I don’t get a purple button crash but i do get upload errors daily. I figured out that was only the first things I try to upload when I get home. I think it’s got to be a session timeout because when I log out and back in, it works. I leave my laptop logged in to the app on the machine screen after the last print. When I come back 16 hours later I appear to still be logged in. It’s reading the forge’s status correctly and lets me get back to the catalog screen but then it gives me an error whenever I try to upload again. Log out & back in and everything is good,
You’d think I’d just log out at the end of a session or remember to do that when I come back but I think that must be the part of my brain that I got dropped on as a kid It always takes at least two attempts before I do the dope slap.
Operator error. But the GFUI should either log you out or give a better error message.
Wondered what the insanely long lines were about as I was leaving. But didn’t wonder enough to ASK anyone… And I had even seen all of the cooking trays fully loaded a few hours before…
Hit up an AMAZING Indian/Chinese place. The samosas had some kind of salty tasting but pepper looking seasoning sprinkled on them… was so good.
Fascinating, because the same thing seems to be true of another big cloud product, the Spark/Particle Core/Photon/etc. When you fire up the command line after a hiatus it tells you you’re still logged in and lets you do some things, but not others. Figured that out lots of troubleshooting later. (That should probably be a thing for any cloud-based app – if there’s a problem, start by logging out and logging back in)
Yeah. I don’t have an expectation that it should necessarily keep my session active if I’m not using it all day but a word of warning in the User Manual and a better error message (like “Session expired, please log back in.”) would seem to be warranted.
The suggestion is valid. FYI: My laptop is never logged out of the app unless I need to. Occasionally, not often, I’ll get an error after waking up the computer that requires me to log off or at least close the app before it will work properly. Probably related to S/W updates.
IT HAS BEEN SO AWESOME MEETING ALL OF YOU! Heading over for Day 1 (or 2? what day is it?!) soon.
This was my best attempt of an “empty” booth photo of the GF booth - this was a few minutes before the doors offically opened for Friday@MakerFaire yesterday. I’ll try to get some actual empty ones today!
small fingers: the wax on, wax off component of having a laser is weeding. “So, you want to print something on the Glowforge? First, you have to sit here and weed these Scrabble tiles, then you will know what it is like to have a laser.”
I feel like Charlie; I’m waiting on a Golden Ticket, I’m on my way to the Makers Fair and I might get a glimpse of Willy Wonka (or Wanka if u prefer) himself
