I went to subway this evening and I saw an advertisement says: "scan the QR code to receive a subway card".

so I did the following:
1- took a picture for the code.
2- because my mobile camera has very high resolution, I had to reduce the size to 100x100. so I can see it.
3- reducing the image size made it a bit foggy.
4- I wrote the following simple program:


amazing, it worked!!!!.... even though the image got a bit corrupted.

basically,
you can turn any text into QR code image and you can take a QR code image and unlock the text hidden in it.

the image can be captured by any camera.

Basjak is just being a playful, curious programmer.

When presented with new cool stuff, you just gotta play with it.

Although this has caused just a few distractions from 'real' work, I generally benefit and learn from 'just because I can' programming.

Cheers,
