cyber cafe program

[A[L]C]

My m8 is setting up a cyber cafe here in the UK, so he could do with some software to help. Features I am thinking of:

• Ability to view client screens on server
• Limited access to options with windows
• Pay-as-you-go and preset billing
• timers
• Must work under XP

theres a few more, but hopefully ppl will come up with some ideas.

Possibility of making this shareware

Let me know

Do you want to setup that with a winsock control ?

i really dont know how it would be implemented. Im a vb newbie, so cant really comment.

Ive been looking at ready made software, and the following I have picked out as having good features imo

Good day,

I could develop this application for you. I have been programming for 8 years and hold 19 certifications. Attached, you shall find a copy of my resume. I can send you a more readable copy of my resume if you furnish me with your e-mail address.

I would like to set up a time to talk to you regarding this application. When would be a good time to contact you?

Initial Estimate: 5,000 USD.
3 wks to 1 month time to market.

Cheers,

[A[L]C]

sorry m8. Cannot afford that - Might as well use one of the above.

Thanks for the offer though

ALC I think that project will be hard to do.

I have written a program for my own set up here in the Philippines but I shut my shop due to stiff competition and to many shops around. I have most of the features you are looking for except for the screen view of the workstation. You can set up applications to run, preset/reset their time limits and logoff their workstations when the time comes.

But it seems my program is having problems with Durons and I haven't tested it on XP's.

I am a newbie at Win32APIs and I used only shared files for the control. My system has a server program and a workstation program. The workstation program only displays a full screen of your logo and reads instructions from the server thru a shared file -- nothing fancy but I find it very effective. Have tried launching browsers, games (such as counter strike, red alert, diablo, max payne, and should work on any game!). You can also shutdown the workstation thru the server!

If anybody is interested e-mail me at [email protected].

would be cool if you could email it to me. We were just about to spend £300 or so on some.

Would be cool to see it.
