OpenCV is a library for digital image processing which supports C, C++ and Python. It runs both in Windows and Linux. However installing OpenCV is not straight forward. I don’t know why such popular library is left like this.
Here is one article which explains easy installation. However, I will add scripts for installing OpenCV later.

Web is huge- about 1.7 billion people use it. You may ask, while talking about the size of web, why I have used the number of people instead of number of website? The answer lies in the modern web technologies. Probably I would use the number of websites, if it were the era of web 1.0 technologies only. But web 2.0 has given power to people.

May be the communication between two people at two different domains (time or space) started with the paintings on the stones by our very first ancestors.

By now, IEEEXtreme 3.0 should be over. This year there were about 700 teams participated in the contest- which means about 2100 competitors. In terms of number, it was a great success- I believe it was beyond organizers’ expectation. I was worried if the server will be able to handle the huge traffic. Eventually it did. Problem set was pretty standard – well defined and organized. The contest went very smooth. However, talking about the organization, I felt the contest could be better. So here are some feedback from me:
