For this project I am working on (at work) we are planning on using
QR Codes to allow us to encode data onto physical media and then scan it back at a later time (This means print something, then take a picture of it later and retrieve whatever data its linked to). While researching QR Code ("QR code is trademarked by Denso Wave, inc.") I came across another interesting variation of the 2D Barcode,
Shotcode, which is the image shown with this post. I like the shotcode because it doesn't look like a barcode, though it holds much less data (49 bits are available, so 2^49-1 unique codes can be generated). That being said, it would be more than sufficient for our current needs.
I also began working with GTK+, specifically Glade and pygtk, and so far it sucks. I hope that I am just using it incorrectly, because if not, well, damn. Things that one should be able to do (traversing the GUI hierarchy in a logical ie window.element.action() seems to be missing, or maybe I just don't know how to do it). Bleh!
