Indeed. This application was mostly due to the fact that I'd find
duplicates of books sometimes as well as Jarkko and I wanting to keep our
libraries straight :) Read "Ex Libris".
What it does is I have a shell on the OBSD box in the basement and read
the ISBN in, the application then queries amazon.com for all the author
info, etc. as well as the little jpg of the cover and shoves it into a
mysql table. It's not finished just yet but hmmm...i'll make an effort to
get it done for next month's tech meeting.
If I had the discspace I'd also have it rip mp3s of all 400 or so CDs and
make a jukebox with it....but I'm still in denial that my computer is also
my stereo.
