Live blog

8.45am:
Mousavi has written to the Iranian people encouraging them to carry on protesting, according to al-Jazeera.

"My repeated suggestion as your servant is that you continue your civil and legal opposition all around the country, in a calm manner and observing anti-conflict fundaments," its translation of the letter says.

UPDATE - Poll result in Iran declared 'provisional' by the Guardian Council

"I certainly get the impression from the authorities that the wind is really changing here.The Guardian Council has now said it was only a provisional result and has called in all three losing candidates to speak to them this morning. Bizarrely, all the communications seem to be working - suddenly international phone calls are working. The BBC satellite is not being blocked.At the same time, Mr Ahmadinejad has gone off to a regional summit in Russia, apparently oblivious to everything..."
Jon Leyne 'BBC'

However "the demonstrations called by supporters of both President Ahmadinejad and Mr Mousavi are due to take place in Vali Asr Square in central Tehran" (later today.)

How to laser-tag/graffiti


See here and here.
All you will need is:
1x fast laptop (PC or Mac) that can connect to an external monitor. It helps if the laptop has a dedicated graphics card, so a Macbook Pro would be preferable to a Macbook for this reason (though macbooks seem to run it just fine!).
1x video camera that you can connect to your laptop. Video cameras that have manual controls tend to be a lot better at tracking the laser than ones that automatically adjust the image depending on how bright it is.
1x projector. Anything over 2000 lumens should be good. 1x laser pointer between 5mW and 80mW in power.
ENJOY!
Thanx to Soundbringer!
