- what: ICQ dialogue between Bubba and Woozle
- Discussion resumes 2 days later.
Bubba 2/7/03 2:31 PM Yes I think that getting the Flores domains
would be a good thing and then we could do
more of a complete package for their merch.
We'd be their online rep for their merch and
get commissions on wholesale orders placed
through us.
woozle 2/7/03 2:44 PM I sent a follow-up email... got ...floresart,
but ...flores is tied up somehow.
woozle 2/7/03 2:45 PM I just signed up for eFax... about to test it.
Bubba 2/7/03 2:45 PM did you get alexanderflores.com?
woozle 2/7/03 2:46 PM it's tied up
woozle 2/7/03 2:46 PM as I was saying
woozle 2/7/03 2:46 PM (both in the email and just now)
Bubba 2/7/03 2:47 PM thought it was just flores.com that was tied
up
Bubba 2/7/03 2:47 PM reading
woozle 2/7/03 2:47 PM no... I was abbreviating
woozle 2/7/03 2:47 PM got ...floresart (meaning
alexanderfloresart.com) but not ...flores
(meaning alexanderflores.com)
Bubba 2/7/03 2:48 PM what about floresart.com?
woozle 2/7/03 2:49 PM didn't check
Bubba 2/7/03 2:49 PM I know its a long one but this is their name
theartofalexanderflores.com
Bubba 2/7/03 2:51 PM find a really short one like taaf.com and
redirect to the long official name
Bubba 2/7/03 2:51 PM or taoaf.com
woozle 2/7/03 2:51 PM if we had more time, we could get several, set
up redirects for each, and log the traffic --
then keep the ones that got substantial
traffic.
Bubba 2/7/03 2:52 PM are you in netsol rt now?
woozle 2/7/03 2:52 PM no
woozle 2/7/03 2:52 PM sending a fax to myself
woozle 2/7/03 2:53 PM gotta go for a bit
Bubba 2/7/03 2:53 PM k i'll check taoaf the tao of alexander
flores because the first step to zen is
appreciating beauty
Bubba 2/7/03 2:55 PM taoaf.com is available
woozle 2/7/03 2:55 PM a domain is generally not worth anything
unless it is (a) extremely obvious or (b)
advertised. alexanderfloresart is (b) and
alexanderflores.com is (a). The others are
kinda random, seems to me.
woozle 2/7/03 2:56 PM back innan hower
Bubba 2/7/03 2:57 PM would we not do a little ad blitz to get us
noticed for being the flores portal
Bubba 2/7/03 2:57 PM it would make sense once people saw the words
The Art of Alexander Flores as the title
woozle 2/7/03 4:04 PM if we had an ad blitz budget, sure. We don't.
Bubba 2/7/03 4:26 PM I was thinking just like $50 w/only Flores
related wrods
Bubba 2/7/03 4:26 PM or words
woozle 2/7/03 4:28 PM not worth the trouble; overture's a PitB
Bubba 2/7/03 4:28 PM have you checked to see if the two other
shirts Les Hewa ordered are here
woozle 2/7/03 4:28 PM notchet
woozle 2/7/03 4:28 PM will import
woozle 2/7/03 4:29 PM downloading efax's fax viewer... apparently
they send the faxes in a proprietary format
Bubba 2/7/03 4:29 PM I'll do a check on the #'s for Flores
inquiries on Google and Overture
Bubba 2/7/03 4:30 PM whuzz proprietary format?
woozle 2/7/03 4:30 PM can't view it with any other program
Bubba 2/7/03 4:31 PM is that bad?
woozle 2/7/03 4:32 PM it's a nuisance.
woozle 2/7/03 4:32 PM Means you can't see the faxes in your email
program, you have to detach the attachment and
load it in the efax viewer.
Bubba 2/7/03 4:32 PM yes that does suck
woozle 2/7/03 4:33 PM I'm investigating other services
Bubba 2/7/03 4:38 PM before we get to far into this year like we
did last year, I'd appreciate it if you'd do a
monthly accounting of the 80/20 breakdown and
then - merch costs to find profit I'm not
seeing.
woozle 2/7/03 4:38 PM ok
woozle 2/7/03 4:39 PM was thinking the same thing
Bubba 2/7/03 4:39 PM I'm OK w/it going to keep us afloat and I'd
like us both to see it
Bubba 2/7/03 4:40 PM was the eFax thing to satisfy the getting the
orders to the suppliers in a form they can
deal with?
Bubba 2/7/03 4:43 PM are they being sent to both of us?
Bubba 2/7/03 4:45 PM is it the official fax # for RH
woozle 2/7/03 4:46 PM the fax thing was cuz we keep getting aborted
faxes at the number here... I'm thinking
they're probably from customers... but it
would be nice to be able to get updates on
discontinueds again from LB/MT, and if fax is
how they want to do it, I guess we'd better
support fax.
woozle 2/7/03 4:46 PM (blinkin' philistines.)
Bubba 2/7/03 4:47 PM Chuck Ell
woozle 2/7/03 4:47 PM The efax # was an arbitrary phone # they
assigned me. I haven't listed it online
because I don't think I'm going to use it.
Bubba 2/7/03 4:47 PM kmp
woozle 2/7/03 4:47 PM I have set up an email address for faxes to be
sent to, and once I have them working I will
have it redirected to office@vbz.net which
goes to both of us.
Bubba 2/7/03 4:48 PM k
Bubba 2/7/03 4:48 PM ewl
woozle 2/7/03 5:27 PM in answer to your earlier Q -- no other shirts
needed to pull. Send Among the Pines ASAP (I
had hoped it could go out today). Thx.
Bubba 2/7/03 7:01 PM did I ever tell you that the color of the
hypertwins background is the color my bedroom
was when I was 15-18?
woozle 2/7/03 7:43 PM S says "mine too! and it was a color i
specifically selected..."
Bubba 2/7/03 7:50 PM that she selected for her room or you selected
for the site?
woozle 2/7/03 7:50 PM she selected for her room, but it's her fave
color (more or less) & that's why I chose it
Bubba 2/7/03 7:50 PM kewl
Bubba 2/7/03 7:51 PM Jess is using my machine to check her email so
I'm away for a minute
woozle 2/7/03 7:51 PM k
Bubba 2/7/03 7:51 PM brb
