... You all, but in a nice way

Its Friday night and here's me importing various wonderful recipes from all over this site into the recipe program I use.

Plenty to keep you busy then Rob

.....Was a little scared to see what you had wrote Rob! 
What program are you using?
I have living cookbooks, and find that great.  A little tricky to set it up how I wanted it, but got there in the end.
I have soooo many of the recipes copied on word, but haven't yet transferred them to L.C.......Must do a couple a day, so it's not such a big job.

My plan is to then print them off and laminate, like Judy did.......I have a pretty box waiting to pop them in

Gosh Maddy thats a big job.

Rob i have more  recipes than i can cook and they still keep coming.LOL

Sorry Maddy, didn't mean to scare ya

I use YummySoup! (Mac), which of the few I tried seemed the closest fit for me though it isn't quite perfect (heck what is). A plus is there is a iPad viewing app, which is basic at the moment but is promised to be much better (using iCloud rather than syncing the database via iTunes).

It has a web importer that makes things a bit easier, particularly on certain sites as it auto imports.

Anyway I had a now massive Note in Mail and felt I needed to get stuff out of there before I got too swamped.

Rob i have evernote on my ipad,  is yummy soup easy to use.

Looking at icloud, do i need to go to apple store to get icloud, totally useless at all tnis stuff.

Ah, no iPad here.    Thanks for sharing anyway Tarasis.

Maddy, Living Cookbooks looks pretty darn good.

You guys seem so organised. Organised I am not.

iCloud is a free replacement for MobileMe, provides an email address, photo/calendar/address syncing between multiple devices (Mac/iOS/Win) and most importantly for some apps its providing a way of syncing data (like recipe databases) between devices without you having to do anything. You make a change on one and the change is uploaded and sent to all the other devices. There is some more info on iCloud at http://www.apple.com/icloud/ & info on setting it up http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. The basic gist is your need iOS 5.0 or greater on your iPad/iPhone, if you use a Mac then you need version 10.7.2 (Lion with its most recent update) or if Windows then Vista or Windows 7

I bought YS a while back and wasn't putting it to much use, mostly keeping stuff in a Note but now there is a recipe viewer for the iPad I've started to use it a bit more. More so once they provide the ability to add notes in the iPad version. I haven't used Evernote much 9well in a couple of years)

YummySoup! is for the Mac, it just also has an iPad app.

I love my Living Cookbook software 

[Halex]

Thanks Rob, will have a look.

I now have ipad connected to my computer (very old and very slow) its updating applesoftware, so hoping i might be able to synch ipad and computer and get icloud.

Already had safari screen freeze on me on ipad, i am no good at this kind of thing and nor is DH.

Should have bought things in Hawaai but DH said not compatible with Aus, i believed him, my girlfriend just laughed ans said where do you think the ipads come from. Probably DH way of me not spending money. the sad thing was I believed him!

Anyway lets hope i dnt blow anythingup
