Came across this Wired
article about Delicious Monster, the
company that makes "Delicious Library", a MacOSX application for
cataloging your collection of CDs, DVDs, books, etc. The interesting
thing about the company is that they don't have an office, they just
bring their laptops to in a cafe in Seattle with free wireless.
Anyway, so then I downloaded the app. It's pretty well done. Perhaps
the most important feature is that you can scan barcodes with a video
camera, so entering data is relatively quick and painless (and you
don't need a proper barcode scanner). I've started by scanning all
our DVDs (of which there are only 40 or so).
Once we scan all our CDs and books, well, then what? Well, one nice
thing about the software (as far as I'm concerned) is that it stores
your data in a simple XML file, so I can write a script to -- oh wait,
what am I saying, surely someone's already done it ... yep, here we
go: DeliciousExporter.
Rock on.
