Using a reed switch, some discrete components and NAND gates to build a door alarm.

Tracking motion, thresholding and some other neat concepts in OpenCV.

My first attempt at cascade classifier training finished at 4:30 this morning, but didn't yield the best results.

Started working on the new layout and some additional functionality.

A Boolean algebra simplification engine in Java.

Building a circuit to interface the daytime and nighttime modes of a PIR sensor.

I am working on a code generator based on accepted solutions on Stack Overflow.

Using Fourier series and boundary value analysis to look at the math behind a drum.

Designing a wall voltage to +/-15 volt power supply.

Writing a fairly simple user level thread library in C.

Today I launched a private wiki to organize my notes, projects and thoughts.

SHA algorithms can only provide so much security, and changes in computing power are reducing the time required to brute force the password. An alternative is using a work factor algorithm which is easy to adapt to increases in computing power.

This blog will act as a place to put things that are too small to be a project, but I still feel are worth discussing.
