			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Safer Security Camera System with <a href="http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome">Motion</a></p>
<p>Now that you have your <a href="http://alexpb.com/notes/articles/2007/03/22/home-camera-security-system/">motion activated security camera system</a>, you could make if safer by uploading the captured images automatically to a remote server just in case something happens to your computer.  I&#8217;m using Slackware Linux but the setup should be very similar on other distributions.</p>
<ol>
<li>Create an executable batch file containing the following (pico ~/batch_file):
<p><code>rsync -avz /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cam1 destinationserver.com:~/</code></li>
<li>Edit /etc/motion.conf and add/uncomment the following line
<p><code>on_event_end /home/user/batch_file</code></li>
<li>Edit ~/.ssh/config (create the .ssh folder if it doesn&#8217;t exist) and add the following lines to it:<br />
<blockquote><p><code><br />
Host destinationserver.com<br />
HostName destinationserver.com<br />
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa<br />
User your_user_name</li>
</blockquote>
<li>Install and setup <a href="http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/misc/keychain/">keychain</a> so that ssh doesn't ask for your pass-phrase every time it tries to connect. Take a look at this <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185796">keychain/ssh-agent  tutorial</a></li>
</ol>
<p>You can use a webcam like the one listed below, which features infrared lights for improved night vision (and it is USB so don't need any special hardware for composite input).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/">download</a> and install Audacity.</p>
<p>Then, to be able to record both the microphone input and the sound card output at the same time using Audacity, you have to un-mute the microphone playback in the Volume control.</p>
<ol>
<li>Double click the speaker in the System Tray</li>
<li>Click Options &#8211; Properties &#8211; Playback &#8211; Check Microphone &#8211;  Click OK</li>
<li>Un-check the microphones mute and raise the volume</li>
</ol>
<p>You should now be able to hear yourself in the speakers or earphone when you talk in the microphone and also be able to record the output (person you called) and the input (you) in Audacity.  Select Stereo Mix on Audacity&#8217;s Mixer Toolbar and hit Record.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unlock wide variety of locks with a bumping(rapping) key.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t try this, but it seems like a good idea. They claim you can open 90% of all locks with this technique.<br />
All you need is an existing key that fits the target lock, a metal file and something to hit the key.. To see how to do it, you can find a video and pdf and video at: <a href="http://www.toool.nl/">toool.nl</a>.</p>
<p>There is bump proof locks, they are more expensive than your regular hardware store locks but I think it&#8217;s worth it.  You can find a list <a href="http://wiki.whatthehack.org/images/0/00/BumpkeyPresentatie.pdf">here</a> (PDF).</p>
