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!
I found the help page for Locale, and it does "train" by narrowing it down by WIFI access points. I need to test tomorrow to see if it can tell the floors of my work building apart.
Now I'm sifting through plugins, seeing what I haven't thought of doing yet...
I have found a USB device in my house that confuses me. It has two cables that branch off the main cable at one end, one with a USB plug and the other with an audio jack. At the other end is a 3-port USB hub and a cylindrical bit that rotates to a 90-degree angle from the plane of the hub. Hubby things the rotating bit may be a microphone. There are no words on the device that I can Google. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I plugged it into my computer and it was IDed as a generic USB hub. So, bonus, a new hub, but I'm curious as to the rest of it.
alien technology, Connie.
do you have strange fillings?
there was that root canal a year ago . . .
Connie, is it this? [link]
Yes, that's it exactly! Thank you!
and it's only compatible up to XP, which may be why it didn't work on my 64-bit Win7 system.
What an odd thing to find just laying around.
Compared to some of the stuff the rest of us having kicking around? NSM
I have no idea where it came from, we all just stared at it, trying to deduce its function.
At least if it's an automotive part, Hubby can look at it and go "Oh, that's the whatzit switch from the thingie valve from a '68 Mustang fastback."
I wonder if there's one for Librarything.
I just came across instructions for using RedLaser to scan ISBNs into LibraryThing [link] I bet that is easily modified for some Android app
Eta: I think I am deciding that I'd rather keep my library records on the web than on my phone, so I'd better finish getting everything into LibraryThing...
