The Keystroke logger

Yes this is it. My programming project, currently under development.
A Keystroke Logger ; it records all the keys pressed from the Keyboard and creates a log file and mails it to the initiator without getting detected.
I made it using C/C++ as I needed a project for CBSE too.
For now it only works in the Win32 environment, probably later I may test it on Win64 as well.
This is just a basic Keylogger - Timber 1.0 ; which makes use of predefined key-state functions and C/C++ network libraries.
Future versions would be using Windows Hooks/DLL's and Low Level coding for higher penetration and effect. A Linux Version is on my mind too. After that probably shift too Python/Ruby for real-world programming.
A Keylogger with a name and such revealing presence would probably look weird to many, but I'm doing this, just to reach the Low Level part and understand the intricacies and possibly make more efficient programs like this and obviously increase my skill.

I will post the source code/link here in the blog as soon as it is completed.

Phos Graphis

Just got a new Digital Camera.
Shot random photo's from everywhere. Compiled the nice ones on Flickr.
Zoomed, blurred, close-ups they are all here.
I prefer clicking random 'stuff' more so their are no carbon life forms in the pictures only nature and crap.
This camera is very nice, I used all the available features clicking all these photos.
They are quite crisp and clear for a 5.0 MP camera. It has even got a DiG!C II Image Stabilization technology which improves color, sharpness, and automatic white balance and stuff.
Take a look at them and rate the one which you like the most in the Blog's Comment area.
I'll be constantly updating the image set with newer photos for a while so you can keep logging back in to the post and check them out.
(They are high quality images so they could take some time in loading up)

Lost Soul

A soothing piece of Fantasia - Lost Shadow.
Originally called Lost Soul, I had to change its name, as Newgrounds already had a song with a similar name.
The major part of this tune was composed by me in a Guitar. Later, I played it on a Synth and it sounded good. I felt composing it electronically would be nicer so I shot up Fruity Loops and did this track.
This track goes into one of my list of 'feel-good' tracks as it was initially dark and the tune on the sad side. I later modified it into a more complete form with back beats and stuff.

MeH UbUnTu DeSkTop

Ah. I managed a Good enough Desktop on this stupid old rig o' mine.
I downloaded about 50MB of stuff for the 'Eyecandy' (unlike Apoorv's 300MB $hit) in this Gnome based Desktop of Ubuntu and it worked out pretty positive.
Delineating the reality ; Gnome desktops can actually consist comparatively (KDE?) cooler desktops and eye candy stuff and good enough utilities of course.
Yes. It could've been a lot more better but I had the 'Memory/processor limit'.
Check it out.

Beyond the Infinity

The Big Bang theory says that the whole universe was created in a bang ; it expanded in a extremely dense and hot state. Where was that Bang created then ?
Theories assume the Universe to be infinite. It can actually never be Infinite, even if it is infinitively long. If I assume it to be Infinite then my proposition wouldn't be clean enough.
Friedman's equations suggest that if the critical density of space is Zero (0) then the space density ratio (real density / critical density) becomes infinite. And if the Density of space becomes infinite then the space becomes infinite. The critical density cannot be Zero. Therefore ; the space cannot be Infinitely infinite.
Let us suppose that the Universe was created in a Big Bang and that Big bang was created in another space which was too created by a BiG BanG and eventually that BiG BanG was created in some other space created by some other Bang (this is a pure word). This would lead to an endless series of improbable creations. Which would mean nothing.



I'm not trying to prove the Big Bang theory wrong but you can't actually prove the Big Bang right either.
My proposition is straight enough.
You can't actually prove the phenomenon of the creation of the Universe.
Yep. You heard it right. You can't. I've been thinking about it long and hard ever since I had the power of producing correct enough thoughts.
There is that Brain Limit that stops you. Probably I don't have that Brain power to lead me to solving the mystery of the creation of this world (if it is possible) but I have enough to Propose that statement.
We can produce endless theories of the Universe being an Alien's Lair or something but they don't make any sense because an Alien in the language of the Universe means nothing. I think communication is just a metaphor as Human body was just designed in way (with vocal chords) to communicate with beings whom we can actually communicate or beings have minds powerful enough to understand. Possibly there mustn't have been a being in this world without any two of the three major senses of Hearing, Seeing and Voice. The Universe creation would merely consider all this because this was more of evolution inside the Earth. I'll explain more about this later in the article.
Probably 'Cycle' is a more realistic word in terms of the things going around us and the things going on in outer space. Probably the improbable events in the outer space are also a part of some cycle which possibly even Math can't solve.
Math proofs are relational as they say. But if they are relational they need to be started off once at some point. Starting from the dot ; Math came into play because things were more than one. If they were more than one then we had to somehow calculate things for more things. We took variables and then formed formulae by understanding the pattern of working of the required problem. We related different formulae and formed newer ones solving more problems and clearing older doubts. If the pattern was fickle, we assumed.
I say, if anyone can prove how the Universe was created then he needs to be very precise, he can't assume.
As I said there is no limit to the events that can prove the earlier assumptions wrong (for the universe)
For example ; If I'm the scientist (Scientist A) and I propose that Universe was created by some ultra-magnetic high frequency electro-seefist positron particle ray colliding with the Neumann's goat sucking white paper shit beam and forming the universe ; then some other scientist (Scientist B) could prove me wrong by asking me that how those waves were created over that vicinity. Even if somebody proved how they got created then someone else could prove him wrong.
We try to join the Earth's events to the events we see in the Universe. That is totally uncool (it doesn't make any sense). We are confined to a particular amount of proven phenomenon and that doesn't mean that there can't be infinitely more and due to more infinitely undiscovered reasons.
Creation of earth (other planets too) is not yet proven to be correct and it can never be proven.
Our Brain is designed. We can't think or prove or presume that how the universe was created or how it'll end up as, no matter what tool we use (Math?).
Coming back to the point of Life creation. The senses were termed as they are (senses, that is) because of something called the Sound waves, View or odor was produced.
I could put up a question too. Why do we see things ?
Why do we see all this phenomenon ? Why do we see molecules of matter ? Why are they here ? Why are Sound waves produced ? What causes that disturbance in the molecular matter ? Why does there even exist something as Disturbance or possibly something as Energy ? or Why does existence exist ?
A lot of improbable and unprovable events exist in reality. We can't prove everything.
So, we can't quite prove the creation of this weird creation of Universe after a certain extent because we aren't the ones who are supposed to be proving this or even trying to prove because our Brain thought power is limited and we can't think beyond, the Infinity....

Tekken 3 - Linux

It was a multi-emulation I did some time back. I ran Tekken 3 through a Play-Station
(PSX) ISO file using a PSX emulator which I ran through Wine (The Windows emulator). The game
ran a little slow and the graphics were a bit gibberish.



The sound wasn't there as the emulator was having faults configuring the Sound Driver with Linux.
But it was well worth a try.
The flash games from miniclip ran superb without any flaws and the Counter-Strike : CZ startup screen was also fine enough.

There are native PSX Emulators available to use in the KDE/GNOME environments. But they aren't that easy to use as ePSX. They need ISO CD-ROM to run the PS games. I was having real troubles running games in it. No OpenGL game works in my PC in Ubuntu and not even those based on the Quake 2 engine like Warsow. Though Quake 2 works properly on Windows.

I was left out then...
crouching beneath the keypad board...
shivering...
looking for games to play...
games, I need games...
still looking...

doomed...
in the 'gameless' world of Linux.
