You should get a camera and write an OCR scanner that automatically scans the receipts as they are printed, then pushes it into a DB so you can view all your issues via a simple web application, replete with tracking, reminders, and then an e-mail integration that e-mails the opener of the issue when you put a comment on the receipt that's printed and rescanned.

- gilleain 5y agoYes the wooden table was the first thing that came to mind. Oddly enough I have recently been drawing geometric designs, and then got the idea to draw them with a drawing ro bot. The current process is : 1. Draw design with ruler and compass 2. Photograph paper 3. Edge-detect image in Inkscape 4. Draw over the edge detected lines and save to SVG 5. Possibly convert to a graph, and run the Chinese postman algorithm over it 6. Convert graph to turtle commands and send to robot So not far off. Also step 2 often involves a wooden surface...
- Spooky23 5y agoThank you for posting this. I remember when i first saw the “I hate Oracle Club”, I laughed to the point my coworkers were worried about me. :)

- iamjackg 5y agoThis reminds me of a comment I read a long time ago about somebody's experience working for a company that had a branch in Japan. They would demand that some spreadsheets be sent as a fax, and then some employee would be tasked with re-typing all that information back into a spreadsheet later on.

- SllX 5y agoSomeone once told me this is how they share source code between departments at some software shops in Japan. I still refuse to believe this is true.
- mushyhammer 5y agoI bet code reviews with markers are fun though.
- potatochup 5y agoI've done code reviews on paper, although mostly when I want to understand something, not for review purposes.
- someweirdperson 5y agoI used to carry a red pen at all times for that purpose. Very useful when people had some hardcopy. That use-case died with the invention of virus-defined wfh.
- rovr138 5y agoI've printed long, MESSY, code, huge functions, to review and cleanup. I loved working with engineers and using their plotter for that. Had a ton of space to actually write things out and draw connections.

- gkop 5y agoI know this is a joke, but Jaron Lanier actually proposes machines communicate through human (?) or VR (?) interfaces. Something like that. I spent 15 minutes searching the web and my library but couldn't find it. I read two books of his, it must be in "Dawn of the New Everything" or "You Are Not a Gadget". I'm fuzzy on the idea, but found it interesting enough that I remember it.
- biryani_chicken 5y agoI once got a phone's speech-recognition system to recognize another's text-to-speech system, just to see how accurate they'd be. And I know one game that has a speech-recognition system to post in chat and then other players can use text-to-speech to read the chat aloud. Fun times.
