    I has a url that points to the site I plan to post my PAX pictures and contact info.

    If you have an iPhone or other phone that can read qrcodes then you will be able to read it.

    Just because I seem to still be in the 'no pictures of physical buttons' category in the OP. I may have been not-noticed.

    Cool! I'll see you there!

    Um, so what does it say? For those of us that aren't barcode nerds.

    Oh! If you don't have such a phone either, ASPose has a set of components with a demo that lets you scan barcodes off of images in a variety of formats. I only know about it because we happen to use ASPose to do all the barcode generation/reading for everything in our company. It's not the best component in the world, but it gets the job done =)

    I don't have ASPose installed on my home machine, but when I get to work I'll scan it again and post up what it says (unless Archeious objects to spoiling the contents =) )

    Ha... never thought I'd see this here. We use Aspose too for many things. We argued over how to pronounce the name... ASS-poze vs. ass-po-ZAY... so they sent us an mp3 of the original creator pronouncing it. We were all wrong. He's from Australia. He says uh-SPOZE. One of my developers wants everyone to say ASS-POSSY though...

    Thread should now continue on-topic. :P

    Ah, it's a small world! =)=) I always figured it was ASP ose (Asp like the snake, ose like... something odd they added so it sounded like a product name =) ). Interesting! Aye, back on topic I guess, but it's good to know that we're not alone in using it. =)

    Anyways, great button Fuzzirella! =)

    Or you could be like me and work with barcode reading devices for a living, and just use one of them to read it.

    I think we have a physical reader somewhere in the office, but I would've had to print out the page for it to scan correctly. =(

    Sorry... I get carried away talking about barcodes. =) I can't help it! I'm also excited by the fact that I'm not the only barcode nerd out there. I thought it was just some kind of wierd obsession... now I know there's more like me out there! =)

    Faces are hard, I was looking more for a bag or article of clothing (like a hat!) that you may be wearing so we can find eachother without requiring mass amounts of buttons to be present.
