Andy, Brendo, any word when the mail out of judging sheets is happening?
Cheers

Did anyone end up getting their scoring sheets?

I got my prize but no scoring sheets...

still waiting here too mate.

Mostly my fault folks, along with a couple of hickups as team members have had babies and things like that.

But no excuses - I'm just uploading the spreadsheets and will be emailing out sheets tonight or tomorrow night.

If anyone didn't put an email address on their entry, you can shoot a mail to [email protected] and I'll add you to the batch I send out.

If you don't have an email address, you're probably not reading this

Regards,

Andy

what about prizes? i still havent got mine

 

[stevewahb]

Looking forward to that scoresheet :beer:

 

[murrayr]

are they sent yet? i haven't received mine!

 

[manticle]

Haven't got mine yet either Murray. I figure it's on the way. I've saved my last bottle of robust porter so I can read the comments and see if they make sense in the tasting.

 

[manticle]

Anybody else got theirs yet?

My last bottle of porter is patiently waiting to be consumed with the notes but I've not yet got them.

There was some discussion of this topic at the Melbourne Brewers meeting last night.

Basically between yours truly pulling out as organizer, other committee members having to travel O/S, peoples babies being deliver weeks early, lets just say there have been a few blockers to getting the scoresheets out (and remainder of prizes).

I did this job last year and to put it bluntly it an absolute c**t of a job.

We are all very aware they should have been out by now, and hopefully it will be done within the next month.

 

[manticle]

When they come, they come. It's more an issue of making sure I haven't dropped off the list (ie everyone else gets theirs but I get left in the corner).

Cheers

Ok everyone,

The last of the emailed scoresheets hs gone out now, so if anyone didn't get them, please shoot an email to [email protected] to let me know and I will correct the problem as soon as I can.

Snail mail sheets (for the 10 brewers who didn't provide an email address) will be around 2 weeks away.

Sorry again for the delay.

Andy

Email sent.

BTW Andy, i still need to be added to the Melbourne brewers mailing list!

Cheers! :icon_cheers:

Looks like a stuff up on my part - some of your mail server's didn't like my mailer domain, so I've had a shot at fixing it and (unfortunately for some) I'm sending the lot again.

That means some of you will get your scoresheets twice - sorry about that!

It's just about to hit 2am over here, so I won't be back at my machine for another 12 hours - if this doesn't work I'm sure someone will let me know and I'll have another shot tomorrow night.


Andy

 

[Andyd]

Ok. I know what the problem is now, but I won't be fixing it until tomorrow afternoon our time (hopefully 12 hours won't see people jumping off bridges, or worse still coming after me with pitchforks and burning torches!)

Cheers!

Andy

Are other people getting email results and unable to read them? i.e

Rm3Z79DzxXmnxP8Ajfr3iL9pjwppWm+L47XwF4b8R2Ecz2GoBbS8U7ZJp55Vba6qTtIJ2gDp
1amGh9k3fxJ+Hdho9r4gvfHnhm30m9Zltb+TV7dbe4ZfvCOQvtcjuFJIre03UdP1ixt9T0m

Does that mean the beer was ok? or my computer is Southern English vintage?

 

[manticle]

I got mine and was unable to read the result using download managing software. However generic windows open/save default thingy opened it ok. Did it open as a PDF or as a getattachment.aspx thingamajig?

I have received one of two.

 

[haysie]

Flame suit on., been canned before for being a little computer illiterant, here we go. No pdf attachment, just a mess. Why not snail mail as it has been before?
All for :super: the online stuff when its right! The waits getting a little silly giving the judging sheets are b&w and only need posting.
I think heaps n heaps of entrants would be frustrated by the turnaround. I see the problem being ,new technology vrs old and some wanting to push the "new" before its tried n true.!
I`ll be grassed for this post.

 

[manticle]

Andrew did say if there were any issues he would post them out. Maybe they're just trialling a different system?

I'm not sure as it's my first comp so I don't know how things are usually run but if you can get the emails to work then it's going to be simpler, quicker and less costly.

Obviously if and when it doesn't work it's frustrating though.

If yours wasn't a pdf then I'm guessing the file has been corrupted or somesuch and you'll have to wait for them to resend or post.

 

[haysie]

Still pissed with this email thing, the file sizes are fkn huge. Then I cant read it :angry:

My email is outlook, never had a problem with pdf files in the past. Any comp gurus care to comment?
Thanks

 

[manticle]

Haysie,

I'm not a guru but it seems as if there can be an issue with some outlook versions reading mime formats.

Which version of outlook are you using and which version of windows? You may need to update outlook (or windows) and download the latest service pack or something.

If you're not used to doing such things, that may be more of a pain than you're willing to go to at the moment. If that's the case, maybe email andrew D and see if you can get him to send in a different format.

The other alternative I can suggest is to go to the actual email account your outlook is linked to (bypassing outlook altogether) and try opening it that way.
