Excel ? Or do you own a _lot_ of valuable things?
/Edit : the barcode scanner replaces the keyboard, by sending keystrokes to the operating system. In general, these are the numbers on the bar code, but you can usually program how this should be interpreted and sent. So you need no "special" software for handling the scanner.

Will Excel store the barcode or serial number from the scan?

No, it's really for tracking computer parts as they are more likely to bust under warranty and I can tell what it is before pulling the computer apart.
Also I don't plan on being robbed, but if I was I'd be elephanted if I could tell them anything useful on the stolen goods.
It's a 127cm Samsung Plasma TV, no I don't know what elephanting model it is let alone the serial number.
That'd be the discussion with the police.

Most modern barcode scanners pretend to be a keyboard by default, so you can scan the article number directly into you favorite program: Excel should work well, or Word, or throw up a quick DB app in your preferred language. Most of the actual inventory packages I have seen over the years have been total overkill for a simple household inventory - and I know one electronic design company whose entire inventory, including pick- and build- lists were done on Excel using macros...

Thanks for the barcode scanner tip, but your recommendation of using Excel or Word isn't flashy or sexy. I want on screen pizzaz when using my shiny new barcode scanner. I mean really, it's all about justifying the purchase of said barcode scanner cause you just know I'll geta You're such a wanker comment from the Missus.

I don't follow your twitter feed but it sure seems like you are interviewing all the time. Perhaps you should just keep a job once you get it.

When is the code I write mine?
I work for a company that creates solutions for manufacturing. Recently, we had a 500 lb gorilla customer request a code walk-through. I'm fine with that... but then they asked for a copy of the code.
My boss was okay with giving them the code because we were paid dearly for the project. However, like most of the developers I know, I have a set of "helper" libraries that I have developed over the years. Many of them were started prior to this employer and I'll take copies of them with me when I go on to my next employer. They will continue to evolve over my career.
So, when we sold the code, I insisted that only the compiled .dlls of the helper files be given to them. They can have their soltion specific code but not my libraries. My boss was understanding and we moved forward. However, if he wasn't understanding and was a jerk-boss, do I have any legal standing over the ownership of this code?
Thanks for your help!

Not really. Developed on the job for the job belongs to the job.

Yes I second this. This is what every company tells me when I join them. In fact, we have some strict guidelines not to use other companies libs without their permission. The library could have been developed by you in your last company but still they wouldn't encourage you to use this for your current work inside the office premises, PC. Unless the License info says it's completely free for commercial distribution.

That's actually a law in my country. At least for 50 years, then it becomes public domain. Fun fact, the law is 30 years old and granted protection from the date it was published, so no code has ever falen in public domain yet =p

Depends on your country, and on your contract.
I, for instance, have no property about what I develop for/in my current company, e.g. the company owns everything. I cannot take that code over to other company, as you did (well, you could say you have "rewritten it" in the new company, so this is highly hypocritical anyway).
