I remember reading a few years ago that he had to put together some Kickstarter type of campaign to raise money for cover his medical issues because the guy was essentially broke. For someone who had a recurring role on a Star Trek series, that's downright embarrassing.
[Edit]
Just to be clear, I mean Paramount, not him, should be embarrassed. As an actor, the guy was probably just grateful to get any work at all.

I'm in need of a system that will track a box through different locations. For instance, I have a box of documents, and I want to know its current location. So far, I've thought of creating a QR code label for the box. Then we can have employees scan this code from different locations. But how would this help if the same QR code is being scanned from each site?
Any other ideas? Thanks!

I worked at a company that did exactly that with Mail. Hit me up if you wanna discuss.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

The scanning station appends/prepends a location code to the bar code. That gives you a unique Location/Document id.

What problem do you actually have?

You could ask Amazon.
I'd rather be phishing!

|
The box/qr code is in a database, each time the qr code is scanned, the location and time are entered in the database.
I'd rather be phishing!

You could also eliminate the employee (unreliable creatures they are) and use RFID tags and auto scanners in the in/out points of a location.

One thing with RFID we had trouble with: every time an item even shifted position a little bit within a location, the dang thing would get pinged again. Obvious ways to deal with that, but still a pita.

To find this system you must look outside the box ... and, think about where on CodeProject is the appropriate place to post a request like this.

Firstly, this is the lounge!
Secondly, anything that starts "I have an idea for a project" generally doesn't end well, in my experience. Sounds like your company has a problem with knowing where documents are. Fine; then analyse the problem, the business, the people, and come up with a solution. (extreme e.g. don't move the documents, move the people who need them; people generally know where they are!) If the solution involves IT, then ask a question in the appropriate forum.

Johnny's cover of Trent Reznor's "Hurt" does it for me: [^]

When there's someone ahead of me on the path, I prefer to simply enjoy the view.

How is that different from bad songs?

Are you reading my mind!? 
I just got this in my head as I was watching Peaky Blinders, with Nick Cave music, who Johnny Cash also covered, which got me to Hurt.
And I was thinking I should listen to it and about five minutes later I read your post.
I don't much like NIN's original though.

with respect to Mr. Cash, this is my favorite cover of that song:
Hurt - Sad Kermit - YouTube[^]
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Interesting.
If the Muppets can re-do Bohemian Rhapsody, they could redo this. It's too bad they could only get a bad Kermit impersonator.

Too late. I watched/listened to it (again) this past weekend after watching "Walk The Line" (again).

I was never a fan of Johnny Cash.
I never really liked any of Johnny's Songs either until I heard this on the car radio whilst coming home from work.
It was just after it was released.
It is one extraordinary powerful thing. Just love it.
Much better than the original.
