Re: [SWCollect] Anyone heard of Charles C Carroll??

Does the name mean anything to you Sierra buffs? I googled the name but it is surprisingly common, and didnt find anything to do with Sierra or gaming - though he DID sign the US Constitution or something ;) Hm, it seems Sierra was longer in the business than we thought ;-) Marco -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] CURIOUS Guide
Wow, very nice, Hugh! On a first glance I found one problem: When I click on one of the sublinks (year, title, etc.) I get a 404.

[SWCollect] OT The Great John
Just saw this on CNBC, hahaha!! No it's not what you think, not "porno" When size matters Visit my web page for many games for sale/trade and screen shots of Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash, Tom's Ultima, Infocom and RPG page
Re: [SWCollect] CURIOUS Guide
Very nice. A few things: - Searching works well (but what does the icon w/the X-ed out glasses do)? I saw no visible results. - All the links (year, publisher, title) all lead to the same destination for a given title. - The scrollbar down the left gives erratic results - Not sure if everyone knows that the percent sign is the wildcard for database like queries. Perhaps imply it at the end (or both ends) if not specified? Other than that, I dig it. Now for that dynamic feedback model to adjust the rarity ratings... How much work (in hours) did it take to get to this point?

Re: [SWCollect] CURIOUS Guide
Thanks for the feedback, Dan... - Searching works well (but what does the icon w/the X-ed out glasses do)? I saw no visible results. [HF] There is actually hover-help for the buttons. Just mouse over it. That button clears any filters you have applied. - All the links (year, publisher, title) all lead to the same destination for a given title. [HF] It may seem that way when you mouse over the links, but clicking those links won't take you anywhere. Instead, it selects that row and puts the game in the Detail View at the bottom. If you can't see it, scroll down. It's useful for extra long titles, publishers, etc. Let me know if it isn't working for you please. - The scrollbar down the left gives erratic results [HF] Actually, just hit the up or down arrow (at the ends of the scroll bar) to move one page at a time (25 games per page). Click on the bar itself to go to that location in the entire list. Seems to be working right. - Not sure if everyone knows that the percent sign is the wildcard for database like queries. Perhaps imply it at the end (or both ends) if not specified? [HF] Very good point. I should at least put instructions. Other than that, I dig it. Now for that dynamic feedback model to adjust the rarity ratings... How much work (in hours) did it take to get to this point? [HF] Probably about 12 hours of actual workand about 2 weeks of waiting on gamespy (my host) to make changes or answer questions. Also, I originally tried to use MS SQL with ASP instead of MySQL with PHP and had to scrap and start over. Now that I know what I'm doing and am set up on Gamespy, I could do the whole thing in an hour or so. It helps that I'm using a PHP generation utility as the basis for my web page. It does a lot of the PHP work for me. Hugh -Original Message- From: Dan Chisarick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Apr 22, 2004 6:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] CURIOUS Guide Very nice.

Re: [SWCollect] CURIOUS Guide
- I don't get hover-over help. Tried with IE, Mozilla and Safari for OS X. - Links lead to the same destination: You said what I meant. I just worded it badly. - Hmmm, scrollbar seems happy now.
