce and Marketing.
- Chaos Management. Introduction to Conflictology
- New Economy and E-Business
- Enterprise in the KS

Now I have to finish the MSc. preparing the Master Thesis. I prepared a brief Research proposal that I posted some time ago. Now I link the two essays I had to prepare for the New Economy and E-Business course. Both are in English and hope that you find them interesting.
The first one is on the effect of the different modes of payment in general economy. It pretends to be an introductory essay on macroeconomy. The second one is from the micro point of view and pretends to be an analysis of two case studies of enterprises applying the information collected in payment to improve their results. Both must be considered at the introductory level and hope to have the opportunity to expand them. Nothing more, enjoy the reading!

Bicing4Mobile, again

Some time ago I posted on the born of bicing4mobile. Basically was a lightweight way to check the status of a Bicing station while on the go, for instance from a mobile phone. It has some limitations, I have found problems in stations above Id # 103. Anyhow I plan to solve them.
Notwithstanding, as I already posted, the source code of the Bicing4Mobile is Open, so Its highly welcomed any help in expanding and improving it. Do not hesitate to contact me (pedro "at" domocat "dot" com) if any doubt arise.
The source code if formed by two files. I have uploaded them with a txt extension to be viewable for the browser and not interpreted as a php page. The first one, with the list of all the stations, and the second one that shows the information of the station referenced.

In addition, you can bookmark in your mobile browser the stationinfo pages in order to directly access to your favorite stations. Here you have a pair of examples of it: 1 & 2.
