Bluetooth Image - 老师早

I’ve always received songs or pictures via bluetooth from friends, but this is actually my first time getting something so special. This person actually searched for bluetooth names and found me — “郭老师”. He/she then changed her mobile’s bluetooth ID to “郭学生” and started sending me something.

I had a great laugh when I saw that actually coming in. Super funny since I’ve never encountered something like this before. The above image was what I received. Not to be rude, I replied by sending over a business card contact with the full name being “Hello who are you?” Somehow, I enjoyed it. [For those who do not understand Chinese -- 老师 means teacher, 学生 means student and 郭 is my surname!]

The photograph was actually taken on a Sony Ericsson S500i on 9 September 2009 at 1.48pm. Cool, right?

Thanks, 郭学生!

GenderAnalyzer uses Artificial Intelligence to determine if a homepage is written by a man or woman. Although the service is still under beta stage, the results I got from it was pretty accurate.

This service uses a text classifier (API from uClassifier.com) that has been trained on 2000 blogs written by men and women.

Right Guess
We think http://felixker.com is written by a man. [No doubts]
We think http://ritzilystylish.com is written by a woman. [True]
We think http://blog.adolflam.com is written by a man. [Of course]
We think http://shanewong.com/blog/ is written by a man. [I'm certain Shane is a man. Right, Shane?]
We think http://shermianz9.blogspot.com is written by a woman. [True]
We think http://searching-4-u.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman. [Right!]
We think http://chau-chau-chau.blogspot.com/ is written by a man. [Yes.]

Not so right
We think http://ceedie.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman. [I'm sorry Ceed, but I expected this.]
We think http://trying-to-find-a-life.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman. [Bosheng is women?]

And, lastly pages that threw an exception.
http://drkmatter.blogspot.com/ [An error occurred | Sorry, we can only classify web pages written in english] [P.S Derrick, write in English please.]

My two pennies
The results I got wrong may be due to the kind of style a person wrote their blogs in. I wouldn’t say this service is unreliable, neither would I say that one can rely on it. Maybe just for fun.

Give it a try to have some fun. =)

The person who made this started by adding more ERPs around central Singapore and alittle towards the northern areas.

Towards 2015, the whole lion city becomes an ERP-wide island.

There are ERP gates located at the doors of MRTs. How possible? Pay standard fare, and ERP fare if the MRT passes through anywhere? Double fare? Fair?

 a_003

What? Pay ERP just to get home?

 a_005

The quarrel with MRT drivers to stop before the next ERP. We’ll see.

My Two Pennies Worth

These photos are what I receive in my Inbox and NOT made by me.

But really. This might happen in time to come. You see, price to bid for a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) drops sometimes, inviting more people to get a car. However, ERP prices increases meanwhile. Isn’t it the same?

Above that, public transport fares are increased almost so often. At least fares increases often enough so businesses don’t have to absorb much costs. (REFER TO QUOTE BELOW)

What can we do? Take cab? Drive a car? Take a bus? Ride the MRT?

Let us do the birds friend.

Shouldn’t it be

“Let us be the friends of birds”?

Instead of asking me to do a bird? Heh.
