Nope. Tried it in Opera and IE, it’s just an image which doesn’t give a clicking-point for the cursor. I can read your URL, but I still don’t see how it comes from that grid. Which makes my eyes go funny…
You can’t work it out unless you have a special programme on your mobile or your computer to read this kind of thing. There’s no way you could work out what it says just be looking at the image, I don’t think.
It’s a 2D bar code that can hold far more information than a normal bar code and you’re right you need a ap on your mobile so that you can take a picture of the code and convert the information into text.

OK. Last time I saw four letters. Now I see something that looks like a barcode. I have no idea what you’re ranting about.

Pam, it reads in QR code:
“Ever wonder why some commenters bother, I mean, what’s the point of just turning up to say how wrong you think a blogger is.”

what ever it it is it’s triggering a migraine!

I can’t see any letters. Is QR code a form of Klingon?

Tony, you can make it out from the page address when you click on the image, and read the full URL:

You mean it is not an ink blot test?

Sorry about that. I wasn’t just letting out my inner geek. I’ll try not to let it happen again.
