In other words, I you or someone else on the list comes up with an open-source
or cheap solution, we can all benefit! </span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">OK, I'll be happy
to make one for free for anyone to use. If you remember, a while
back, I offered to make a 'car maintenance log' for anyone here that wanted
it. While no one bit, I did make it, I called it "BOLTRAK"</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">You put in your
cars, part numbers for oil filters, oil weight and capacities, etc. Then
you add a record each time you work on that vehicle. It can record
time and money spent, vehicle miles the work was performed at, etc.</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I'm sure it can
use some polish. It's not perfect, since I'm the only one using it, but
I like it.</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">NOTE- Like me,
none of my software is pretty. It's 'brutish' at best, but, also
like me, it gets the job done.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">If there really
is an interest, I'll be happy to make a web based tool inventory application.
A big advantage would be that it would be 100% off site (your site)
so if the unthinkable happened, the data is safe. (of course, I can email
you an excel spreadsheet anytime you want.)</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">So, just email
me the features you think are important, and I'll put it together if there
is enough interest.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">What I think a
record would need...</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Tool</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Brand</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Date purchased</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Amount</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Where purchased
(is that worth having?)</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Photo?</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Copy of receipt?</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">-Where stored?</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I could also do
an import if you have a spreadsheet already, just send it to me and I can
import it into your tool vault.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I could also build
in an 'wife total.' Meaning that you would click on a total money
spent button, but it would only show you a predefined percentage of the
actual value that you set. IE, you set a 50% value. Anytime
you hit the 'total spent' button, it would only show you 50% of the value.
This would be to prevent domestic violences of course! 8>)</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Any other ideas?</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Again, it would
be web based (not platform dependant) and 100% free all the time.</span>
