Oh so it is!
Will have to let the birthday card department know of this upcoming important event.
Oh and yes for the black stuff to was down the sweet stuff.

Tis the day after my birthday... I believe some sweet fancies, meeting all you fine folk and tri birthday celebrations before class may be in order.

And given the apparently impending snowness, perhaps we should all arrive en velos d'hiver.

Its a bit early to start drinking, but count me in!

Count me in too.

Statutory reminder -
For newcomers (ALL welcome) -
"Normally from 7.30 to 8.30 for most folk."
Some people hang on past nine.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Some people will be outside so they don't have to de-layer -
Or to admire other bikes...

...or to save themselves locking-faff.

As usual I will say I will try and probably not make it given the Army level of preparation the family now takes for morning school (I miss the days of afternoon nursery when I could leave before anyone else woke up)
What time will people be there until I may not be able to make it until 8 or even 9Posted 12 years ago # -
I normally leave at about 8.30 and I'd say most folk are gone by then but it does vary. Not very helpful I know!
Posted 12 years ago # -
Yep, I'm about 8.30 at the latest - this job is a little more demanding about getting in at 9 than my old place (after all of our redundancies were announced - occasionally wandered in at 9.30 and later after that).
Posted 12 years ago # -
I am more relaxed, no one else will be in till 11..
Posted 12 years ago # -
Unlikely then... (new name - like it?)
Posted 12 years ago # -
I'll most likely be along around 9ish, if anyone is left (I have to go by PY anyway). Will try to get there earlier if possible, but that is still not likely to be before 8.30.

...and I was sad enough to scan that.
Hope I'll be there if I can sneak out without waking up any of the children.
May have to go a slightly circuitous route so I can have a mile 2k coffee

Good work Step, last time I saw you there you were on your 1k coffee!

"...and I was sad enough to scan that"
But bold enough to admit it!
I'm sure the existence of QR codes divides people.
'what's the point', 'must be missing something' - and total indifference.
Read this yesterday.
Seems to veer between 'what's the point' and 'useful marketing idea, if thought through properly'.
Also suggests that 'most people' expect a reward - discount voucher etc.
I'm sure people who have noticed the QR codes that have recently appeared on Edinburgh's bus stops don't expect a discount!

Of course it is not possible to scan them if you are viewing the page from your mobile. Unless you can get the scanner to read from a webpage somehow.
Posted 12 years ago # -
We only use them as a call to action that actually gives folk something in return. Best we've found is as a direct download link for our app which people can drive by scan at events. (sorry about the ad, CH, illustrating a point and the foody folk here will quite like the apps)

I was at the Glasgow Science centre and thought to myself - they limit the info they put on the walls about the different exhibits - why not also give a QR code to more info online so parents can wander about reading more about the bits they were interested in while the kids run into exhibits and break themselves

"Of course it is not possible to scan them if you are viewing the page from your mobile. Unless you can get the scanner to read from a webpage somehow."
Can be done 'easily' on an iPhone. (Easily as in - takes a bit of time and probably not worth the effort).
Take a screenshot (apparently not possibly on some other phones) then use QR Reader (available on other platforms) which can read from 'photos'.

Another popular mobile OS allows you to either save the image from the page then re-open it in a QR-reading utility to decode it, or (if that seems long-winded) long-press the image, choose "share via..." then invoke the QR-decoding tool.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Press and save is also an option on iPhones - I was thinking of when a QR code was part of an image/advert rather than a separate item (OK less common!).
"then re-open it in a QR-reading utility"
Some apps don't have this option.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Hmm.
Aha.
Google Goggles (launched from long-press then share) just managed to find the codes concealed within Stepdoh's advert, though it had an irritating little 'scanning' animation where a blue line sweeps over the image, for which it loses points.Posted 12 years ago # -
Jeez, they are probably SR codes in many of those cases, think a lot of it is down to software though.
Since the 7.5 upgrade Windows Phone has it built in to search now takes about half a second to identify and read the codes even if the camera is moving slightly.
Useless since we don't have a winpho version of the app, but hey ho!

"takes about half a second to identify and read the codes even if the camera is moving slightly."
Don't know about Windows...
QR reading software has definately improved over past year.
Not only can it handle movement, some apps manage quickly even when camera not pointed 'full square'.
Needs a 'reasonable' camera - which is probably most 'phones less than two years old.

I'll try and make it but might be on foot.
