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!
It's definitely doable in WordPress, although it would take a bit of custom coding and/or a good plugin to manage the shitton of metadata involved. The harder part is thinking through the structure of the information and how you want people to be able to access it.
After that, send in the fangirls!
(I can take a look at the available book review plugins when I get a moment at a proper computer - most of them have a bunch of overhead for pulling in ISBNs and amazon links and whatnot, but the basic structure of reviews, authors, genres, etc may be a good place to start if you can play with the categorization at will.)
That would be fabulous, whenever you have time. The other keyword seems to be "link directory", but I didn't even think of book reviews.

Yeah, but that bit is way easier to crowdsource, especially when we want to keep it fairly simple. Which I think we would.
(or your other open-source publishing platform of choice. I get a little WP Likes Carrots sometimes.)
Well, I'm already familiar with WordPress, and since both of us have jobs and lives and stuff, any minimizing of the learning curve is good.
For people on ios, there is a (now free) app called Closet that can help you plan wardrobe and track what's in your closet.
I just downloaded it.
Regular price $.99
My roommate needs to fax something today! Are there any reputable free fax services via the internet that I could send it for her?
Sorry this is so late, but I've used [link] and [link] successfully to send stuff.
Have to get a new router. While I'm at it I will try and simplify my life by getting rid of my print server. So looking for:
Wireless n with 4 ports plus two Usb ports.
Qos and dual channel so that videoconferencing traffic gets prioritized and my connection does not get slowed down to speed of slowest wireless computer on network
backwords compatible with WEP encryption to hookup an old computer
Maybe gig ethernet on wired ports though not essential. Current ethernet ports on old computers are 10/100 so getting gig ports is a matter of future proofing and will do nothing with current equipment.
absolute fastest N not critical since internet is not going to be more than 18 mps and stuff that needs faster connections will most used the wired ports. So not worth paying for 450 mps speed. At least not worth paying much
Belkin n750 is on sale at target for $80 (in store, not on-line) but according to reviews no backwords compatibiltiy for WEP. Also mixed reviews on performance. Why I'm looking at dialing back to older N protocols better implemented.
Any recs?
Come to think of it, does a USB port neccesarily mean you can hook a printer directly to the router? Or does it depend on what the router software does - like some routers only want you to use the USB port for network storage perhaps?
I think most routers only use the USB port for network storage so you definitely want to check. I'm partial to Netgear, but the one I use isn't quite up to your requirements. The closest one would be this:

It only has one USB port for network storage so it doesn't solve the printer server issue.
There's this one that I think meets everything including the printer, but it's not cheap.

Since I don't use them, I can't really say much about other brands of routers. I'm sure there are plenty of good ones.
