Gak - so many ideas swimming around in my head
-
A friend of mine that owns a speed shop wants to have a car show where cars are awarded trophies based on popular vote (instead of being judged). I was thinkin' on it and figured it would be relatively simple to allow people to vote with their phones using QR codes. The QR codes would be encoded to got to a website that casts their vote. Easy-peasy. No voting slips to count, no awkward writing on said slips. Just take a photo and bingo! I was writing code for work, and wanted to generate some docs based on the XML comments. I found ImmuDoc but the docs it generates aren't easily used in a Word document, so I've started wiring a new WPF app called DocuMentor that will do give the programmer the ability to generate docs on one or more selected assemblies, and target either MS Word or HTML format (my boss wants the docs in Word format). Of course, there's my SQL Agent service, and an app that will resize all images in a folder, and then transfer them to a web site, and my wife wants a slide-show app for her next board meeting that plays music, videos, and displays images (fortunately, I have something like this already written). I'm gonna be busy at home for months.

But lots of IP and/or Mac address and/or social-network-ID checking, because certain tiny minds think it's clever and/or important to "cheat", thereby depriving the system of any value at all.

Well, I have something working. It uses a QR Reader app to scan the QR code, which is coded to take the user to a URL. The web page creates a file for every vote, and the file name contains the IP address of the voter. I'm hoping this works to uniquely ID each voter to mitigate multiple votes from the same person for the same car. If that works, I can use the IP to only allow the last three votes cast by a person as well. That will control how many cars a person can vote for. I've already tested the basic QR Code reading/vote casting part, so all I have to do now is see if I can control how many votes are cast.

There is nothing that current allows you to choose what format to generate the docs, plus I have very specific needs.

I doubt that many people there would have the ability to spoof IP addresses while at an event, even if they were willing spend the time doing it (and miss out on stuff), so it should be enough for a clean fight.
