We are working on the calendar, but we are both clueless in cafepress and broke things.
Does anyone have any experience with it?

Maybe Trump can fix it.

@Baud: Doesn’t that depend on which definition of fix you use?
HinTN
I can break something just by walking by it, but with online commerce I am but a lowly consumer. As one who strongly desires to procure a BJ calendar, I hope you find someone to fix this thing.

@HinTN:
Or as my dad would say, “Bill, you could fuck up a steel ball with a rubber band”. Just realized today was the 36th anniversary of his passing.?

Have you tried rebooting it? Checking to see if it’s plugged in? Reversing the polarity of the neutron flow? Duct tape?
One of those usually works.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@dmsilev: Wait, you try the Duct tape AFTER reversing the plarity of the neutron flow? I was doing backwards, silly me.
dmsilev
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Well, if you use the duct tape first, you have to flip it over. As the saying goes, duct tape is like The Force: It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Only, “may duct tape be with you” doesn’t sound quite as classy.
p.a.
…may have something to do with the end of net neutrality…

@dmsilev: Percussive maintenance. My go to.

@dmsilev: today I watched an episode where the Doctor tried reversing the polarity but ended up saving the day by turning it off and then on again.

I do print production, but I don’t know from Cafepress. If you could give me an idea of what you have and in what format/platform, perhaps I can help.
Well, hell, my power just went out and probably will be that way until morning, but I’ll check in when I can. Going offline now to save the battery. And read by candlelight.

@dmsilev:
First, Use force. (Omnes hit this one first)
Second, Use logic. This rarely works but is always worth a try.
Third, Read the manual. This is often hit or miss so then you have to revert to first principles and wack the crap out of it.

@Omnes Omnibus: “If it doesn’t work, hit it with a hammer. If it still doesn’t work, find a bigger hammer.”

@Ruckus: often the manual at least points you at where to best hit it.

@Baud:
It will be the BEST and GREATEST calendar. Ever.

Red Green has a helpful video.

@dmsilev: measure once then cut. too short! cut again… still too short!!!
HinTN
@dmsilev: If you can’t fix it with a hammer and a chisel it can’t be fixed.

Do not cross the streams.
dmsilev
@p.a.: Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe.

@dmsilev: In my line of work the saying went “Never force anything … just get a bigger hammer”

Does this mean it’s not too late to send in some pics? Because I totally fucked that up again this year.
dmsilev
@Major Major Major Major: I have, honest to God, reversed the polarity of a neutron flow. Ok, neutron beam, but close enough.
(Spin polarization of the neutrons, used in neutron scattering experiments, which are a powerful tool for studying certain types of magnet properties)
Another Scott
Comparing the CafePress page source for the 2017 and 2018 calendar pages, there’s a whole bunch of stuff missing on the 2018 page. Specifically, compare the stuff after the [p class=”breadCrumb”] line.
It looks like it should be easy to fix by someone who has r/w access to the site, and who knows the relevant “ids” for the calendar.
(Sorry if this is obvious.)
Good luck getting it fixed. HTH a little.
Cheers,
Scott.

@dmsilev: I believe Pertwee came up with that line while trying to deal with the constant stream of technobabble in the scripts.

@dmsilev: Spot on.

will you be accepting bitcoin for payment? maybe that will convince Cafepress to show it.
