Here's a very simple, but a stunning little gizmo which can be assembled in less than 30 minutes. I show you how to build a simple Infrared cam that can see-through certain materials and also has night vision capabilites! All you need is an old webcam/digital cam. (The process requires ripping open the cam and altering its lenses and all. So ONLY use an old cam or something). I've also included a few pics I shot with my modded Logitech Quick cam.

Here's the article:

PS: Please do this at your own risk. I won't be responsible for the damages you do to your cams, if any!

Being just 12" (widescreen), its not a laptop actually, but a Notebook.

Lets get technical.

- 512MB RAM (max 2GB)
- 80 GB HD
- Dual layer DVD±RW/R ( translates to DVD (Re)Writer! )
- Intel Graphics media accl (upto 128MB! shared mem)
- A Card reader (5 type)
- Built in support for Bluetooth,WiFi, blah blah..

Its fun connecting my Nokia 6630 to my notebook

Nevermind, the previous Vine logo (last post) was childish, a colorful cartoon. Anyway, here's the latest one.

Ok, its confirmed. boastMachine 4.0 is going to be named "Vine". I cant disclose 'why' the name right now, but after release. Here's the official logo (for now).

I would like to announce the opening of my latest project, SplogSpot.com. Its as crazy as it sounds



What is splogspot
SplogSpot is just a piece of software that feeds on Pingoat's blacklist database. It is the service designed to make Pingoat's blacklist database public. With the Splogspot API, anyone can query Pingoat's blacklist database. So if you are starting a blog aggegator or something, or even a blog directory, use SplogSpot's api to keep your sites clean!

Why a SPLOG search!
Splog Search is just a silly cosmetic addon. Just for fun. The core idea is still making the pingoat's blacklist database publicly accessible.

On September 7th was Tithin's funeral. He was taken from his house to his Father's house, where the funeral was held. He was kept lying on the table for everyone to see. I could feel my heart break and sense lose. Alex, Rahul and all burst out crying. Tithin's father, who was sitting there still, burst into tears for the first time, when he saw us. Afterall, Tithin used to spen more time with us than his own family. Friend, friends, friends, that was all he had to talk about.

I still cant accept the fact that he is no more. I am totally unable to make myself believe that I wont ever see him. Death is real perplexing state. Who knows, he might be watching us all from high up there. Or maybe he's still with us, trying to talk to us. One day, we all will have to go there, to the peak. Sooner or later, you me, we all goto one place alone..

Today is September 6th, one of the worst days of my life. Today, my dearest of the dearest friend, Tithin passed away. After a year long struggle with blood cancer, he finally surrendered. God must be loving him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have called him so soon.

My dear friend, we studied together for eight years. We shared joy, sorrows, we had fun. We did a million pranks together. We quarrelled, we fought, life was so good. My dear boy, how much I had prayed for you, why did you decide to leave us so soon. You had a whole life to live and enjoy, why did you give up so fast. Your thoughts force a smile on my lips, but do you have any idea how much pain and sorrow I'm bearing inside me? Oh dear boy, why did you leave us so soon.

Your memories will last for ever dear Tithin.
Love, your dear friend - Kailash
