One day an employee came in to work with both his ears bandaged.
When his boss asked him what happened, he explained: "Yesterday I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang and I accidentally answered the iron instead of the phone!"
"Well," the boss said, "that explains one ear, but what about the other?"
"They called back."

Good one reminds me of another joke
A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird sh*t!"
"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."

(?) Not sure if this is the correct software I am looking for
Got myself a barcode scanner for I think USD$18.00 last week from China. Was online ordering stuff with the kids a couple of weeks before that when I noticed them going cheap. The thought was I could get some software and scan in Serial Numbers of items around the house for insurance purposes and also for parts when building computery stuff.
So now that I have the parts for my NAS I thought I should catalogue the parts before putting them into the case. Motherboard, CPU, 2 x 8GB PC3-17000 G-Skill RAM, 3 x Western Digital 2TB Caviar Black HDD and 5 x Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD.
What software have any of you used and recommend? Free preferred but will spend a few bucks if good.

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.

That's all fine, except - if you give him the last one you'll be out of stock...

It depends on what you need.
I have a permanent account with LibraryThing[^] that I got when they were starting out. I scan all my books with their smartphone app and it saves it all online for me.
I've used Collectorz.com[^] to catalog other stuff.

Grr, grr and thrice grr!
I had an interview a week back. It went well and I just got feedback, and the people were impressed and thought I would be great.
The frogging IIa's however have pulled the elphant budget. So no job.
