The three paths seeking a final project have finally met at an intersection. And at the crossroads was BlueVoice, as coined by one of the group mempers. This project that the three of us will attempt to successfully develop is a mobile application that, if installed on both cellphones, would enable the two users to talk with each other through bluetooth - for free! But the distance is limited however. I've heard that the latest bluetooth technology can wirelessly connect phones that are up to 100 meters away from each other. That's not bad. But it is definitely expensive.
We can test it, however, with the available cellphones that have a bluetooth range of 10 meters. If, a big IF, it works, it may also work with the 100-meter bluetooth range.
When it was first suggested to me, I was skeptic. But when my co-members assured that it is possible, I conceded. An engineering teacher even suggested some ideas on voice transmission via bluetooth, which convinced me even more that we can do this.
I'm a little nervous about this. But I feel excitement too. I just hope that this excitement wouldn't be squashed when, just in case, we would realize at the worst possible time (like on the next semester) that the project is implausible. We, especially the skeptic I, would just have to stick with optimism and determination to fuel BlueVoice's successful development.
We still haven't written a formal project proposal, which is due soon. So right now I cannot really say that BlueVoice is it. But I do hope that we will be taking this one.

First Day High! Kinda...
The countdown clock to graduation day has finally started to tick last Tuesday. I just really hope that the clock would end on time and would not delay. But our group still hasn't settled on a final project! At least we did narrow down our options.
No Automated Lumber Species Recognition. Image processing is a field too risky for us to experiement. We feel that a school year is not enough research time for such project. Actually, it would only take less than five months (which comprise the second sem) to program the software; the five months before that, which is this semester, are reserved for proposal and intensive research. Our grades are at stake here!
No Gunbound-like mobile game with networking capabilities. Well, at least for me. I don't want to venture into mobile application development. It's like everyone wants to take a mobile software project because cellphones, especially those MMS-capable, seem to be perpetually the "in-thing." Whatever...
No Sudoku puzzle mobile game version. It might be rejected by the moderator for being simple and not-so-challenging for a group of three. But we may toughen up the rules so that we would be forced to develop another algorithm to solve the puzzle.
But right now, we're poking the Automated Tournament Matching suggested by a Computer Center staff. I still don't know the details so I have to meet and discuss about it with this guy. I heard that the manual tournament matching is tedious, so automating it would be a delight to the slothful modern people. What can we do? The computers are invented to do our bidding and they are here to stay - and keep on upgrading to keep us sedentary.
I can feel school again! And it's not a good feeling. The first two school days has burned a lot of money for photocopying requirements. Ahhhh... the smell of photocopies fresh out of the xerox machine. I miss it. But I loathe it even more.

Blogthings Test
www.blogthings.com
Hey! This site is nice. I discovered this while I was really bored, surfing in Friendster. It's the Fourth Year enrollment day. I have to wait until afternoon for my freakin' scholarship form. Got nothin' else to do but wait. And I'm not patient!
So I tried to entertain myself by taking a few tests in this website. Some results were shocking and exagerrated. But some were kinda true. It's a good thing that the site generates an automatic code of each test result so I can post it here...
............................................
WHAT'S YOUR RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY?
The Truth: Wow! That's too much! I'm not an atheist. But I'm not religious nor even spiritual. Somewhere between. But I'm more inclined in believing in God because health studies show that believers, especially devotees, have longer life-span . The reason for this is perhaps not the existence of a higher being that rewards them with such, but more on the optimism that faith brings.
............................................
WHAT'S YOUR MONSTER NAME?
The Truth: Creepy Professor? Why? I don't even have plans to be a teacher. I like M&M's. But I rarely go to the movies. We buy/rent pirated DVDs. The hell with anti-piracy morons! And I don't harrass vegetarians! I haven't even met one. I'm even considering to be one. In the far future. Hehe...
............................................
WHAT'S YOUR JAPANESE NAME
Reaction: Whatever...
............................................
PENIS NAME GENERATOR
Reaction: Huh?! Why?..
............................................
HOW SCARY ARE YOU?
The Truth: HAHAHA! Of course I'm not scary. I'm a good boy. When you're nice, I'm nice. When you're a bitch, especially with annoyingly THICK lips, I'm a demon!
............................................
HOW OPEN-MINDED ARE YOU?
The Truth: 72% is not bad. I cannot be too liberated with some topics, like drug abuse, abortion and war. But at least I know and am proud for being open-minded, not like others I know. I noticed too that all of the narrow/close-minded people I've met (some of them are actually my "friends(?)") are really stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! DIE, stupid!
............................................
HOW SINFUL ARE YOU?
The Truth: Wow. The statistics are kinda true. Anger/Hatred is my most intense sin. I throw it at lot of people. But I can easily forgive. But there are those who are unforgivable. And I wish them death...

WHAT'S YOUR RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY?
| You are an Atheist |
 When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what's known and proven. You don't need religion to solve life's problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. |

HOW OPEN-MINDED ARE YOU?
| You Are 72% Open Minded |
 You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself. |
