Too Much of Life

For the past 2 weeks or so, there's been too much life not much linux.

My updates:

 -- installed tesseract OCR engine in Fedora  ( from repo )
     -  works on *.tiff images but not for png
     -  tried installing libpng, png dev libraries - nope - nothing
     -  even while "ocr"-ing some tiff images - fails horribly



-- working on Sudoku grabber app in Android
     -  inspired by [ http://www.aishack.in/2010/08/sudoku-grabber-with-opencv/ ]
     -  following this guide
        [ http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/ ]
         for porting tesseract engine to Android
