the Spoken HearTs of lapace

Woah, its been almost a month I din’t get my blog updated. That’s no good. Hah. I need to do something and I’ve figured out this, all these while more than 60% of my blog posts are with pictures, which means preferably I love photo sharing more than ordinary information sharing. True enough? Well definitely I don’t leave this blog abandoned it is still pretty kicking, yet alive ! What I planned was I wanted to separate my content sharing to two blogs ! One strictly for photo sharing (which I will find another blogging tool eg Tumblr) and another one which is my current WordPress profile for most of the ordinary live updates / information sharing purposes. Too complicated? Well I’m kinda a photo enthusiast and I wish to put more effort to build a better space to share my photos and stories :p Well that’s enough for today, its 24th, Sunday 9:24pm. Happy weekends.

Oh gosh… I’ve been prank eventually.

You may check out this so called ‘Gmail Motion’, a prank feature on this April Fool believed that uses your body movement to interact with Gmail to translate characters and commands, good one. Check out here.

Guys, if you are bored of swiping the default lock screen provided by your smartphone, you could probably try this alternative app called the LockBot Pro. Its pretty cool compared to the default one, fully customizable, able to select the style of the lock screen as you like such as iPhone/Samsung Galaxy S/Android Eclair/Froyo/Xperia X10 with tons of themes to choose, very stunning one. It works pretty well with my HTC Legend.

Of course you need to pay for this Pro version, but no worries, again I’ll help you to get it for free. Sharing is caring what :p Just heap to this link. Hope you like it.

Fans of Angry Birds, finally the latest version (Angry Birds Rio) is available for major smartphone users. Unfortunately you couldn’t find this on the Android Market as Amazon grabs this app exclusively and launched it on Amazon Appstore, you may sign up an Amazon account for your Android phone. Again, unfortunately, I’ve tried to get this from the AppStore, signed up, but due to geographical area problem Amazon prevented me from downloading this game.

But, no worries, I’ve found a link which will direct you to the download page for this game, I guess its workable apk file, a 12.4MB apk file. Hopefully this works as I have not try to install this yet. Anyway, have a barcode scanner? Scan this QR code below to the download link and enjoy 🙂

I was thinking, pictures are too static, they can’t move or animate, that’s a lil boring, so I decided to do something different – Exploring the opportunity of Videography. From static to dynamic. Making images into animation. Well I have successfully made a short video clip (below), I guess ahh I spent roughly 3 hours for that, simply simple, trying to present the idea of my photography concept, well if you guys are free just spend a minute to watch that clip below, of course it’s not a good one as if its from a studio standard. My first video only anyway :p So, please watch and tell me what do you think! 🙂

DETAILS

And now I realized, doing something you love to do without complaining I’m tired is somehow to be referred as Passion :p

Anyone of you using Adobe Photoshop CS5? You might found out there’s a new feature in the PS CS5 called as the Content-Aware tool that allows you to seamlessly remove background objects literally with a single click and filled up the remaining area by its own.

That’s the definition, but have you aware of something? This feature, however, for photographers or any designers that actually put on watermark on their masterpiece – the copyright might be infringed. Know why? Just take a look at these two same pictures below. Got it from Google Image with some random search for testing purpose.

That is the original picture with a huge watermark in it.

Guess what, after I applied the Content-Aware feature in the selected area of the watermark, with a single click on “Delete” key, immediately the watermark disappeared and automatically filled up the blank area that matches the surrounding of the image.

And eventually, the copyright of this picture goes to me. Its that easy. :p But this is definitely not a good idea, big mistake, I do upload lots of pics up with watermark, so, don’t steal my gambar I tell you! :p Want to learn? Find out yourself, its everywhere.

No doubt, that’s the fact, you can see macam-macam activities happening in Facebook and definitely makes you had a good laugh at it. Here’s some live examples I found from some of the peeps in my Facebook list:

#1. Someone tries to express his/her sadness but…

or feeling emotional, let’s say is a He, &  expressing to everyone out there! But when the concerned parties is trying to concern about it, he insists of not telling the actual matter. So what’s the point there? Its just like telling people that ice is formed by liquid. Here’s one good example:

JackMan HAIZZZZZZZZZ………..

comments:

A : What happened?

JackMan: I’m so sad………………….

A: I know lah, what is happening then?

JackMan: Haizzz… something happened………

A: zzzzzzz. wtf.

You see, he is trying to draw attention telling the world that he is so damn sad and then sort of ‘provoking’ the others to dig out the news from him but end up you got nothing but bullshit. If it is something confidential, then you shouldn’t be doing so. Very stupid act indeed.

#2. Self-Understandable

This is another favourite activity or habits from Facebook users that shares something that only he / she can understands. Here’s a good one:

Billy Chong huh? =.=

comments:

B: what?

Billy Chong: Nothing.

B: =.=”

Huh????? Huh????? What? Alright, I guess no one understand what this fella is trying to say. People might think you’re a real weirdo . And, that is total unnecessary. No one knows what you are talking, save your energy by doing something else.

#3. Unlimited Requests

Tons of apps / games / contest requests will really drives you crazy. When you do not need those stuffs and you do not know how to block them, you’re in headache and spending time to remove them one by one. Those requests like posting to your wall requesting you to join a particular app to win something is real stupid. Sorry to be so mean but please you’ve got something else better to do rather than stucking at this hopeless stuffs, hey there are millions of FB users out there at the same time doing the same thing as you doing now so the chances to win something is like zero so stop dreaming and get a life.
