Way to print barcodes to track moving box contents?
#19
Now, w/ smartphones essentially being barcode readers, there's a whole world of opportunity. I've written several enterprise level databases that include various inventory and barcode features... might be time cull out some chunks of the code and morph it into mini apps for smartphones... though if I were DD, I'd photo and list the contents of each on the computer and assign each box a corresponding number to it on the the list, and then bad handwriting and all, write that number the appropriate box. Depending on the "security" desired, I might then make a master list/cheat sheet of the all the boxes w/ a note on which boxes are for which rooms, and a general comment about them, "heavy", "fragile", "liquids", "perishable", etc., and keep that list in my pocket or on my phone... I agree w/ keeping as little info as possible on the outside of the boxes, so as not to encourage prying eyes. At the new location, I would put up signs in the rooms where all the boxes go, then refer to the laptop while unpacking and moving into the new digs.
