In my previous study post I've mentioned about how you can turn your commuting time into a productive one by using a text to speech online reader. And some have asked me whether if it is possible to read an image file or pdf document. The answer is Yes~ But! In order for the reader to perform text-to-speech translation you'll first have to convert your pdf/image file into a flat text file using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software~ So what is Optical Character Recognition and its uses? OCR is a type of character recognition technology that is used for translating images or pdf files into pure text document. The algorithm will scan, detect, differentiate and convert characters to plain text at an efficient speed. The extracted text can then be used for various applications: Data Mining and text mining  Text to Speech  Language translation (who needs an interpretor, I want my カレーライス)  Assistive tool for Blind and visually impaired  ...

Back as a trolling tool to evade spam filter, ASCII art is the oldest and simplest from of computer text art or some would say typewriter art. In the recent years ASCII art has become a common sight in the social media. And if you are an avid user of YouTube, you might have already seen Bob. Who's bob Hi I'm Bob the annoying ASCII character who appears every now and then in the YouTube comments. <---Meet Bob (the builder) who builds his own army of spammers. This cancerous Bob has been proliferating uncontrollably since the integration of YouTube and Google+ took place. Bob's rebellious intention is understandable.. with Google is forcing everyone to get a google plus account is no wonder why people get so agitated. (First it was blogger's commenting system then now youtube...) However, in my opinion, inconsiderate spamming of comments in any social media is just as absurd. Google is not going to do anything.. if they want.. they could j...

While people are dying from starvation in some parts of the world, few Koreans are actually overloading themselves with food. Mok-Bang (a portmanteau words for eating and broadcast) is currently the newest form of "food porn".

Coupled with a PC, Spectrometers used in any analytical laboratory are often bulky and large. Even though there are numerous handheld spectrometers sold in the market, none of them look like this! Most handheld Raman spectrometer have the rugged look and needs to be held close to the target in order to get a good detection of the scattered photons. Look! It's a Food scanner. It's a Handheld Spectrometer. It's TellSpec~! Food composition analysis has never been done easier! Simply wave this beam emitting gizmo over your Ramen and within seconds you will be able to find out the nutritional data of your favourite noodles. Is that even possible?!

Before reading this article you should already have basic understanding of what SEO is about. If not, you can always refer to our previous post on  What is Search Engine Optimization?   SEO can be categorised into two sub groups Off page SEO and On page SEO. This is how I look at Off page and On Page SEO... The context is pretty much similar to that of a human behavioural psychology theory. Nature vs Nurture . How it affects the development of human or in this case a website. On Page SEO is similar to "Nature" while Off Page SEO is similar to "Nurture" Let me explain further... Some said that Off page SEO is 30% responsible for the overall SEO process. In my opinion both On page and Off page are mutually responsible for a site to achieve #1 ranking.

As usual a little introduction about the food that I am going to cook. Hmmm... What exactly is a white pizza?  Is it a must to have white sauce (roux made from butter and flour) as the toppings?  Even I myself wasn't sure about the real definition of it either.. So I did some extensive research on the variations. And I found out that the only difference between a red and a white pizza is white doesn't use tomato sauce. A white pizza can be made simply from only just cheese and herbs.  Anyway without further ado Lets start me cooking show! Popeye is hungry! Healthy White Spinach Pizza 45 min

I remember when I first started my blogging it was 10 over years ago. Till this day the blogosphere is still expanding. More and more people are blogging and which is why you are here to start your own! For me, blog is just like a diary and notebook. I only write down memories that I choose to remember, express my own personal thoughts, useful information and personal experiences. Some people like to write about their gloomy life while others may blog about serious news.. Basically, you can write just about anything on a blog. And if you are searching for a free blogging platform then this article is written for you! These three, in my opinion, are my top recommended blogging sites for beginners. Best of all is! they are free! and they are much less likely to face the shut down threat.

It's Time for another Mr Durian's cooking show. Today we will be learning how to cook the Steamed Spicy Pork Ribs with Fermented Soybean Paste. This is one of my "comfort food".. Basically, I can eat this everyday and never get tired of it. The feelings I have for this dish is like how Taiwanese would crave for their (卤肉饭 lu rou fan) braised pork rice. Mmm~ Let my Imagination run wild  Sitting on top of the white steamy rice is the rich flavourful spicy cooked meat, covered by a layer of glistening oil. Mmm...The smell - The soybean paste gravy - The umami flavour! I am already starting to salivate.

I've been talking about SEO on my blog for quite a long time but some are still unsure of what SEO exactly is about.. So for the benefits of those beginners who wants to know more about web page ranking or want to gain more traffics to your blog/site. This is something that you will want to know. The word "SEO" is an acronym that stands for Search Engine Optimization .   First let's breakup the words into two segments and understand what each of them means.
