TagTracker by Julias Hocking

This is a simple tag tracking/data gathering system for bike parking operations for use at Victoria, BC's downtown bike parking service.

Some important assumptions the program makes:

• Opening hours don't cross midnight - the program automatically decides whether to start a new .dat based on the computer's date
• Each tag has a unique identifier that starts with at least 1 letter that relates consistently to the tag's colour
• Tag names don't match any of the command keywords listed below
• Each tag separates into two pieces, one for the bike and one for the customer, like a coat check
• Tags are reused day-to-day but not within a single day

The "intended" workflow using the tracker is:

1. bike checks in - bike receives half tag, owner receives half tag
2. log check-in with tracker
3. bike checks out - half tags are reunited
4. log check-out with tracker
5. tag is placed in some kind of return basket and not reused that day
