I am a fan of qrcodes despite their obvious flaws they are very convenient at transfering small amounts of data. Which conveniently is just enough to hold a link reliably. Perhapes you'd like to send a message to a friend via the internet but don't want it persisting forever on sombodies server. The first piece of qrcode goodness i have is One Time Secrets (OTS) by luzifer. This app does what it says on the tin and allows the upload of data that can be sent to someone else via the service and self destructs without a trace. I find this quite handy for transfering files between my computer and my mobile phone without having to plug it in. Check it out here repo mirror source
I've added some qrcode generators i found. I'm serving an instance from this website in case the upstream repos get pulled. The first is qr-image by HughChen. This does an awesome job at overlaying a qrcode of a provided image for some great customisation options. It can be found here (mirror) (source). The second is dithered-qr-codes by Andrew Taylor. This generator is mind blowing and creates a dithered represtation of an uploaded images in to a qrcode. It's so good i can't even tell that it is a qrcode if it wasn't for the markers. It can be found here (mirror) (source)
While on the subject of qrcodes, i also found a qrcode truetype font that uses unicode magic to create valid qrcodes from text. Check it out at https://github.com/jimparis/qr-font or download the fonts directly qrfont-1L.ttf qrfont-2L.ttf qrfont-3L.ttf (source)

I guess this is the re-re-re-re-re-release of this website. I keep oscilating between CMS' because they irk me in one way or another. Back to plain old HTML it is and put up for the world to see how terrible I am at it. Perhaps this is the time it sticks. But as I always say "I don't do frontend"
