Bill "Tex" Landreth: A CT slacker

WINE TALK
1

Sorry to call you out Tex - but you were embarrasing me (and Jorge and Zach). Not cool to have a “Buddy” with “0” tasing notes and “0” in inventory. Looks like you’re finally staring to get with the program. [welldone.gif]

Bottles in inventory: 16 & 12 pending = 28 (by region, by producer, by varietal, wines in common, wines not in common)

Bottles consumed: 0 (by time, by region, by producer, by varietal)

Tasting notes written: 0 (by time, by region, by producer, by varietal)

Bill wrote CT an Open Letter way before it was even the “in” thing to do.

Finally. I have more bottles than somebody! [grin.gif]

4

Give me a break. I’ll do my due dilligence this weekend and put everything in.

5

Oh man, CT peer pressure, brutal.
Tex, if you get your stuff into a spreadsheet you can email it to me to help you bulk import. Goes way faster.

6

Brutal indeed.

I don’t have any form of inventory right now, so I am just going to go shelf by shelf and have my laptop next to the wine fridges.

OK. The less you type the better (e.g. on the find/add screen you only need the first few characters of each word and obviously not the filler/noise words)

8

This works pretty well because it’s very likely that almost every wine in your cellar is already in CT. So esp. if you have the wines grouped, you just type “Mondavi cab” and it shows them all. Then you can go one by one and add whichever ones you have.

One thing that helps with this is to set the number of results you get on one page from a search to “all”. Otherwise, it just gives you some of them. I’m sure Eric can remind us where that is done.

I think Tex just moved it all over to VF Marketplace last week… newhere

For adding this is the best screen, no limit, vintages compressed etc: Add Wine to My Cellar - CellarTracker" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

11

How bout we get a feature where we can take a picture of the label with a laptop webcam and have it be image-matched to the label database? flirtysmile

Eric helped me last weekend bulk import mine. It was pretty easy.
Even better, Tyler Rico has stopped bugging me to upload my cellar into CT! [truce.gif]

13

You have a bulk upload feature? ive been procastinating loading my wines into CT but this would really help.

Migrating From Another System - CellarTracker Support" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

15

Mine is a partial load without updates or TNs…so I am guilty as Tex. Must be a “squid” thing, we have more important stuff to do then be entry clerks neener

16

With CT, I’ve found that when I ask “you have xyz feature??”… the answer in most cases is YES.

Bill confided in me that he’s really waiting for My Wines to launch any day now. neener

OK smart guy, I got 135 bottles inventoried now.

Amazing what I thought I still had, I must have sucked down as well as finding a couple things I forgot about.

Awesome!
