Just thought I'd post an amusing, KixGolf related note..

I'm working on a warehouse inventory project - developed a utility that runs on a tablet or notebook to perform a physical inventory count. The script is written in Kix (what else), and the user has to scan two barcodes - one for the item (we can't change) and one for the location (we define). It was important to not accept the item barcode in the location field, so - I implemented a modified version of the last KixGolf's Luhn function. We generate a check value and print the barcode labels that are placed in the inventory racks. When it's scanned, the luhn check is performed to verify that we have a valid location ID before any network/SQL connections are made. This saves some time and overhead and insures that the right data is placed in the appropriate fields.

Thanks, Allen!

Glenn


I too had to come up with a quick bar code scanner program for a tablet pc. I had some user input bar codes that were attached to the tablet, simple things like yes/no, enter, cancel.... since the tablet pc was not touch sensitive.

It worked out well, and was able to save the poor shipping folks a heap load of time.

I came up with a design that used a Tablet PC along with a wearable ring scanner but CorpIT would not go for it. I too was planning a cheatsheet of common barcode commands laminated to the underside of the tablet.

CorpIT wanted to go with a gun type scanner running WinCE. The display was too small to see and the keyboard was ABCDE instead of QWERTY. The warehouse guys refused to use it.

Actually, by posting the announcement in this thread I think that you've entered a contract that commits all first-born descendants to being named after a member of the MM club and participating in the ritual of KiXgolf when (s)he reaches the Age of Coding.

Congratulations, Arend - best wishes to you and your wife on the delivery of the latest coder!

3kg 1oz is pretty healthy, if not a tad confusing. ;\)

Mixing kilos and ounces in the same sentence... might think he's a drug dealer... you buy pot by the kilo and sell it by the ounce.

Anyway... congrats on the 6.6 pound baby. Hope mom and baby are well.
