I wonder how well the stand will go with this? If at all? There are no measurements on the Mugen site yet.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
fake, I'm interested in getting some of these. I didn't see this thread before so I may have missed something - will you need to PM me to give me ordering details? Should I PM you? There's no hurry so I could wait for the acrylic to arrive or whatever it takes. Located in the EU btw.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Can people please just read the first post. That clearly explains the current situation for ordering (pre-orders closed, online store opening for everyone shortly), shipping (included in cost, to anywhere in the world), etc.

TA-t3 2010-02-10 12:49

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Did that already, wasn't clear to me. Re-read it, still isn't clear. I'll wait it out anyway, if there's a public online store opening.

el3ctronick 2010-02-10 12:55

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
site opened last night and as long as there was stock, anyone that placed an order was contacted with the link of the store and a password to enter it. you may be able to ask fake if he can supply you as last night i think he had a few wooden stands left..not sure if he still has them..else you ll wait for the next laser round.. :P

I am really sorry for the lack of clarity -- I'm really working like an idiot to get all these orders out.

The store will be open to the public very shortly -- if not tonight, then tomorrow. You'll get stands! Believe me, I really want to get you a stand.

I'm still working on some way to automate the shipping as we speak, and I also have to go to school today, and also have some pressing family matters to attend to (sick parent). Gonna be a crazy couple of days. Once I get all the different parts of this system working, it should be a breeze.

I updated the first post with the following:

Quote:

Don't worry if you missed the preorder. I will be publicly opening a web store this week -- probably on Friday. From that point on they will available for purchase by anyone. It might take until Friday to get another batch done, and to get the store ready.

I will not have credit card processing set up by Friday, turns out the approval process takes longer than that. For now, if you want to pay with a check, we can arrange that, and also you can pay with a Visa from inside your PayPal account. Very sorry for the delay.

2 FREE STANDS OF YOUR CHOICE

we have some winners, contest over.

To the first person who can give me an Excel macro to replace the country code (eg US for United States or FI for Finland) with the actual name of the country in a given column.

Here's an example spreadsheet. Must work on this spreadsheet. In Excel.

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/order_..._countries.csv

Here are all the country codes if you need a reference.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

I don't care if you find it on Google or write it yourself, I just don't want to think about this problem right now. If this is an unreasonable amount of work, I guess just ignore this.

EDIT: If you already ordered, I will refund and/or change your order if you can do this.

Didn't see this when posting

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Close, but doesn't quite work here, check this screenshot:

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/not_quite.jpg

I will refund and/or change your order once this is working.

Also, if you'll be so kind as to briefly explain to me how to use it on a much more complicated spreadsheet, that would be great. The columns of interest are identical, though.

The error with the spreadsheet result given to you by JonWW is being caused because the country lookup table in Sheet1 has a space after each country code, which is giving odd results. Remove the spaces from after each country code in Sheet1, and itll output the correct lookup results.

Edit:
Heres a (dirtily) fixed sheet
Edit again.. wrong file attached, sorry. Use this:

$5 discount to nid0 (if you want it) for pointing out the error. JonWW, can you fix this? It will mean the first 50 or so orders will ship today, because I'm not sitting around manually editing stuff.

Hows this?

The vlookup uses the 2nd sheet as a source table. Syntax of vlookup is as follows:

=VLOOKUP(A2,LookupTable!$A$2:$B$256,2,FALSE)

1st: Item to look up
2nd: Location of lookup table (note the $ syntax to stop the table moving if you move or drag the result cell)
3rd: Which coloum to return from the lookup table
4th: Allow loose matching...

Hope that helps..

EDIT: fixed a typo (not -> note)

Thanks a lot for that - See my post again, it's been edited to include a dirtily fixed up spreadsheet for you, it can easily be neatened if need be but works.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
OK,

Well, now I have a conundrum. JonWW almost nailed it, nid0 provided insight and a quick and dirty answer, and bobnova gave me a working solution and instructions.

You all helped, what do you want? :)

That was embarrassing :confused: didn't check it. I saw countries were created so assumed correct, sorry about that.

What is the address format you are using, do you have an example.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
I'm very happy to pay for such a cool product. I have been catching up with the last few pages of this thread and don't seem to have a PM or confirmation of my preorder anywhere.

So if I could get 1 black wood + 1 acrylic and a link for where to pay I'd be very happy!

Cheers

nidO 2010-02-10 17:00

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
As with bobnova, i'm plenty happy enough to pay whatever you're asking for 1 wood and 1 acrylic stand, my original request in this thread came a little late for preorders though so i'm currently eagerly waiting on the public store!

fake 2010-02-10 17:01

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Bobnova, you can have that and a discount, as well.

Nid0, Bobnova, JonWW please email me [danreetz @ g m@il.com] when you order (or with your order number) and I'll refund a big chunk of your order when you're done. This saved me a lot of fooling around. I needed this to get Shopify to play nice with Endicia.

As for the sample data, here's some butchered/anonymized data that you could play with if you are so inclined. The column of interest is "shipping country".

All my thanks are belong to you.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
bobnova, nidO, how do I contact you? You're not accepting PMs. email me at the address I posted above for instructions.

nidO 2010-02-10 17:10

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
I think as we both have low post counts we don't have access to private messaging, it's currently forcibly disabled for my account with no apparent way to enable it. I've emailed you though, thanks.

bobnova 2010-02-10 17:27

Yeah no PMing for me either... I've emailed you as well fake.

UPDATE Wednesday 12:12 PM -- I found out that I have a test in class today, so I can't skip (again).

Post office stops shipping out at 2:00PM (class ends after that), so all pre-orders will be mailed tomorrow, February 11, 2010, first thing in the morning.

I am sorry that I couldn't do it today, but I've really skipped as much school as I can to get this done.

Really looking forward to getting these out the door. All the envelopes are packed, all that's left is to print/buy postage and get them out in the mail.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Wow thats a great job!!! i like these stands. Do you also ship to switzerland? i would take some! I'm shure my brother would take some too. would be great ;) thank you

Gadgetoid 2010-02-11 00:22

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Nice work! The stand is definitely the N900s weakest point, aside from it being physically smaller than the N810 (my poor eyes!) Nice idea on the dual pack, as one for home and one for work would be the sensible configuration!

Drop me a PM if you're interested in a video review + regular review at Gadgetoid.com.

moerderameise 2010-02-11 10:17

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
@fake: you thanked me on my post but didn't anser ;) I think 4-6 stands would be sold to switzerland if you ship there. interesting would be the price incl. shipping to good old switzerland ;) i can give you my e-mail for more details if its helpful. unfortunately i'm fresh registered to this forum, reading long time ago, and so i ca't send private messages, don't know if i can receive some...
thank you for your answer, hope positive one :D

Someone will help? Do you deliver to Bulgaria? I want to buy 2 of the wooden stands? What is the price + delivery to Bulgaria.
Pay through paypal !

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
*Sigh*

He's said numerous times that he's prepared to ship absolutely anywhere. The shipping is included in the costs (which are on the first page), and the store will be open in the next day or two.

There's no use posting further order requests on this thread, as they'll only be ignored. Once the store is open, a link will be posted. You can then place your orders on there, the same as any other online store.

moerderameise 2010-02-11 11:07

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
ok thanks for information! so i'm looking forward for the store. thumbs up
