PI technology stands for Portable Interface technology. This acronym, like PI, is old and cited only to represent the mind set that colours all aspects of pieV.com.

PI technology is the foundation of goGUI.com (a portable desktop), and yet, PI has fast been dated and overshadowed by the widely accepted "AJAX" plethora. Moreover, there are many javascript libraries that include ajax, such as jQuery which is being used as the foundation for pieV.com's PI technological perspectives.

PI technology is at its heart a "portable" or "Mobile" platform. The concept has always been to provide super usability to all users, without the confines of a particular operating system or hardware configuration. Hence it is ideally suited for the internet, which seems abvious today, but has been the driving force behind pieV.com for more than 12 years.

• Static operating systems and applications must be installed on a single computer.
• DOS was the originalText User Interface.
• Windows is the Graphical User Interface that replaced DOS.

• Portable operating systems (PI) and applications are not installed and are available from any online computer.
• The Internet is almost exclusively a Text User Interface, just like DOS.
• PI technology is a Global Online Graphical User Interface, like Windows, only portable and more efficient.

PI was built as a Client-centered technology. In this context, Client refers to the user, customer, employee or partner that desires a technology that puts them in the captain's chair.

The following could well be said about AJAX and many javascript libraries today.

PI technology funnels entire websites through a single solution which is loaded in a single webpage. All actions, requests and processes are then handled by the client (browser) with PI technology. Where as other websites involve hundreds or thousands of webpages that need to be managed and maintained, PI technology uses just 1.
Bottom Line:

• Eliminate redundant lines of code.
• Easier to manage and update.
• Less expensive to produce and use.
• Faster and more efficient for users and employees.

PI is fast and efficient! Rather than having a single server doing all the work while the clients wait for the internet to transfer all that information, the server sends out small fragments of information that the client then renders. This saves bandwidth and server side resources while providing interactive capabilities to the client, such as drag and drop processing.

1. Servers are used to store content as xml fragments or in a database.
2. Servers respond to requests for data.
3. Servers do not process or compile full html pages.
4. Servers do not process or compile html pages controls or page fragments.

PI technology eliminates "full page refreshes" while producing a continuous user experience that is fully interactive. Using our "load on demand" features and "local client side data sheet", PI only needs to access the server occassionally using small XML fragments which are bandwidth friendly.
 

GoGUI is an acronynm for Global Online Graphical User Interface.

Back in 2002 GoGUI.com was a leading edge "windows based" portable desktop. It was build with PI technology and provided a real-time, online file system which had the look, feel and functionality of the "Windows operating system" that was prevelent in that day - with the advantage that it was portable - could be accessed online from any browser of it time.

The PI Explorer provides drag and drop functionality for icons, shortcuts and folders. The folder and file panes provide interactive views of the real-time online files system, just like one would use with a windows explorer.

Amongst GoGUI's many features include:
• Live, interactive script windows/files.
• Live, interactive HTML windows/files.
• Live, interactive text windows/files.
• Live, interactive SQL Server windows/files.
• Live, interactive, interface manager.
• Keyboard shortcuts and navigation.
• Context menus.
• Favorties and shortcuts to other files or webpages.
• A Getting started tutorial
• Advanced personlization for fonts, titles, system and desktop.


Please note that GoGUI has not been upgraded in the past 7 years. This website/technology is maintained for internal use and for registered clients.

Using a picture (graphic) for a password provides many benefits:

1. The picture may be unique to you.
2. Accessing visual images is generally easier and more reliable that unique combinations of letters and numbers.
3. Using a mouse to produce unique patterns on a unique picture is more secure than a cryptic password.
4. Keyboard loggers are rendered useless.
5. Passwords may also be combined with the iPicPass patterns to provide the best of both worlds.

iPicPass.com is the website dedicated to iPicPass as a technology for mobile devices.

PhotoPassword.com is the website dedicated to iPicPass as a technology for online authentication within browsers.

Security

• Security that goes beyond a text based password.
• Don't be forced into using cryptic codes, numbers and letters that are impossible to remember.
• Increase the complexity of your authentication while simplifying your usage!

• Currently passwords are text based.
• This paradigm erroneously expects the user to provide greater security by using numbers, uppercase, lowercase and other characters.
• Visual authentication is far more complex while being user specific and friendly.

• Create multiple profiles.
• Set your own permissions; one login doesn’t have to fit all situations.

• Have you ever wondered why you only get one user name and password to your online activities?

• A picture is worth a thousand words.
• Upload your pictures.
• Create your own unique pattern for a given picture; this produces a profile.
• Choose a sensitivity and permission for a given profile.
• Add a password if you so desire.

• Your passwords can be as simple or detailed as "you" choose.
• The complexity isn’t found in the text, it is found in the pattern, the sensitivity and the picture.
• Only you know your pictures; you will know why you drag Aunt Sis’ mouth to her foot!

• Swipe through to your dog's photo.
• Click on his head.
• Type a password, say "beauty".
• Drag his heart to the sky.
• Click once again on his right paw.
• Give this profile top permissions - access to all of your accounts.

• Swipe through to your first car.
• Drag the hood to the trunk.
• Click on the driver's door.
• Give this profile lower permissions - access to your petty cash account only.

iPicPass - CORA (Context Ordered Replacement Algorithm).

• Keep your data safe.
• Manage your online data independent of unknown trust relationships.
• Protect your data even if the server is compromised! Even the most secure servers have at times been comprimised.
• Don't rely on a single trust relationship

• Once it is online, it is somewhere, forever.
• If someone hacks a server, and grabs your data, even if it is encrypted, they have forever to break the encryption.
• Even the most protected servers have occasionally been compromised!

• CORA uses a replacement algorithm to separate your data into multiple files. Each file may be saved locally or remotely on a single, or multiple servers. All files are needed to re-assemble your data. Your data is safe!

• Use two separate servers; as difficult as it is to break into one server, it is nearly impossible to compromise two specific servers belonging to different locals and networks.
• Keep fragments locally on your computer or on your usb.
• Your data is safe!

• Imagine that your favourite book has had letters removed in a context based manner that is unpredictable.
• Then say 20% to 50% of these letters are placed into a bag.
• A thief steels this bag; there is no way for this person to re-assemble your book based upon this bag of stollen letters.

There are 4 key aspects to CORA included in this release of iPicPass.
1. A unique client Key that is produced when you register for the free version or purchase a mobile license.
2. A unique data Key that is created when you initiate a backup of your data.
3. Two or more data files are used to hold the context ordered replacement fragments.
4. You may choose to keep your files locally on your own, or store them centrally on different servers.

Bottom Line
• Your data is safe!
• It cannot be reassembled with just one file!
• Unlike encryption which is based on large prime numbers and a single file, it doesn’t matter how powerful a computer or how much time the thief has; if they don’t have all the pieces and the context, they don’t have your data.

Excellence is to Perfection as the Journey is to the Destination.

Who you are is more important than what you do, and yet, what you do is an expression of who you are!

Good Habits lead to success, bad habits lead to failure.

How does the "child within" embrace the "wise sage" that pays attention to the lessons gained through time? Both share a love of learning and quest for experience. The sage has the upper hand in areas of respect and depth while the child's taste for exuberance is more visible from a distance. The child within sees each new moment and possibility as a first and is certain that there is only sunshine ahead. The sage knows that storms must arise and understands that weathering storms is intimately tied to learning without regretting, and recognizing without blaming.

Excellence is the journey that allows the "child within" and the "wise sage" to embrace life with wisdom and youthful exhuberance - it is the fountain of youth and truly the only path worthy of life. I believe this is the best lesson that technology has brought to our social awareness. Software packages are never perfect (free of bugs, or so great that they never need to be improved upon), and yet, many software packages are excellent.
