I could tell you software horror stories. The most elegant code that couldn't run. Written by a Mensa who refused to change it because it was soooo elegant
It was beautiful code. Just like you nerds want. A piece of spagett here and there and the program would probably have worked and done a fine job. But as it was She was soon sent packing. The replacement was much much better.
Don't you love how he still refuses to actually answer questions.
Does this mean SpectateSwamp fails the Turing test ?
What if I a bot randomly insults everyone and models a generally stupid and annoying person, how does it do in terms of the Turing test ?

Video of STARTUP - Spectate Swamp Desktop Search
The Other forum wanted to see me search a big file. They were going to do a similar video with theirs.anyway you can see the freshly uploaded vid at:

Dude, serriously, could you spare us? And wtf is with the lame out of focus cam-corder/laptop screen capture? What is this, wooden table v 2.insane? A simple google search would reveal great opensource tools that help you do what you want, written by people who don't write shitty code. One of those is Cam Studio, a personal favorite of mine. Then again, when you're SpectateSwamp, it's all about re-inventing the wheel right? Even if the wheel is a triangle made out of super glue....(pic for reference).

Re-inventing the wheel. I was using Vax search in the Mid 80's This program does a lot what that did, but has video music pics and a lot lot more. When You can look at the code and see what it does for video and music you'll love it. I'll show that next.
You all are getting more Desktop Search Knowledge than anybody but ME.

Digital Video is the answer
Now you can start it. How about trying the auto catalog for mpeg or mp3 files. Prompt #2 option "gf"
My next video will show you how to do both the gf and the random random playback with freeze frame
None of these features make it the killer app. But I still got lots more to show you about in this BAD code.
Who is brave enough to try it and join me on my side.???

Then we can scan the negatives, invert color them, print them on photo paper, have a slide show using the photo paper generated thanks to our simian friends, and now we have a video that can be recorded for use in spectateSearch without the hassle of generating a text file.

Getting a huge text file dump should be easy. On over 50 Telco and Cable conversions. they all came as text files. This system can randomly show you your mpeg files. Any software that can catalog the video to text... Wow I'd use that file and a little more formatting. Presto I have all the video cataloging done.

No. Text files are useless. You can use any text editor to do the same thing as what you are doing. And it would do it better.
Randomly displaying mpg files is not 'searching' and is NOT useful. Not to mention Windows Media Player can do the same thing. It is called shuffle. In fact I know of no video players that CANT do this.

Neither are we interested too much...
@SpectateSwamp said:
That's why I have never had any takers on a desktop search challenge.
Sure that's the only reason?
Just to keep the discussion going: Why don't you open up an Open Source Community project at one of the well known places? Of course you'd need to download the Internet to your computer first, convert it into a text file and then use Desktop Search to find the URL, right? Well, maybe you can just video the Internet, play it backwards (in slow motion), and stop right at the frame that's right for you (make sure that the sound does not play forward while doing so - that might confuse you).
No... that would not work either. Guessing from the crap-quality proof-of-concept movie we've seen above, you would not be able to read the URL anyway... What can we do? How about that: Just do a Google sear... no. That one uses indexing and thus a product right out of hell...
Well I guess that the community will just have to make without Desktop Search... so far it has been doing quite well, don't you think?

I've could go both ways on it at this point. I'm thinking he could be a real person who's a decent programmer and generated/transformed that code from another language..I would also bet that the flow chart / program logic don't match up, but who the hell want's to find out. I think that's the point, a disgruntled programmer trying to get people to use/evaluate his brainfuck app.
On the other hand, the posts are all very similar in nature, but different tones on this board vs the other one he's on. Also, if it was a bot I'd expect him to be on more than a few boards. That's not to say a decent programmer couldn't create a configurable bot and set timing/post count/keyword triggers. The question is, why would someone write something like this*(assuming it's not generated) when EVERYONE knows google search. I don't understand it at all, but it's like watching a really long train wreck, it's hard to look away. I think if he's real, him and The PHP Master Architect should combine forces to create the next killer bit torrent or email client app.The Master could write his own open source multi threading library for VB...that doesn't actually use threads. Then SpectacteSwamp could make random calls to the lib all through to code, leveraging his search app and ability to display things randomly at his fingertips. Wow

Some of you with 50,000 files. Good grief, no wonder you spend all day looking for filenames filenames filenames.
Merging makes filenames unimportant. It's the content you are always looking for. You don't go looking for a word file, thinking I'm going to re mail that to so and so. Doesn't happen. The formatting in word makes it pretty but reduces it's portability and sharability. DATA SHOULD BE SHARED
