  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) This could be a zen-ish question, but do you mean inaccurate, or insufficiently precise? I think that there are situations where knowing that something is 800 +/- 100 is very useful in the general case (as long as it's ACCURATE, that is, as (...)

  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) I may be wrong, but methinks the only reason you jumped in here in the first place was because you thought it would make you look cool to talk about it because you've got special stuff set up for you and other people don't, and because you (...)

  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) I agree, and more importantly, it gives things a higher probability of being double-checked, since everything is more visible, which is one of the reasons this newsgroup exists. A real ticket system with groupware stuff would be much better, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Dan doesn't need an unsolicited lecture about this from the sidelines. (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) It wouldn't work. It would get blocked. (...) Actually there are lots and lots of them, and there have been since 1994, but they tend not to stay up for very long, or have access restrictions, or aren't very flexible. (...) I get bcc'd on (...)

  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) No, you're the only one using it. A couple of years ago it was used by ldraw.org -- I wrote a simple remailer for Terry Keller to use for parts voting when the one he had been using at some other site suddenly went dead. I took that and (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Kyle, I totally agree and always hoped to have something like this in place...never got around to it...it's a big task, but as Larry pointed out, it could be done in smaller steps. (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: adding minitalia to set ref
 
(...) Some weeks, neither do I! I have no idea where I am going to be next week yet..., should have said "this weekend", and I will try to remember on my own. 40% chance of that working... (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: adding minitalia to set ref
 
(...) Sure, but I don't have your schedule handy ;) (...) I don't know the particular distinction other than on the boxes for the system ones, it says system underneath and the others don't.. Themes aren't my specialty. (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: adding minitalia to set ref
 
(...) Ah, ok, I didn't cotton to that. (...) Ask me next week when I am home again. (...) I am pretty sure one that I have is 31 but it seems like I have a different one than 30, that one doesn't look familiar. Are the categories LEGO > Minitalia (...)

  Re: adding minitalia to set ref
 
It's not my auction, but here you go, I don't understand why you want the url though... I already added the sets? (URL) number boats do you have, the numbers should be on the side... I added a couple today, 30 and 31. Pictures would be great :) (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) True, but... (...) Phase 2! In phase one, hang it where I suggested because it means NO, ZIP, NADA, ZERO change to LUGNET code. Let the heavy users start using it and work the bugs out and if it looks good, THEN lobby to get the template (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

In lugnet.admin.database, Jennifer L. Boger writes: I have 2 minitalia boats, with boxes, one still MIB. My scanner is broke but I can take pics on a white background if that would help. Jen, what was the URL for that auction, I can see if it is for (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) But if I follow this correctly, the only "link" to submitting info to the Guide will be on this page: (URL) me that still falls into the category of "out-of-the-way". I don't imagine the majority of LUGNET users venture into the .admin (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: adding minitalia to set ref
 
(...) ok, some more info here... i found a couple of these on ebay, and i wrote to the seller and they said that the numbers are on the sides of the boxes... i'll be adding them shortly... #'s 23 and 30. So we should find out if *these* ones that (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) you're right - right now it's not a problem. What _I_ would do if I thought it was? reply to each message once it's done - very similar to the way Jenn and I deal with incoming Inventories to peeron.com... That way, if a message in the (...)

  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) Hm, I got it. In fact the following proposal, assuming there is a curator named for the admin.db group so they can edit FTX, requires NO programming or changes within LUGNET at all! - Set up a hotmail (yahoo, or whatever... a peeron account (...)

  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) Well how do you prevent person A looking, fixing, person B looking, realising it's fixed, person C looking, realising it's fixed, etc? Probably not a big deal if there aren't TOO many people helping out. (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Database Piece Count
 
(...) either way works for me. I just like the fact that it's viewable by all, so people can see what info was submitted - maybe help avoid double postings. If someone wants to flood the newsgroup, they can now just as easily... And if we want it by (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
