if you have it on your phone it's custom. Must be provided by T-Mobile.

It must be a Honeycomb thing, then. Because that's where I have it. I can't keep track. Fragmentation ahoy.

I've been reading developer.android.com. It's a surprisingly initially accessible read for someone who has no intention of developing and just learnt they'd need to download the SDK. The deltas between the major releases are fascination.

The quick-settings toggles is not a home screen. You pull down your notifications screen

Nifty.

Ok folks, sell me on GroceryIQ - I downloaded it but I don't think I'm using it right because it doesn't seem very useful. What am I missing?

I didn't like it - it wasn't useful to me to make lists based on particular brands, which seems to be where it shines. I just want to get "pretzels" not "Rold Gold Twists." I'm using OurGroceries now, which is shared with my wife. Much simpler.

I just want to get "pretzels" not "Rold Gold Twists."

Then add pretzels. There's nothing stopping you doing that. You can add either brands or generics. I've gone through and done both--there's informative brand information in there about what's available, but sometimes just bacon is enough.

I don't see anything *not* simple about Grocery IQ. I can just type "Bacon" into the line at the bottom of the screen, or I can go a level deeper and say "Bacon" or go a level deeper than that and scan the barcode of the particular brand of bacon that's in my fridge. There's no requirement to commit to any level. And the lists are shareable too.

Hm. I guess since I do the vast majority of my grocery shopping online anyway, having my grocery list in an app doesn't add much value. For some reason I thought it did more than that.

That would make for an interesting app, one that consolidated online groceries.

But I don't know how to make it an attractive business model is outside my scope.

Ok, I need help, and I need help.

It's for the scavenger hunt. I am the techiest geek on our team (HA!) and I am creating, in wordpress.com, a gallery of US senators. You're supposed to mouse over each pic, and any "infamies" they're done are supposed to pop up when you roll over them.

Amy was really helpful, and I DID the gallery part (well, I've got the pix, still gathering dirt on 100 senators. With citations, because I'm like that). But I can get the info to come up when I CLICK on a pic, and it's supposed to appear when I MOUSE/ROLL over it.

Can anyone either (a) tell me, in clear language, how to do this, or (B) when I get the gallery up, go in as an admin and put in mouseover code.

As you can can tell, I am geek lite (but I am getting geekier, and reveling in it!)

I have to go to a church and try to get them to sing Eye of the Tiger for me in an hour or so. Reply here is good, reply at profile addy is good, and if you email me, I'll be happy to give out phone number if you need to talk me through it.

PLEASE.

What are you doing to get the info to come up when you click?

Just putting the info in the Gallery image thumbnail info.

Here's the (not finshed) page -- I just got the basic pix done in the gallery --- haven't added info yet. gishweshpolitical.wordpress.com/
