Retail Fail: The :CueCat Disaster

I bought a CueCat from LibraryThing when they first got them. It was so useful to me when cataloging my book and graphic novels library.
Their holiday store has them on sale for $5 for the holidays.
Now you can use a mobile phone, but back then it wasn't an option.
But you get a neat little plastic cat sculpture with a USB tail and flashing red mouth with a CueCat.
Useful for Bookwyrm.

Remember the CueCat? Here's an unopened PS2 version. When these things came out I went to every Radio Shack in the area to get one. Things didn't work out for them the way they wanted them to.

anyway, here's some code
const seq='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789+-',
decode_tr=seq.split('').reduce((a,b,c)=>{a[b]=String.fromCharCode(c+32);return a;},{}),
encode_tr=seq.split('').reduce((a,b,c)=>{a[String.fromCharCode(c+32)]=b;return a;},{}),
decode=input=>{
input=input.split('').map(a=>(a in decode_tr)?decode_tr[a]:a).join('');
input=binascii.a2b_uu(String.fromCharCode(32+input.length*3/4)+input);
return input.split('').map(a=>String.fromCharCode(a.charCodeAt()^67)).join('');
},
encode=input=>{
input=input.split('').map(a=>String.fromCharCode(a.charCodeAt()^67)).join('');
input=binascii.b2a_uu(input).slice(1,-1);
return input.split('').map(a=>(a in encode_tr)?encode_tr[a]:a).join('');

my cuecat javascript can both decode and encode now
not sure if encoding will be useful for anything though, but it does allow me to check if things are decoded successfully i guess

Attn: #SFBA fans of #retrocomputing and technological oddities. I am cleaning out my storage room in a perhaps futile attempt to un-hoard.
An early-aughts #eBay misunderstanding of lot scale means I have dozens of boxes of unused DSHD 3.5″ floppies and storage cases therewith. Plus random early USB and FireWire devices (#CueCat! Original #iSight camera! Mystery items!), #TiVo box, big roll of 10bT cable, who knows what else.
Free to good home if you can pick them up in #ColeValley #SanFrancisco this week.

If anyone still has a working #CueCat laying around, this might be a use for it!

Anyone else remember when Radio Shack's catalog introduced the CueCat barcode scanner? As a kid, I was thrilled that we had a barcode scanner at home, even more fun was turning these slanted barcodes into websites. https://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/flipbook/2001_radioshack_catalog.html
