Junk machine.



After several days and weeks of fulltime work on the machine that i (in a team) presented to IITB Techfest in VOiD i feel low. The mechismo used in the machine is in desi lingo simple jugaad. The absence of awareness programming into robotics made it take so long. Cut acrylic fiber, get gear drives aligning right, prepare it for the Drop test. dont know.

Now i have caught up to what i want to build.... A laser light based projector. The simple 20 rupee laser available in the market. Boa! it can ,by principle, be converted to a simple projector with gaming functionality. Just imagine, projectors getting as common as USB drives.. Lasers have always been amazing and a fantasy to work upon.

Bah! Vista!

Just got up.

Dont know when Vista is going to be out of the the legacy that Microsoft has been bringing in with its OSes.

I have this new blogger account since the old ones were compromised ( ruthlessly hacked), i am on linux now and plan to keep it;) . All this due to a security flaw in vista as my IseC stored password hashes could be stolen through a remote query? i have installed the flaw update now. The race and the fight is unending.

Using Fedora core 6. Took 2 days to install a mobile phone modem.. Functionality and style rocks out windows.
Kudos to FC.
