Freaking out (not only) mobile app users – xkcd: QR Code

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/07/12

xkcd: QR Code titled “Remember, the installer is watching the camera for the checksum it generated, so you have to scan it using your own phone” is not only freaking out mobile app users (:

The fun starts when putting http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/qr_code.png through a QR decoder…

The QR paradox: is an infinite loop impossible?

Yeah, yeah 1237: QR Code – explain xkcd got it too: ZXing will parse http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/qr_code.png fine, then gets you to http://xkcd.com/1237/scan/ which contains http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/qr_code_loop.png which parses fine.

1213: Combination Vision Test – explain xkcd

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/05/17

LOL, I didn’t know about “XKCD Explained”, but since I didn’t know about synesthesia, I found 1213: Combination Vision Test – explain xkcd.

Now I wonder how they created the colorized picture in an efficient manner (:

Probably would have been just as fast to dim the 0, 4, 6, and 8 digits.

Once every while a Dilbert strip is so great, you *have* to re-publish it.

So here it goes: Wally and testing the new 3-DD printer.

A. P.: How? It’s based on processor’s clock?

Programmer? No… Just let the trainee using the “VI” and asked him to close it…

A. P.: Effective…
