Bookmark/WebLink Organizing ?!?! - General Questions and Answers

Hi! (sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread)
I’m currently in the process of re-organizing my digital life. This means re-installing, upgrading all hardware, OS and such. Sorting, backing up and cataloging al my data on many disks. And right now I’m trying to organize my bookmarks.
I’m interested in what method you might use when organizing and maintain your bookmarks/web links. I use Firefox and Chrome, but have thousands of bookmarks from the past many years. I have made many attempts to organize them into folders and then have said folders placed on my bookmark bars as a sort of “bin” system but this would take too long manually using any browsers built-in bookmark manager. Ideally I would have my browsers bookmark bar lined with folders, organized by type (CG, Coding, Design, Photography, Outdoors, Science) and then inside the folders have sub-folders like under “Science” would be “Chemistry, Physics, etc..) and those sub-folders would then contain the web links themselves.
I have tried several of the bookmark management services like Diigo and such, and would love to have some sort of sync backup/management tool. It would be great if there was a windows application or web app that could import my bookmark library and give me a nice interface to organize them all manually and maybe offer some tools for batch methods and the like. So, what do you use? Any recommendations for software? Any good web services out there for this? Again, I have thousands of bookmarks, so anything that could make manually organizing easier would be great!
Many thanks!

PHP Calendar Question

I'm in the process of redesigning our local access station's web site. I'm just about finished, except for a program guide system. Currently, the "program schedule" page is simple HTML, but there are a number of problems with this system.
First off, the person who updates the schedule is by no means a web designer, and the page slowly deteriorates as tweaks are accidentally made while updating.
Secondly, the new site is designed to show the current day's program schedule on each page. It would obviously be a royal pain to update this manually using HTML, so we're looking for some sort of PHP calendar system on the site: PHPKode to integrate into the site.
What we need is a simple PHP/MySQL calendar system that will allow us to integrate a daily schedule into a sidebar, and set up a program grid on the main schedule page.
As in the above example, we'd like the program name to link to that show's page.
I've looked around for a few days trying to find a good system, but haven't had much luck. I don't know if there are any PHP "program guide" scripts out there, but I would think there would be some sort of calendar that could accomplish this job.
I should note I know a little bit of PHP/MySQL scripting - enough to do some *minor* tweaking to a simple script, but I'm by no means fluent with it. Bottom line- the less scripting I have to do, the better.
The current version of the site can be viewed here. (We haven't transfered our domain to the new server yet, hence the subdirectory setup.) The weather sidebar is a placeholder for the program schedule. I appreciate any suggestions or advice, so thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

Apps My wife wants

Hi There!
My wife, a doctor who is still studying, is wondering if there is a way she can use her new android phone to take better quality notes at lectures. Previously she was using a WM65 with Word, and taking text notes, but it was not possible or very difficult to add diagrams, or highlight important words, or draw arrows to particular things. Is there a great quality app that handles taking notes easier? Happy to pay.
Secondly, she has a forerunner watch which won't download her running data such as the track she ran, average speed, etc. Can she use her phone for that data collection and find a nice app to transfer it to her PC to view in a usable format?
We are also lastly looking for a cross platform (Windows 7, Android) shopping list application. Happy to pay, but would prefer one off cost. Needs to be simple and able to be shared across 3 devices nicely.
I think Evernote could do the first and last thing, taking notes, with schemes (maybe, not sure) and make a shopping list, which is cross platform, since you make an account on Evernote's site, and you have the Windows' program and the Android application to keep track, and it's off cost up to a certain storage
Hope I've been of help, just look for Evernote on google!

Hoccer for easier file sharing

hi fellow dev's,
i would like to recommend an app which made my life so easier.
Data sharing simplified: Drag or throw any data to other devices
Share your pictures, music, contacts, bookmarks, messages and arbitrary files with simple gestures like dragging or throw n' catch to near by recipients. No setup, no user accounts!
Instantly transmit things between your phone and other Androids, iPhones or our Web App at http://webapp.hoccer.com. There is also http://wall.hoccer.com which will show all pictures you throw at this website.
It feels like NFC connectivity but does not require special hardware. Any kind of internet connection is sufficient.
The technology behind Hoccer is called Linccer and can seamlessly be embedded in other Apps to enable spontaneous connections between near by devices.
Happy sharing..

Wrong forum. Should be on "Android apps and games", this isn't specific for the SGS2.

[Q] Android App Folder Organizer with something Extra

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
It's great having the ability to organize App shortcuts on into different folders on the home screens. However, when you want to do this with many Apps, it becomes quite time consuming, especially if you own multiple devices. Same goes for when you wipe a device.
Not sure if it exists, but does anyone know of an app that will allow app folder organization that syncs to different devices, or have a similar functionality? So for example if I have a few folders that contain various apps, I would love to be able to 'push' that type of home screen folder organization to different devices. As is, with owning 3+ android devices, wiping some once a year, getting new devices, etc, the task of organizing dozens of apps into folders becomes quite a chore!
Please Ignore, moving this to the QnA thread, posted in the wrong place.

How to make multiple copies of an open source app?

I think if I could take the code of an android app and rename/repackage it into many different apps, such as coolapp1, coolapp2, and so on, it would be convenient for me, as I could run all these simultaneously in my device. This might be an open source facebook app but for different accounts, a water intake tracker app that I could use to track my tea intake in a different instance of the app, and so on. One significant use for this cloning would be me using multiple copies of a browser such as bromite/brave/vanilla chromium. My browsing is sort of messy and I want to separate work, research, gaming, social media, different accounts etc. in different browser apps, but that means I end up with tons of different browsers in my device with different interfaces and their beta/dev etc. versions.
Though I figured taking the codebase of an app and renaming/repackaging it shouldn't be that hard, I don't know where to start or if this process would vary significantly from app to app. I kind of have this faint idea that there's some package name to be specified in java and also the code needs to be built and then signed with a key. Is repackaging a browser such as bromite/brave/vanilla chromium that hard, so I could end up with mybrowser1, mybrowser2,....,mybrowser10 and so on with the app logos I set?
I'm also afraid that this renaming, if done improperly, might break some reference in code, and consequently break some functionality, such as losing all my bookmarks in mybrowser1 after I close the app!
Thanks in advance. I have looked all over for a resolution to my query but have come up with none.
My POV: What you intend to do is 100% copyright infringement: open-source does not mean no copyright exists
I'll use the copies just for myself, not distribute those. There are some apps I've read about such as Shelter and Insular that use work profiles to do that, and there are also non-free apps that can modify an apk on the phone to make multiple copies.
But I'm not sure they are the most reliable and/or convenient way to go about it... I haven't used shelter or insular, and have read it won't be exactly like opening the app drawer and using a different app...
