KStaford, That's a barcode thingy as your sig isn't it, the kind the N95 is supposed to read, or am I way off?
How do I put this nicely *ahem* WT_ does it say/mean??
The N95 is supposed to be able to read those. If you go to the cabbage mobile download page you'll see one that'll give you a link to it
But my N95 couldn't read his one either. There's probably too much data in it, when I was making mine the website warned that if I put too many characters some phones wouldn't be able to read it0 -

Yes you are right. It seems there are a few 2d barcode formats. The one I have here is pretty standard, there is ever a firefox plugin to generate 2dbc's for the current webpage etc in this format.
Have a look at this site
http://www.quickmark.cn/En/basic/index.asp
You can create 2dbc's here and they have apps for loads of differnet mobile phones etc. Once your phone has a camera, you install a 2dbc reader and scan everything you see, its great fun.
As to what my 2dbc says, its a little profane so I couldn't repeat wthout a ban warning 0 -

no, its just a simple one liner, there are a few different formats, it could be a format issue, either that or you could try making it bigger in your browser (Ctrl + to zoom in, Ctrl - to zoom out, Ctrl 0 to reset)
My phone reads it from meters away instantly, mind you I have a sharp 5mp camera on it and a good processor0 -

yea mate, it does work
there 2dbc's are huge in Asia much more so than in the west. They are on everything over there. They put them on the side of coke cans, magazine ads, cereal boxes - you name it.
Because they hold metadata (such as email addresses, urls, gps, sms messages, text, biz cards, phone numbers etc) they make clever marketing devices. Kids see the code on the cereal box and cant wait to scan it to see what treat lies behind it. They scan it and reveal a ulr that gives a away a free promotional offer or whathave you. I have even used them to encode and send an image (takes several barcodes spanned).
They are also useful for encoding large amounts of data, they have huge business app potential. I personally find them fascinating.
Sorry Sam for going so off topic0 -

A feature request - I don't think this functionality exists in the current Cabbage app, but if it does please let me know so I can feel stupid!
I'd like a single button to allow you to delete all the contacts from the phone book.
Why, I hear you cry? It's like this:
I do some admin for a large volunteer organisation. I send different texts to different groups of people from time to time. The phone numbers are constantly changing, new ones are being added and old ones dropping out. Who is to receive which text is unpredictable too, as it can be based on multiple factors.
What I do is to delete the contacts in Cabbage, then upload the numbers of the ones I want to send a particular message to. Then send it. Then repeat...
Having to select each contact, press delete, then press confirm makes this process unviable.
Before you point it out, I know this is not how the app is meant to be used. In an ideal world I'd have all the numbers in the contacts, then make groups to send the text to from those contacts. This doesn't work for me, due to contact churn, and also because many of the texts & groups are one-offs. Building the relevant groups would take almost as long, especially as I have to alt-tab from screen to screen to get the relevant names.
If I had a "Delete all" button, I could simply delete, then import the numbers each time.
What do you think?0 -
