So, for all you following my adventures, I am currently working on my Windows Service. I am attempting to have a windows service that monitors a certain folder, checking it using a timer every x seconds. When the folder is populated with files, the service moves those files and enters data into our business system and our production system. I am hoping to make this service flexable enough so that it can be used at other photo labs and even with other business and production systems. (Or none at all.) To be able to do this I want to allow the user of the service to be able to select the database of each of the systems. But I want to make it easy. I may need to cut out the flexibility for now, but we'll see. This is my first Windows Service.
Updates
Ok, things have settled down. I hope my dad get's over his pneumonia soon, he's running out of things to do. I updated the colors of links in the blog. I don't know if people could see them. My GBPVR and MVP setup rocks. Here are some of the modules I've got running: Recording Of Course, so that I can record shows Weather We have basic cable, so we don't get the weather channel. This gives us local weather. Music Plays all the stored music to our stereo. Pics We have Gigs worth of pics. Now we can slideshow them to our TV. They aren't even on the GBPVR server, they're on the Linux Server! Web Music Streaming radio stations, so I can listen to my CT stations from PA! Caller ID I can see who's calling when I'm in the middle of a movie so I don't have to get up and check. Cinema I can see listings of what's playing at the local theaters. All of this on our TV, with one remote!!! Sweet!
