Oh, that's fantastic, Gris. That's exactly what I need.
It takes some practice to get things going - like most super-flexible programs, it's fairly complicated. Lifehacker has a couple of good tutorials that you should be able to find.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Yeah, I'm totally okay with configuration. I'll look up the tutorials. I mean, I'm the kind of person that reads car manuals.

So, Siri thinks I'm my sister. Does that mean I have to give her my new phone?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yes. Yes it does.
People tell me that my sister and I sound more alike than we look alike, so I suppose that's not uncommon.

Meara, you don't have to do what robots say, unless we're talking about Robocop or a Terminator.
I now have an Android phone and I want to scan book barcodes to get the ISBN number and information, both to finally catalog my library and to sell some books. I want to be able to have import the book information to some kind of catalog on my PC. There is a scanning app that uploads to Good Reads. Is anyone else that crazy? If so, any suggestions?

I wonder if there's one for Librarything.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, that would be so great. It's weird that our phones are now like our own CueCats.

Hey. New board.
Just about any library program for a phone could probably let you export a list that could easily be imported into LibraryThing. I don't have any specific suggestions, but I'd bet there are dozens.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gris, I use Locale to do that sort of stuff. It's pretty cool. It can be set to react to, out of the box, location, orientation, time, and person calling. And that can be used to fire off a lot of things, like configuration settings (ringer, bluetooth, screen brightness, etc) or to do list alerts, or web site logins with plugins. I posted about it upthread some.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have one of these and during my internet downtime for almost a day, that was the way I could transfer files from computer, iphone, and my wifi-only ipad.
Okay, I want *that*
