Yeargh. As you can see from the picture above, the very top of the page exported by Delicious Exporter, I've been scanning books, dvds, and cds into Delicious Library. Those figures above indicate the number of books, dvds, and cds that I have sitting in my home office. (Which is just a spare ensuite bedroom off the living room where I can contain my messes and Kat doesn't have to see them.) I haven't even hit the living room yet, which is where most of the cds, dvds, and a little less than half the books are.

Fear.

The great thing about Delicious Library is that I can use my iSight (or any other firewire camera) to capture the bar code on the back of most books, dvds, or cds. It will look up the ISBN/UPC/etc. in your local Amazon site, but won't fall back on B&N, etc., as Readerware will do.

There are a lot of other lame things about it as well, such as the stupid registration system or failing to remember deleted "borrowers", but the release rate is high right now, and I'm sure they'll get to most of these issues.

37,582 words and about a week left in NaNoWriMo.
