These are only first time run results and they look like promising to me. I will cut the long story short and let you enjoy the beauties (green boxes are detected faces):

If you noticed that theme and icons of Synaptic Package Manager are ugly on Ubuntu GNU/Linux, all you have to do is:
$ sudo ln -s $HOME/.themes /root/.themes
$ sudo ln -s $HOME/.icons /root/.icons
… and voilà!

I admit this is not news for no one, not anymore. Anyway I really liked this thing, so I wanted to share it with you guys. Pretty much everything has to be optimized there, but it’s alive (at least)!
I had to learn about Marshaling with Mono C#, and getting there slowly (thanks to quick peeks at Emgu CV code). Now only if I can build and run corresponding C code in C#…
Quick screen capture:
As my thesis project I’ll implement face detection (and hopefully also recognition) features for F-Spot. This task happens to be one of my favourite iWuds, so I’m glad that for the next months I’ll be working on something that I really wanted for a long time now.
For a couple of days I’ll be making my mind and schedule things a bit, only after that actual work will begin!
Here’s a quick list of tasks to get there (more or less in order to priorities):

Well… This may not be “the news” for most of you, but I figured this out just yesterday:
For a long time I suffered deleting files while working on command line and then figured that I needed them just in a moment. This was a real pain in the neck back then. Eventually someday, I found a nice perl script in the wild, which would create a tarball of what I wanted to delete and then move it to the ~/.Trash instead of actually removing from the system, so I could restore it from the trash (automagically into the desktop) just in case.
This solution worked pretty nice for a very long time now, but that doesn’t cut anymore, because of the freedesktop specification thing about how the trash should work, or maybe just because the way that GNOME handles this. In anycase I needed a better solution:

Zavallı insancıklarız çoğu zaman. Aslında ne yaptığımızı bilmeden, ne istediğimize bakarız. Nerden bilebiliriz ki yapmak üzere olduklarımız, senin canını yakacak? Pek zavallı insanlarız zaman zaman. Ne dediğimizi bilmeden, aklımızın istediğini deyiveririz hemen; aslında bilmeyiz ki onun gönlünü kıracak. Çok zavallıyız, çok. Gözlerimizin içine baka baka “yapma” dediklerinde, yine de yaparız. Dinlemek istemeyiz demek ki.
I believe "How to Teach a Child to Argue" is a very good article which everyone should read…
My desk isn’t visible, but you could actually see me, couple of times a day, if you’re interested enough…
Since I bought my new MacBook, I had to decide which operating systems I was going to install on it. At this very moment, I’m typing on OS X while hacking my code using VMware Fusion with Visual Studio 2008.
Using this combination I had a couple of issues with folder sharing, like many others. Here I’ll sum up what you’ll have to do in order to open your VS projects from a shared folder and also copy/move your files between your host (OS X running VMware) and guest (Windows XP in my case) systems without interruption.
After you’ve turned on “Shared Folders” property in VMware, in your guest Windows system do the following:

I really wanted to hack for F-Spot Face Detection this year, during Google Summer of Code ‘09… due to my (relatively) busy schedule and couple of other things this isn’t gonna happen (at least not for now).
For your information: I’m working on this feature at the moment. You can check the work on progress here.
