"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?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I wonder if there's one for Librarything.

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*

I have a Fujitsu scanner that changed my mind on scanners and I am in love with it.

I'm in content management and imaging and have been for 20 years. So I'm familiar with the scanning and paperless technology out there. And I still prefer starting with a digital document nine times out of ten. I just don't see the pros of going in the other direction. It's a workaround, but electronic documents with electronic signatures is how I design paperless offices.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks for the Flickr troubleshooting, guys. Still no idea what the issue was!
