Hahahaha … I believe many people has been deceived by my previous post ‘How I Met You and Your Mother’. I can see it here by reading the server log :))
*read the first part – ‘How I Met You and Your Mother’ here
As a lecturer, If I want to give my students tasks I should make it interesting for them 😀 There’s a challenge to do your task but you don’t feel it because you’re happy to do it 😉
To prevent it having the same title like one of the popular TV series, I have decide to make the title bit different. Also, I’ll need to thank to @radityadika for inspiration on chapter “How I met you not your mother” on his book “Marmut Merah Jambu” 😉
It can’t be denied that secrecy has been part of our life. You know someone and want to ask him/her out but you don’t want others to know about it. Or probably your messages are in DEVCON 1 and you don’t want others to know it ;)) Well, these are how ‘some’ people sent their messages:
1. Using QR-Code
QR-Code can be used to sent; Text, URL, Call, SMS, vCard its very easy to use but the content is not encrypted. People with a common cellphone and qr-code translator software can read it.
Site reference to generate QR-Code:
– http://goqr.me/
– http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
Most of those sites are using Google Chart API to generate on-the-fly QR-Code,
