		<title>Adjusting screen brightness with shortcuts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I installed Windows 7 on my Sony laptop. The good thing about it is it runs quite stable and most things just work. The bad thing some of the shortcuts with the blue "Fn" key don't work anymore. Adjusting the volume works perfectly fine, but setting the brightness of the LCD backlight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bandpass Filtering and LCD Testing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As promised here are some results of a test session with the LCD. I ordered a bandpass filter for 850 nm near-IR light for the PS3 camera a while ago at ebay. The filter blocks all light except in a small range around 850 nm wavelength. I am trying to build a multi-touch screen with [...]]]></description>

		<title>LCD Disassembly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quite some time passed since my last post. If you were wondering what I was doing in the meantime and why news took so long, read on. After the successful testing in my last post, I wanted to try the whole thing on with an LCD. The problem with that was how to get one. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blob Detection Reloaded</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I finally got the 50 Osram SFH 4350 LEDs I ordered. These shine at 850 nm, a wavelength at which the PS3 Eye is quite sensitive. The first thing to do with these LEDs was to test them somehow. Since I haven't got an IR bandpass filter for the cam (I ordered one from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upgrading PS3 Eye Camera and Blob Detection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As noted in my last posting, the images of the modified Eye camera were quite blurry. That was the case because the IR filter was missing and so the camera got out of focus. I was asking myself for the reason, since the filter is not a lense at all. Glass has a different refraction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Edge detection with PS3 Eye cam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently bought a Playstation Eye camera because I would like to get my hands on multitouch surfaces. At first, I disassembled my camera according to Peter Kirn's instruction videos to remove the IR filter. I was quite lucky since I bought the cam at Saturn in Germany and did not know that there are [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230; but how is it called in English?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[English is not my mother tounge as you can surely guess. So I often have to translate some words from German to English and vica verse or look up words I don't know. I had a nice tool called Babylon Translator. It was just a trial version and ceased to work after the trial period. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello Web2.0!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, I've got my own domain and blog running. Setting up everything was easier than I thought...
