Nobody shares knowledge better than this

    You really havent kept up with the whole Obama Youtube thing have you. Or the knockon trend it has had on politics and 'open government' overseas.

     

    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.

     

    Let's just put it on C-SPAN3 - yet another channel that 99.5% of people will steadfastly ignore.  Besides, that way when you're living out in a shack that only gets dialup, you can still watch if you really really want to.  I'm pretty sure the Unabomber didn't have DSL either.

  • Video == Knowledge <> PR

    Sharing unedited video is the purest form of sharing knowledge, everything
    else is hearsay. Especially during political events. Don't be fooled by the old
    public media's attempt at informing us. There is a ton of interesting stories on the
    local level, that are surrounded by rumor and need net video to get the truth out.
    The old media isn't about truth, it's about money and power.

    Share your local political videos my Swampies.

    What about forming a direct link between brains and letting knowledge flow unhindered, eh?



  • @SpectateSwamp said:

  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    Sharing unedited video is the purest form of sharing knowledge, everything

    Assuming anyone can be bothered to watch the entire thing, coherent and honest editing however can provide the same information in a more concise and digestible form. All the bits when people are leaving / entering the stage, toilet breaks, confusion over how to turn the microphone on / off etc don't really constitute knowledge sharing in my mind and would in fact cause me to lose interest and stop watching.

    Shoot lots of short clips. Even capture some of the intermission. But don't edit the results. Ever.

    In my limited time following political forums, I have captured plants, forum question rigging, and
    one councilor who excused himself from the debate because he wasn't at the first meeting. Then sat
    in the crowd and gave the (slash across the throat) cut them off signal to the moderator.

    Locally there was a large development that didn't take place because the town and county rubes got greedy
    Insider property dealings, sex and sleaze are at the local level.

    When you know part of the story the local dirty politics become more interesting. Share local video
    knowledge with your community and you will be doing your good deed.

  • Swampie is back!  Hooray!  This made my day.  Funny thing, I mentioned SSDS in the Bad Code Offsets article comments before I knew of or even suspected the existence of this thread.

    10,000+ lines of code in 1 powerful program. Add a noodle or 2 and jam it. Change it easily to suit your needs. Obviously few of you are using SSDS to organize yourselves. Otherwise you would be saying: "you know SS is right, we do have better control over our data than anybody on the planet"

    Any program that works can easily be cleaned up. Fix a bit and jam it. Repeat till done.

    It's easy to share digital info when you have it by the throat. SSDS does that for us. Or is it the Medicine Stones?

    Tomorrow I'll share 1 more unrelated bit of knowledge that is quite timely.

SpectateSwamp (while jamming his USB stick into DDC's USB slot): No, it's really great, see... [starts SSDS and enters some weird combinations of letters, screen shows a scene from a local political debate where one of the spokesmen is blowing his nose] no, that's not it... [SpectateSwamp types another curious string, and the screen scrolls "THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE YOU RETARD" in giant red letters. The coworker smirks] oh, no, that's from tdwtf.txt... *snip 2 hours* Dumb dumb coworker: *snore* SpectateSwamp: Ah there, I got it! [The screen shows a screen capture of a video editing software in which a video taped screen is shown that shows a YouTube video (uploaded by SpectateSwamp) which shows a tobacco leaf] Look there, an UFO!

    Derula Derula DerulaSwamp what's the problem. How come you are so edgy? I'm mentaly giving you a big squeeze right now.

    What I was going to share today is my latest Alien video. I shot 11 clips on Nov 11 this past. On the first 30 second clip there was a shiny object right at the end of the video. Less than a second. I finally got around to checking the rest of the videos and didn't see any other activity. Today I played back that second of HD video 1 frame at a time and saved that frame to a jpg file. There were 26 in all. When zoomed in to the max there are 2 shiny objects the smaller of the 2 is leading at such a short distance that they could be joined? I'll post those 26 pics temporarily somewhere and give you the URL. Now that is sharing. First you find or do something of value. And push it on a bunch of unsuspectings like at this forum.  

    Maybe that is why Derula is so nasty. Derula is an Alien and doesn't want me sharing my vast vast alien hunting capabilities with you. That's got to be it.

    What creeps me out the most is that he stopped inserting manual line breaks.

    Manual line breaks are comming back. You have me so creeped out with spelling and grammer that I use notepad to put down my thoughts and then run a spell checker against it.

    Yes You are special and pretty funny at that.


    What good are the search results for "Best desktop search engine" from 2005 (worse than useless) But with the net, if you dig down far enough you can find current knowledge.

    When you find interesting or extremely funny knowledge; do a screen capture like SS. That website won't be around forever but your *jpg will be.

    Same with video. Grab a copy. Same with work info. copy it all. Because disk space will remain forever empty.

    Start sharing your knowledge with yourself. Like the rest of the Swampies

    Why not just save the page? Easier than taking a series of screen shots that prevent you searching on the textual content.

     @SpectateSwamp said:

  • Take on H1N1 without vaccinations - Flu Knowledge shared


    Pick a date for the fight. The weekend is best.

    Get prepared. with lots of rest. Have all your top flu fighters available
    colloidal silver, hot toddies, sambucol, vitamins, juices, couch and blankie etc.

    Start psyching yourself up for taking on this tuff flu. Don't let that tiny bug keep you inside and afraid
    of visiting your friends. Hammer those little critters good.

    This flu tends to cause a lot of coughing. To the point the stomach hurts. Practice coughing to buff up
    those areas the flu attacks. Marijuana smokers can skip this step.

    Go looking for H1N1. A day or two before the weekend, like wednesday or thursday.  Go visit old folks
    homes, malls. When you hear a cough move that way and interact with the individual. Flu victims
    will tell you people tend to scurry away at the first sign of a hacker / cougher. Give them some of
    your flu fighting remedies. After a day or two of this, You will be infected. So start acting like it.
    Go to bed early and continue drinking lots of fluids. Beer is fine too. Lay on the couch watching
    football and doing next to nothing but napping and fighting.

    I did the above (took a H1N1 victim to and from the hospital) and had the chills friday night and was a
    little off my food and at about 80% on Saturday. That was it. A friend that had the vaccination had a worse
    reaction than that. He was quite worried when he got faint and sick.

    If you use these instructions and die. I'll deny everything. Geeze I'm the stupidest man on Earth.

    Recess made schooling more bearable. Exams sure didn't make knowledge sharing pleasant. (Unless you were

    There might be fun schools too.

    We always had great distractions and pets outdoors. There were plenty of fun spots and games outside.
    Kick the can, British buldog, anti-i-over, rock fights...The old mill, the slough and backwaters.
    All were great fun until somebody got hurt or caught. TV and computers changed all that.

    The recent media coverage about spelling bees, sure makes me sick. Champions Bla bla bla.
    soooo smaaaart.. Come on kids and adults. Get outside have some fun.

    What the hell. Here I'm preaching outside and fun to a bunch of pale underexposed bookworms,
    whose friends can't come play. You poor poor shutins.
