Well.. my company has been gettin nailed lately with work and problems.. so I.. the 2 month employee, get to write the touch screen cash register program for a restaurant.. and the real kicker is that this model register and backoffice software is in beta 😀 my project will be the 2nd restaurant in the US to use such a register 😀 its pretty damn exciting ... last week i sat in on a 5 hour meeting with the owner and someone from my office going over exactly how it would flow and look
 
Put a back door in it, so we can load SETI on to it 🙂 WU WU WU!! 😀
 
lol.. actually.. the units themselves are non-pc based... thats the beauty of a panasonic touch screen.. tougher to crash.. however.. the backoffice pc... which is used to control the group of registers.. is sitting in my office right now cracking ECCP-109 untill it gets installed in a month.. theres always at least one high powered machine or two that i can load eccp on... as a service too.. cuz we use winnt and win2k 😀
 
Yup, lead developer on two products at my old empoyer (MicroCase) and of the main product of my new employer (Respondus). Being lead is fun, even though you work harder (or at least think harder 🙂 ) than the rest of your team. I'd never trade being lead at a small company for being a tiny cog at a big company like Microsoft.
 
bob,
how are you tying the touchscreens to the backoffice server? are they running linux client shells or what?

The reason I ask is i'm thinking of creating a touchscreen application that ties to a server.

actually they run off of a rom chip... with ram chips in em for data... pass data through a network with a hub to the pc.... with softcoded and hardcoded ip information... all proprietary panasonic stuff
 
I basically was the point person from our company with the vendor to design our Oracle database, GUI interface, migration of old data etc. It was kinda sickening at times that I was having 3 hr. conversations daily with the vendor (it was a set-price contract, so they weren't milking us for extra $). Not bad for a (then) 21 yr. old straight outta college. 🙂
