Subject: CellarTracker! v1.0.19

Here is a belated announcement of changes that went live late last night.

Generate my own barcodes for inventory
Oh yeah, this is ready now! Last night I was able to print out 922 labels each loaded with nice info (ratings and drinking windows from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, International Wine Cellar (Tanzer), and BurgHound; store name, purchase price, purchase date), so now I am going to spend the next week sticking these on all my bottles…

NOTE: There is still no UI on the site to get to the new pages I added, but that is next up. Anyway, the good news for you is that you can draft on me here, purchase equipment etc. This is going to be a great, great inventory management feature! Again, here is the equipment I am using:

BARCODE SCANNER: CipherLab 1000B-USB ($80) http://www.cobrasystems.com
BARCODE PRINTER: Dymo LabelWriter 330 ($160) http://www.dymo.com or http://www.amazon.com
BARCODE LABELS: Dymo 30336 (White 1" x 2-1/8" Labels), $14.95 for 500 labels, http://www.dymo.com

Better typedown behavior in listboxes
Thanks Patrick! Most listboxes now allow you to type consecutive character and select the appropriate item in the list. This only works with IE 5.5+ on Windows.

BUG: URL-encoding Producer names
Thanks for pointing this out Patrick. I wasn't properly URL-encoding the names of Producers and other strings when forming hyperlinks, and this would result in errors if the Producer had an ampersand (&) in their name for example.

Also, I took the opportunity to update the Wine Advocate ratings for all the 2000 Bordeaux wines in our cellars. (In 28 days the eRobertParker site will have the full review text available from the recent issue, so then I will revisit these and update them again.)

Let mw know if you see any problems, and if/when you get your barcode equipment I am happy to help you get all your labels printed out. Once you do this, you will be amazed at how cool it is. Meanwhile, I am probably going to add a lot of features to the site centered around using these labels in logical scenarios (inventory removal, inventory reconciliation etc.)

Thanks,
Eric LeVine
