Filo Art “IRASC” - infra-red-anti-surveillance-camera
February 24, 2008Filo Art “IRASC” - infra-red-anti-surveillance-camera
Not many people know - but you can see infrared lights with a video camera really well. I use it myself to check remote controls are working - just get your video camera and point it at the business end of a remote whilst pushing some buttons.
Well you can take this trick and ‘fool’ security cameras - built yourself a headband full of infrared LEDs - and then walk into areas with video cameras without getting ID’d.
Now - whilst this is’nt the most subtle - if you dont have a real live person watching the cameras (eg: a DVR system) then you its a new age version of wearing a balaclava - without the sweaty face afterwards.
Check out the cool ‘my head is replace by a white glow’ pics at the link.

I think I do about 8 of these …
eeePC drop testing …
February 22, 2008A good video for all those who have asked who durable my eeePC is. Watch (and cringe) and this guy keeps on pushing it off a chair, from a railing, from a desk (onto a hard floor), each time doing the test screen closed and then screen open. To top it off he leaves it outside in the freezing cold and then turn on in a small space 40 degrees centigrade.
I suspected it was pretty tough but this is impressive… I love my eeePC.

Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users
February 16, 2008Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users
Well - I installed the final release of SP1 last night with no problems so far.
I first had to uninstall the SP1 RC - and then I decided to run Windows Update - low and behold there were about 12 updates that I had been missing for the past two months.
After many reboots later installing the updates I fired off SP1 overnight (it takes a while). Woke up this morning with it all installed.
Run Windows Update again afterwards and I had one important update to install still from Oct last year ? Anyway all installed fine.
