22-10 2:04:45 rvn2001 Bye Ellen.
22-10 2:04:44 soccrdad30 nite all!
22-10 2:04:40 soccrdad30 guys, time for me to go. 5:30am for me, have to help get grandson off to school
22-10 2:04:12 ejshelton Time for me to get our of here....ZU all
22-10 2:03:44 soccrdad30 there you go Stony, it may not hurt to try
22-10 2:02:56 stonysmith Seriously considering contacting Marleen... she should remember me.
22-10 2:02:21 soccrdad30 some of the same people
22-10 2:00:45 stonysmith «link»
22-10 1:59:58 soccrdad30 all to the creditors I imagine
22-10 1:59:40 soccrdad30 ah
22-10 1:57:58 stonysmith no money, no assets :)
22-10 1:57:30 soccrdad30 how do you let a bankruptcy die?
22-10 1:57:16 soccrdad30 huh
22-10 1:55:53 stonysmith I've not heard anything from the Bankruptcy court in over a year. my assumption is that the judge just let it die
22-10 1:50:49 soccrdad30 still going on?
22-10 1:50:43 soccrdad30 dang
22-10 1:50:07 stonysmith all the old stuff is (still) tied up in the Bankruptcy
22-10 1:49:47 stonysmith The new management at Shapeways (really just the name only) could not access anything from the old site.
22-10 1:48:44 soccrdad30 I am surprised they did not resurrect those features
22-10 1:48:38 stonysmith humor..... all of the Shapeways stuff was PHP
22-10 1:48:18 stonysmith Shapeways had some nice stuff for retrieving your sales, and to upload items, and to manage prices all thru an API
22-10 1:48:15 soccrdad30 that is a huge step #1 project
22-10 1:47:33 stonysmith as I said... my bigger issue is the need to associate the product number or name back to the file in my local network
22-10 1:46:30 soccrdad30 no option for a download? that sucks... so you have to screen-scrape your totals
22-10 1:44:21 GNFan After the millionth "can you tell me how many sales I've had?" queries, maybe they'll do something about it.
22-10 1:43:26 stonysmith yes, i could screen-scrape the info... just haven't gotten the umph together to work on that
22-10 1:43:01 stonysmith there's a page where you can see your sales.. but no option on there for download
22-10 1:42:00 soccrdad30 strange, so in a way... only THEY would know how many sales of items are happening
22-10 1:41:25 soccrdad30 huh
22-10 1:41:20 stonysmith over on 3dptrain.com, I named everything as SSD-0001-Z and the like... but those still don't really match my local filenames
22-10 1:40:35 stonysmith and.. Thangs.com seems to have NO option for downloading sales statistics etc... which again would be tied to the Item Name
22-10 1:39:56 soccrdad30 so, only a half baked process
22-10 1:39:41 stonysmith the big hassle for me is that my local files are named pretty badly... NOT named in customer-friendly terms
22-10 1:38:44 stonysmith *and price
22-10 1:38:38 stonysmith they have a bulk uploader... but that only puts the file into my account.. have to manually enter all the product details (name, scale, description)
22-10 1:33:24 soccrdad30 either comma-delimited or fixed field sizes will work
22-10 1:32:35 GNFan Ah, "comma-delimited" importing...my once-worktime nightmare.
22-10 1:30:32 soccrdad30 I bet it would not be hard to create one
22-10 1:26:56 soccrdad30 too bad they did not have an ascii import ability
22-10 1:26:31 soccrdad30 that part sucks, Stony
22-10 1:24:38 stonysmith still a huge pain to put new items in the shop... almost impossible to do other than one at a time
22-10 1:24:01 GNFan "UN-Shapeways"?
22-10 1:23:52 stonysmith they haven't improved MY experience.. but I think they're doing well
22-10 1:23:32 stonysmith Thangs.com
22-10 1:23:08 soccrdad30 oops, it is not SW anymore
22-10 1:22:54 soccrdad30 Stony, how has Shapeways been doing? are they getting their marketplace back in order?
22-10 1:18:48 soccrdad30 we have been busy with grandson and the granddaughters, crazy few weeks
