Anshuman, I was in the same boat, multiple attempts to build the 
improved one with no success.  But on a whim I decided to build the 
simple ir transmitter (top one on this page 
http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html), and it worked like a charm.  The 
range is maybe a meter at the most, but for my purposes thats fine as 
I'm just going to mount it in a box and put that in front of the ir 
sensor on my cable box.  I've also never gotten the reciever circuit to 
work either :(  You had any luck with that?
