Project - Breakfast Bringer

Category: Programming | Projects Thomas Frost @ 10:37 PM

 

Problem

We have a computer showing an excel document at work, which shows who has to get breakfast on the particular day.

BreakfastBringer 1.1.0.0
The language is Danish, so you will have to translate if you don't get the main functionality.
