Meeting 25th September 2025

Unfortunately I was on holiday in sunny Salcombe for this meeting and Iain stepped in with a presentation on Deconstructing TV …


… I’m sure you all enjoyed it. I gather that ideas for future meetings were also discussed. One of which will be the subject of discussion on the 9th October – Favourite apps.

In addition to Iain’s presentation, Phil provided a Buzzword – revealing the mysteries, and machinations of Buzzwords …


Following the meeting Phil posted to the Artificial Intelligence Forum his experience of using ChatGPT to help him revive a sad Christmas Cacti. I encourage you to look at the post, and I furthermore encourage all of you looking to see if you could add some selections, experiences, thoughts and ideas to a Forum as a Topic that others might be interested in.

Munzee, munzee, so good to me

If you want to wow your grandchildren with your knowledge and expertise in using your smartphone, this may be the app for you!
It uses QR codes, those strange square maze-like images that you’re increasingly finding on packaging, books and even television advertising to provide the basis of a treasure-hunt game. Click on the Munzee logo above to get started.
The idea is that you search for “munzees” in your local area, shown on this map thus  …
 
 

There’s a Munzee somewhere here – Devonport, Auckland, NZ

… and when you find them, you record that find on your smartphone by scanning the QR code that is on a lamp post, or even under a bench.
If you then want to get really adventurous you can start “hiding” your own munzees and adding to the fun of others.

Anyway, just a bit of fun that I thought I’d share with you to illustrate how QR Codes can be used.
Scan this one and it’ll take you straight to Wikipedia.
