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!
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.
Ooh, that would be so great. It's weird that our phones are now like our own CueCats.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the Flickr troubleshooting, guys. Still no idea what the issue was!

I am that dorky, but I did it a few years ago and bought the cue cat from LibraryThing. But I haven't kept it up, especially now that a bunch of my library is digital.
Anyone have any idea how Siri decided I'm my sister Kara? Is it because there's no meara in my phone and that's the closest name? I mean wtf??
