Un beau tapis de feuille

Dans cette photographie, la lumière dorée de l’automne baigne un paysage idyllique. Les arbres majestueux, leurs feuilles aux teintes vibrantes de jaune et d’orange, semblent s’embraser sous les rayons du soleil levant. Au sol, un tapis de feuilles tombées offre une texture chaleureuse, créant un contraste saisissant avec le bleu intense du ciel dégagé. En...

The Most Common 4-digit PIN numbers

Pin Point: The Most Common 4-digit PIN numbers by Information is Beautiful was a redesign of Nick Berry’s original work. Having a pin that’s easy for you to remember, could also be an easy one to guess. Check out this infographic and see how safe your favorite PIN may be.

Chip and PIN card, phone passcode, hotel safe – how predictable is your chosen PIN number?

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

Created by the late great Nick Berry of Data Genetics (redesigned and used with permission). He wrote a great data story around this which is also worth a read.

I really like this heatmap. Visually, it reveals a number of insights from the data:

  • The diagonal line shows the PINs where two digits are repeated to create a 4-digit PIN. 1111, 3434, 5050, etc.

  • The lower left corner is brighter with PINs starting with low numbers, generally representing dates. The section goes to the right up to the number 31, representing the day. Birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

  • There is a bright horizontal line of PINs starting with “19” the wraps into a line starting with “20”, representing a year that someone has chosen for some significance. Birth year, wedding, graduation, etc.

  • The black squares are the least used PIN numbers, also listed at the bottom of the infographic.

Found on Information is Beautiful.

In 2007 the University of St Andrews Web Team (of two) was faced with the daunting task of managing the migration of 4,000+ Web pages from 35 individual Web sites into one new Web site within a content management system. Having explored various methods we settled on using mind maps to successfully the complete the task within 4 months. In this workshop we will begin with an overview of mind mapping before sharing what we did and looking at how you can use this tool to efficiently organise and manage your own content. The session was facilitated by Stephen Evans and Gareth Saunders, St Andrews.

A3: Coping with Forms: Implementing a Web Form Management Application

Creating good forms is a tricky business encompassing a wide range of disciples (accessibility, usability, security, etc). What's more, the development of bespoke online forms, and their back-end reporting interfaces, can be a huge resource drain for institutional Web teams. This session will tackle these problems by asking 'what do we need to know to make better forms, and how can we better manage form development processes'? As a case study, we will look at how the implementation of a form building and management application has aided the Web team at City University. The session was facilitated by Dan Jackson, City University.
