rhubarb media

I first met mark at a video shoot for the movie documentary “The End of Suburbia” talking about the peak oil issue in 2005. From there we connected through Door Knob Ads where we hired him to do some design work. After I left DKA and started Rhubarb Media we hired Mark as a freelancer to help build our website (yep, the flash site still there). Once we launched our site we got more requests for web and thus had to hire Mark! I need to count, but I think we’re pushing 50 sites developed in the 5 years Rhubarb has done web – and Mark has touched most of them. Aside from his code ninja skills, his sense of humour and laid backness will be dearly missed. As I stated in my Facebook post, we’ve lost a developer, but not a friend. Keep in touch Mark. Our prayers are with you as you continue on your journey! And if you ever change your mind and tell yourself “why did I ever leave Barrie and Rhubarb…” there’s a bouncy ball chair here waiting for you. The Creative Space would like to offer you a life-time membership. Anytime you’re in town and need a place to work – “your desk awaits.”

If you use bit.ly to shorten URLs, you can use that same short URL to generate a QR code by simply adding .qrcode to the end of the shortened URL.

Example: http://bit.ly/9R0c1v is the short URL to a YouTube video
http://bit.ly/9R0c1v.qrcode will send you to a page with the QR code as a PNG image that you can download and put on whatever you want. When scanned, that QR code sends you to the same YouTube video.

Advanced: Adding ?s=1000 will send you a scaled-up / high-res version of the image for print (1000px by 1000px).
Example: http://bit.ly/9R0c1v.qrcode?s=1000 You can, of course, change the number to be higher or smaller per your need.

Over the last week The Creative Space has moved from 89 Dunlop Street E to 12 Dunlop Street E and as we are a tenant we moved as well. Make sure to drop by to see our new digs.
