| _____________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 9:42am - dee.crayon ""] wait dont you have to be some sort of legit of business to have a bar-code scanner? |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 9:44am - the_reverend ""] nope, $75 online. http://www.pricewatch.com/m/mn.aspx?i=241&f=1 and then all you need is a label printer that accepts a font and you can make barcodes. that's what re-code.com was about. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 9:52am - succubus ""] wow..useful! not |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 9:54am - dee.crayon ""] bah, where can i buy one of those gadgets that removes alarm devices from clothing? o_O |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 11:16am - Joe/NotCommon ""] all my releases since Kevorkian's Angels have barcodes |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 11:18am - dee crayon ""] hey joe NO ONE CARES! O_o |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:27pm - armageddonday ""] I do, I hate barcodes, there's one split LP that I absolutely worship: Doom/No Security on Peaceville, each band has one side of the cover for artwork and they put the barcode on the No Security side, it looks so wrong. I agree it will be more helpfull for the store to have one, but it's way to fucking expensive, so fuck it. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:34pm - the_reverend ""] expensive? what are you talking about?!? scanner: $75 barcode printer: $65-$135 then you just plug the $75 USB scaner into a computer. if a CD/lp has a barcode, you are set. the cost of making a whole db-driven system could be done for about $500 if you know what you are doing and use a web-interface for the scanning. use apache/php/mysql and there you go. I'm making something just like that for my radio station. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:35pm - the_reverend ""] the system that i'm going to make will 1) track on-air playlists 2) allow the music dept to scan a cd and enter in the number of checks a release gets 3) send cd info digital to peoples stereos and more |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:35pm - dirteecrayon ""] i was just being a dick to joe! i think bar code scanners are amazing!!!! |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:38pm - the_reverend ""] I'm betting youve never actually though about it before. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:38pm - armageddonday ""] Yeah there's no room for that shit at the store right now anyway, maybe next year after the tax refund we might get one. The first time we got a quote for it, it was $800 but I'm talking about a POS system (I think that's how it's called)...and there was some story about having to pay for the barcode stickers too...I should probably look into this again. That would simplify the inventory...it's just a bit too fancy for the store I think. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 12:51pm - the_reverend ""] I thought you had a computer at the store? plug something in the back and the label printer for $65 is tiny... when I get it all set up, I'll show you some time. I'm SUPER SUPER happy about the scanner I got. you plug it in to the USB port, point it at a bar-code and the number scans onto the screen whereever the cursor is. printing a bar-code is just printing the some serial # in a particular font. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:16pm - dreadkill ""] ha, kentucky fried movie |
| __________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:20pm - succubus ""] yeah but it no longer plays so i haven't been able to watch it |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:34pm - dreadkill ""] boo to movies that don't play anymore. i can't get the neurosis dvd to play on my mac in os x. i have to switch to 9 to watch it, so i never watch it anymore. :( |
| ________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:40pm - Hooker ""] If you scan the barcode tattoo on the back of my neck it'll come up as a $20 gift certificate to Hot Topic. -some busted goth chick |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:44pm - armageddonday ""] Rev, I think what we really need is a point of sale system and that cost a lot, the barcode isn't necessary unless we get the POS... |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:49pm - the_reverend ""] ooohh.. see, I could write all that stuff myself. I'm just using it for inventorying. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 2:57pm - succubus ""] hahahahahaahaha |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 3:19pm - the_reverend ""] nope, barcode39 is what I'm using, I think there are about 20 different barcode fonts... Code 39, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, EAN-13/8, EAN 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, ABC Codabar, Code 32, MSI, UK Plessey, IATA 2 of 5, Code 2 of 5 (China Postal Code), Industrial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 11, UCC128, ISBN, ISSN. I might actually develop and deploy a CD db in 2 radio stations. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 3:55pm - dreadkill ""] this should become a kentucky fried movie thread. my favorite part is when the colonel kills all those kentucky bastards. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 3:57pm - the_reverend ""] nope, fist full of yen or catholic highschool girls in trouble. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 4:00pm - dreadkill ""] actually, i lied. the only part of kentucky fried movie i have ever seen is the scene with the white guy who goes into a black neighborhood, yells "niggers!", then runs away. i think it is kentucky fried movie. am i mistaken? |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 4:31pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] I liked whenever an anchor took an arrow. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 30,2004 5:24pm - JayTUS ""] Are you printing new barcodes? Because most record labels punch the barcode before they send a CD to someone... |
