Những tấm biển quảng cáo sai chính tả xuất hiện trên đường phố khiến nhiều người Hà Nội vừa thấy buồn, vừa muốn cười.

Quảng cáo cho gian hàng bán “túi sách” (thay vì “túi xách”) trên phố Bà Triệu (quận Hai Bà Trưng).

Quảng cáo dịch vụ “uốn soăn” tóc tại phố Kim Ngưu (quận Hai Bà Trưng). Từ đúng là “uốn xoăn”.

Một quán phở trên đường Nguyên Hồng (quận Đống Đa) quảng cáo món “mỳ sào” (lẽ ra phải là “mỳ xào”).

Trong trường hợp này phải dùng là “cơm suất” mới chính xác. Quảng cáo trên đường Đê La Thành (quận Đống Đa).

Tương tự, một cửa hàng cầm đồ trên đường Hoàng Hoa Thám (quận Tây Hồ) cũng nhầm lẫn về nghĩa Hán Việt của “xuất”. Từ đúng là “lãi suất”.

Không chỉ sai chính tả tiếng Việt, một số biển quảng cáo tiếng Anh cũng gặp tình trạng tương tự. “Fastfood” (đồ ăn nhanh) đã bị một cửa hàng trên đường Hoàng Quốc Việt (quận Cầu Giấy) nhầm thành “Fast Foot” (“Foot” nghĩa là bàn chân).

Alexey Zakhlestins created php-twitterdata, a small library for working with Twitterdata in PHP. The idea is to embded machine-readable data in twitter that could be parsed and used in other applications. From Twitter Data website :

Twitter Data is a simple, open, semi-structured format for embedding machine-readable, yet human-friendly, data in Twitter messages. This data can then be transmitted, received, and interpreted in real time by powerful new kinds of applications built on the Twitter platform. Here is an example Twitter Data message:

I love the #twitterdata proposal! $vote +1

The part with the dollar sign, $vote +1, is a piece of data embedded using the Twitter Data format.

A sample usage of PHP-TwitterData :

// Create a TwitterData to send : $message = ‘Hello, world! ‘.TwitterData::array_to_TwitterData(array(‘foo’ => ‘bar’)); // Hello, world! $foo bar // Parse TwitterData recieved from Twitter : TwitterData::TwitterData_to_array(‘Hello, world! $foo bar’); // array(‘foo’ => ‘bar’);

Twitter applications could be more fun with TwitterData especially that you could easily parse and use data embdded in tweets directly in your application. Be sure to check Alexey’s post, he provides details on working with the library and using TwitterData_Message, TwitterData_Frame and TwitterData_Tuple classes. The library is released under a MIT-style license.

Real-time search is so hot these days. Almost everyone is getting into the real-time search bandwagon including Facebook which just rolled out its improved real-time search tool. But ok, yes we could take this as Facebook’s take on Twitter’s real-time search functionality.

So according to the Facebook blog,  we can now search up to the last 30 days of our Facebook News Feed containing status updates, photos, links, videos and notes shared by our Facebook friends.  It will also dig into the Facebook activities of other Facebook members who opted to share their Facebook content to everyone, even if they are not  our friends.  In addition, the Facebook search results page would also continue to contain people’s profiles, Facebook pages, groups and application.

Of course Facebook’s search engine will still give you all those information outright the moment you hit the search button.  You need to click the search filters on the left side of the Facebook search results to filter your results.

Web search is also still enabled, and in case you’re not aware and you’re interested to know, Facebook’s web search is powered by Bing.

A recent trend among many professional photographers is the use of Lens Flare. Simple in theory, it doesn’t take a lot of advanced knowledge to add this technique to your list of photographic tricks. A few considerations will help you achieve your best Lens Flare capabilities without breaking into a sweat.

1. Shoot into the Sun: Lens Flare is caused by strong rays of light directly hitting your lens and causing a slight sun burst. Capitalizing on the direction of your light is the key to capturing Lens Flare.

2. Think Silhouette: Place your subject in front of you, with their back to the sun. Your subject will be backlit as though you were capturing a silhouette.

3. Use Manual Mode: Your camera will expose the scene for the total amount of light in the photo. If you follow the camera’s metering, you will be left with a silhouette as it tries to compensate for the amount of light. Shooting on Manual will enable you to over-compensate for the backlight, so your subject is perfectly lit – even with the over exposed background.

4. Shoot at an angle: Because you want an image with Lens Flare [and not simply over exposure], you need to remember one thing: Camera position to the sun. This will largely depend on what time of day you shoot. In the mornings or evenings, you will have an easier time of shooting directly into the sun. But at mid day this changes. You will need to position yourself fairly low to the ground in order to shoot into the sun. Typically, 11am or 2pm is most conducive to mid day Lens Flare.

5. Watch your focus: Your camera typically will focus on the object best lit in your frame. Shooting into the sun will make it more challenging for your camera to focus on your subject. You may need to switch from auto focus to manual focus.
