VIDEOS

These FUTURE MEMORY | TRANSPORTATION slideshows are provided as an easy, lighter way of reviewing some contents previously shared on this website and they are, in my opinion, better suited to younger viewers. They contain images of transportation vehicles in Lisboa, Portugal, and are uploaded for historical research and educational purposes. All product names, logos and brands are property of their respective owners. All company, product and service names seen in these slideshows are for historical identification purposes only. Use of these names, logos and brands does not imply endorsement.

DEAR READERS Due to unexplained copyright claims in 2022 on background instrumental themes (provided by MICROSOFT PHOTOS) used on some of my educational, non-commercial slideshows shared on YOU TUBE, by ORFIUM (HEXACORP LTD) on behalf of ScoreAScore, Danilo Stankovic, Adrev for Rights Holder, Gypsy Swing AllStars, Adrev for a 3rd Party, Darwin Music (Amphibious Zoo), Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor, I was forced to remake all my content. Thanks to BLOGGER and BENSOUND, it is now possible to bring back to this page some of the original content, along with new slideshows and videos. PS February 2024

MARCH 2024 Dear readers, unfortunately I was not aware of the 100 MB upload limit imposed by BLOGGER for video files. The video scheduled for March 2nd was 101 mb. The necessary recoding of this and other video files to a lower quality format requires the postponement of scheduled publications for August 2024. PS

Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider, which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting.

As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive mediocrity
