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!
Gris, I use Locale to do that sort of stuff.
Ah yes! After some reading, I'm under the impression that Tasker is basically Locale with more flexibility and built-in features but a less simple interface. It supports Locale plugins, apparently. I find the whole thing pretty amazing.
Sophia,
surveymonkey is probably the best. They do have free versions of survey monkey though.
However, google docs forms may have what you want if your needs are light. You can rig if-then questions using google docs.
Thanks le nub!
I would be fine if I could just have the log-in to survey monkey, but what I have to do now is type the survey in word, and then sit with the person while she retypes into survey monkey and give her directions as to how to move to different questions-- Aargh.
I've been using Locale pretty happily for a month or more now. It's quite nifty. I would however, like a scenario of "in a meeting" to set settings for that. That's my biggest current gripe, and I'm pretty sure someone's addressed it, I just can't find out where.
However, things like my task list being location aware is really cool. I wish there were a plugin for Grocery IQ so I could make my shopping list store aware.
Best of both e-reader worlds.
I'm just happy with the price wars I'm going to be able to get my dad the Nook Simple for uber cheap.
Sophia,
then try google docs forms. Let me know if I can help.

Tasker could do this. You can make arbitrary widget buttons to switch profiles on and off. I think it can also read Google Calendar events, and potentially set "In A Meeting" automatically, though that might be more complicated.
ETA: Actually, it turns out to be pretty easy. As long as you've got your default Calendar App showing your events, it automatically sets a state whenever a calendar entry matches a specific title or location.

That's what I'd want. I want my notifications to be different if I'm in a meeting (quieter) than if I'm not. That shouldn't be a radical idea. But I haven't browsed plugins recently.
You replied before I finish my edit, ita !, so I'd point you back to my previous post. Tasker does it, it's actually very easy to set up. I'll be testing it in about an hour - I made a test profile that will pop up a notification once I'm at my breastfeeding class. I'll let you know if it works, though probably not until tomorrow morning.
Thanks, Gris. In the meanwhile I found the Locale Calendar Plug-in which uses calendar events as conditions, so I'm set.
