  • Renan_S2 can't touch Swamp Search

    @Renan_S2 said:

     It's easy to do, and it's better when done with proper apps, like desktop search (Google Desktop, Beagle, etc...), photo managers (Adobe Lightroom, iPhoto, digiKam, F-Spot are the ones I can recall right now). Or even with grep, as I have done in the past.

    Swamp search is even better than cloud computing. With just a simple USB drive and SS you can take all your data with you. Favorite URL's, pictures, notes, videos, emails.. everything. Most of the above apps can't move as easily from computer to computer. But good going. By staying on top of the mountains of knowledge as you have.  You can share almost as good as Me.  

     When I need something I don't need to think about which app I'll use. Just SS and jam it.

    I don't like cloud computing, and I don't like Swamp search either. At least cloud computing is useful, unlike your app.

    With just a simple USB drive and SS you can take all your data with you.

     Why would I want to, if I already have a laptop with all my data?

     I'd rather think about the app I'll use, but use a good app that actually does its job. Instead of not thinking at all and just using your user-hostile 'SSDS'.

    Jamming it without sticking a noodle in there first?!  That sounds dangerous.



  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    If I recall correctly, Jam it is your euphemism for compiling.  So you're advocating recompiling every time you want your DATA.  I like that.

    Oh it's great!  Also, every time you add a new file to the data store you simply add the file name to the end of the myFiles array, recompile the entire codebase and data retrieval has reached awsomeness without having to use that bullshit 'indexing' mumbo jumbo.  All you have to do is change the search string (mySearchString) to match the file you are looking for, recompile the entire codebase WHAM as so as you fire up the app (a mere 48 seconds) your file is ready for use.

    Right, it seems to be a generic phrase for "do it".  He often used it in reference to adding your own lines to SSDS (i.e. "adding a noodle"), but it doesn't necessarily mean compilation.  However, I agree wholeheartedly with pstorer that jamming it should always be preceeded by the adding of at least one noodle, no matter the context.

    You do not have to recompile the code. You have to recompile the giant file with all of your data in plaintext. Just jam it to that file.

    You probably cannot recompile the code - The method advocated by SpectateSwamp seems to involve downloading the code, editing it (having to recreate the form and project yourself everytime as per his video) and then emailing it to a fellow Swampy and have them recompile the code and email you the .exe back due to the requirement that it only compiles in VB5. The only thing that prevents your spam filter / AV from instantly deleting the .exe is the fact the fictitious swampies he refers to probably don't have an email address due to the fact the are not real.

    Are we talkin about data collecting ninjas or something? USB enabled ninjas perhaps? I have no idea how a USB device is supposed to be sneaky though.

    Who on earth still has autorun enabled anyway? What is the sudden fascination with the word 'hoard' anyway as that seems to be the exact opposite of sharing and / or showing.

  • You're the #1 reason for sharing


    The primary reason for your hoards existance is you. You want the info so you keep it.

    Having good access to your knowledge makes it easier for you to share the info with yourself
    When you peruse your stash, your memory of those events is enhanced. By doing a few screen
    captures of these WTF screens and adding some notes I'll be able to look back a year or two
    from now and reminisce. In the future; people I have shared my digital treasures will say:
    Look at all Spectates friends, chatting and chatting with him as they learn how to share knowledge.


     



  • Near death sharing

    What about sharing at or near death? As we all know; everybody likes to share and tell secrets.
    Some of which should only be told after death. Have those notes encrypted and tagged to the end
    of a very large text file. (most other search engines won't index data at the end of big files)

    When you are feeling poorly and think you may be slipping away, email out those family secrets.

    Our family knows nothing about my Grandpa's past. He came from eastern Canada. I wish he could
    have left some notes.

     

     



  •  @SpectateSwamp said:

    No, have them encrypted on separate text files (in fact, this is my approach for quick-and-dirty note taking: vim + grep).

    It makes no sense to just throw everything on a very large file.

    This thread reminds me of grade school when all of the kids would chase down the one "special" kid in class, tie him up with a jump rope, beat him with sticks, maybe sodomize him with a baseball bat, pee in his hair and leave him on the playground for the teachers to find later.

    Don't let the Schoolmarm types and their rules scare you away from sharing.

    Politicians still plant lots of questions. It's easy to spot and record the stooges. If they really wanted open government. There would be an open link from the oval office to the net for at least half of the day. Everybody would be watching. If I were Mayor; all discussions would be videoed and posted on the web. Any special favours would be for all to see. It won't happen.

    I find it funny and a little aggravating when people who don't believe in God (and don't even come close to believing in God) say this.  At least you could say "Thank Dog" or something, since SS's dog probably had more to do with this "miracle" than this mystical being that you don't even believe exists.

    Furthermore, I would emphasize capitalizing Dog the same way I would capitalize God.  Obviously you hold Dog in reverence as he's kept SS out of office for so long.

    Or you could thank the God of Fuck, or just Fuck to his Friends.  The possibilities are limitless.  Just don't thank something you don't believe in.

    Yours truly, btk.
