Well guys, it’s official we’re going alpha.\u00a0 That means a select few of you are going to get your grubby hands on the tool for the first time and be able to test it out.\u00a0 Be warned though that it’s still pretty raw and needs some polishing, and things are not going to work.\u00a0 Also be aware that it’s also possible the entire database gets wiped before we go to beta.\u00a0 That said, the backup function works just fine!<\/p>\n
The list of things to be worked on in our phase II sprint is starting to get long and a phase III is already in the works with things that have to be pushed off until later.\u00a0 One item though, is not; that’s pictures of pipes.\u00a0 I was reminded just recently about the importance of chronicling my pipe collection with pictures and dates purchased when a friend of mine had his place burn down along with all his pipes.\u00a0 You see insurance usually wants itemized information and pictures.\u00a0 If my place burned down today, I wouldn’t have pics of all my pipes and tobacco.\u00a0 Would you?<\/p>\n
Currently the pipe module in the tool allows you to put your pipe in, and dimensions and date bought, but not to add a picture.\u00a0 This is something that will change with the next release.\u00a0 Now of course there are lots of functions to have to keep in mind when doing pictures – size constraints how much space on the server will the images take up, how do we sort and make sure they are backed up? Free websites like tobacco reviews let you upload pictures of tobacco all day, but this is different, this is pictures of your pipes in your collection.\u00a0 Needless to say we’re going to be giving it some thought, just as I ponder on this new found use for this site that I hadn’t originally thought of, but believe it’s going to be important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
