When I was out earlier I saw the result of another Ram Raid on an ATM at the local shopping centre. Monday morning the shopping centre had an ATM nicked. Of course this prompted a security upgrade of the centre including placing steel poles at the entry to the centre where a bench seat was located. But they forgot about the empty shop next door to the entrance. The people this time drove through the sliding doors to the shop and out the other set of doors probably doing less damage to the car than when they drove through the seat. My guess would be that the banks are going to start putting dye packs in the machines.

I have started working on a new revision of my TeamTrack tracking software. This will probably become TeamTrack 2007, and I have decided this time to start from scratch. That way I can design the software from the ground up to do what I want. That does not mean that I am throwing my existing code out by any extent of the imagination – NO WAY. It means that I will import code as required to get the program working and to add features. But features that I do not need will not be copied across…

In this itteration, the entire software package is going to be a heap more generic. Instead of having data structures holding static data I will have the datasets holding dynamic data. What this means is that adding fields to the application will be really really simple.
