We've made real progress this week! Let's keep it up!

+ Thanks to James Watts and the dearly-departed Norm Davis, I solved the weighing problem. Scale now reads in IS4C.

+ I found a brute-force way to put items into the DB: suboptimal but allows items not already in the shipped products table to scan.

+ Denise got keys for the cash drawer locally.

TODO (items labeled primarily for identification, but will probably be done in this order):

0 I'll print caps for the POS keyboard and use that for further testing.

1 Hookup all peripherals to lane/dfc3, successfully run the first test transaction through drawer kick.

2 Setup networking so as to run private IP plus ssh, and allow development group to ssh in as needed. (This may/not be feasible with the existing office WRT54Gv5.) This will make lotsa things easier, like doing ...

3 Database work:

* membership table(s) -> MySQL, copy for testing, then move. We can continue to access/report data from Access if we provide IP access to the backend/dfc2: see todo2.

* put into products table all items that we sell that aren't already in there (i.e. that the Wedge doesn't sell).

* QuickBooks integration. Need minimally to have equivalent of the EOD Z-tapes we're currently running.

4 Security work: let's start lining up a consultant now, to be available before we deploy.
