Well.... if you are a real programmer then sticky labels will be a no-no.

What you need are those pretty colour coded plastic ring things you slip over the wire. They come in different sizes with letters and numbers on them so you can spell stuff.

Of course you have to plan and document things.... :-)

yeah, kind of hard to apply to wires in cabinets that are already connected up. i did see a polyester cartridge for it how ever, the person that suggested this unit to me stated they are hard to work with, and tend to crack while applying to the wire ? Maybe they're good for something else other than wrapping around the wire.. I did some more research on this unit, and it appears, that the unit is thermo in nature!, meaning, the black material for the character is thermomaticly applied? When i first saw this as i was reading i said "Oh no", i just retired an old unit that used a thermo roll of paper. This paper would fade after a while and some times it would tern all blue just from sitting in hot areas how ever, it appears that this new unit actually heats Vinyl (PVC) onto the background surface. Almost like a toner in Laser printers i guess ? oh well, we'll see how it serves us.

You can get them in heat shrink format as well. Unplug, slip em on, quick blast with the 'gun', plug back in, job done.

I suppose it depends on your circumstances.

If you are a real programmer you'll have left for the next job or sold your share options in the next buy out before the sticky labels fall off or spread their stickyness all over the place so it becomes someone elses problem.
