Did you find Jesus on your toast this morning too?
So it's you, too? I thought it was only my when I found him on mine, struggling and half-dead as he was. What did you two do with him? I had him enclosed in some plastic. Gotta love the few bubbles that got conserved along with him, or the horrified look on his face. Really adorable. Maybe I should sell him to a local church as a relic.
Shh. We had better. Keep quiet about this. The Catholic Church was trying to
rebrand him as the Buddy Christ.
Too scary,you

You're half way. There. But you still have to learn. Wisdom of Desktop Search does not come. All by itself you know.
But that's okay. I know you have not written. A great great oh so great search by yourself. Like the MFD about
EmmDee. It's just not feasible. To comprehend, for some. I am the DesktopSearch expert here. You must ask more
questions. To be enlightened. This forum has come along way. But still more much more to go. Check out my new
YouTube video. For SlowMotion and RanDom BackWards MuSic. You all have potential, I see. But are not quite there
yet. To become a real Swampy. One must manage Reshoot Random Reverse Prompt #1, and prompt #2. My text files
are not an InDex. Index has been invented by the PerfectPerfects to make everything. Very difficult. For the Non-Techies.
They can't understand Index. Never will. Because they are not enlightened.Gee, my stones are so good so very good. I think one is smiling at me. With big eyes. Gotta check the books again what
that means. Maybe it wants to tell me. Something. Maybe the end of the world comes earlier. Old dancer should collect
his. Bones and start dancing again. To save the world. With SSDS and gf at prompt #2, we can alien dinosaur skin 2012.
Random with music. Gotta love it. Nothing else needed. For the Non-Techie. And Alien Desktop Search. Haha, you'll

Sharing to the Max on the Mini - With Swamp search
Oh you of a thousand solutions. Teach the uninitiated your way of computing, with it's never ending learning curve. With little ole Swamp search they can be up to speed learning and storing their knowledge; in an afternoon at SwampShack. All they really need to know for the rest of their computer life. So just join the Swampies and forget all that useless knowledge. You can, you know.
Yup and if I don't start getting some answers to my questions. I'm gonna start a new thread for each and every one of them. So there.

By the way Swamp, what is your question again? Please enumerate them all (that means list them for us). Also, please provide a NonTechie document that lists all the features and shortcut keys for SSDS. By shortcut, I mean all the xxx rrr gf qqq kkk ss www
nonsenseprompt commands. It could look something like this:
rrr - stands for RandomRandomRanDom - allows you to play random video/music starting at a random position for a random length of time.
gf - stands for GirlFriend - I have never felt the touch of a woman
etc - EtCetera - Latin MumboJumbo to lord over those of vulgar tongue

@Xyro said:

Pretty standard Swampie behaviour this - make a random statement like "pure number search" and then later claim it was a question but never actually clarify what the actual question is. Same behaviour regarding his mythical showdowns. I guess we need to wait for the magic stones to achieve alignment or something before he will actually put his questions on the record in a coherent manner.@Xyro said:
Also, please provide a NonTechie document that lists all the features and shortcut keys for SSDS.
The answer will inevitably be either "Choose help at prompt #2" or "look at the source" neither are really that helpful as help.txt contains some commands, random entries from control.txt and has the neat feature of when displayed in SSDS renders the SSDS window fixed in place! Reading the source is not viable for an end user and even more horrific for anyone with experience as a programmer.

1/10th the $ to Stream video - Sharing video on the cheap
Sorry for neglecting my Swampies. I've been up late uploading more town council video. Then of course I needed an afternoon nap.
Question: How long do you think it will be before I'm banned at SteamingMedia.com If I start telling them of my way of doing it. For 1/10 the cost of "the professional" way of streaming council meetings. The 2 local communities are in the process of selecting a provider. One was quite resistant to me videoing the meeting. Because they had some dumb old Ordinance forbidding videoing such meetings. I got to video the first one and am awaiting their decision on the next meeting this comming monday. Should I go to the local news media first with these numbers or ask the town staff to consider my options for streaming?
Nobody shares council meeting knowledge more cheaply than Swamp search. Actually they don't even need SSDS unless they want to play the most recent video as a screen saver in the town office. Any old derelict pc would do.
P.S. At the meeting where they didn't want me to video. I told them I would let it be known. The mayor said don't threaten me. I said I wasn't and was just saying what I would do. One of the newspaper guys present said it would have made a much better story if they had given me the boot.

Don't know exactly what is on those video in slow motion. But others that I have played the video for see them too. The tobacco leaf one looks like a life form. and a very playful one at that. Don't be afraid to look.
Talking reshoots. Just this evening someone told me they had a 8track video of some kind that they wanted to transfer. I told them put it in their player and on the best screen possible. and I'll do a Screen Reshoot. It will be 85% as good. And they will have it saved at the least. In just a few short minutes. Do it for all your old home videos. Way simpler, Way cheaper, Way faster. And on video forums you will get Way more shit for it. But screw them. Reshoot till your drop. It's OK. No better way to share old video either. Nobody shares better than this. Right.

A big smudge moving across the screen from left to right at 62 seconds through 74. Without video editing software like Ulead or Nero you can get by with using SSDS to play that section super slow and get in close up with a camcorder (auto focus OFF) videoing in the big action segment.
There is a lot more activity there besides the smudge. Plenty more are seen when you do a reshoot at extreme close range. Try it you'll like it.
It doesn't quite seem to be updated yet. Whatever this is? If you find a hot spot for them; they are everywhere. Then there was the mushroom cloud formation that started me on the alien hunt. I showed the video to a lady in a coffee shop a "couple weeks later". She said I saw that cloud across the river from the golf course. YESTERDAY. The exact cloud in the same spot 2 weeks later. Now that is a hot spot. Even for the clueless.

Did I read this right? You seriously went to a coffee shop with your laptop, approached a random lady, and she actually watched your cloud video without running away or resorting to mace? What do they put in the water in your parts?
@SpectateSwamp said:

How in the world did she identify that cloud as the same cloud? Most clouds of the same type look the same. I would even say I've seen that "same cloud" last June, but of course, that would give you the false idea that I saw your cloud.

There are much better ways to do compression that involve real computing and removing the bits that the human eye can't detect. But I suppose you figure you can see those bits, and so can They.

Swamp search is pretty handy when you can add a few lines of text and see the same segment of video again and again. Be it Alien, the near invisible life forms. Or just a beautiful sunset or a ton of the most beautiful sunsets one after the other. It improves your view. I played the one of the hawk hitting the window back in super slow motion. and the bird checked me out pretty good when it flew away. Embarrassed I think.

Being able to activate an element display in the form border sure helps when testing. How can I make this vb5 available to others besides doing the builds myself? There must be some other half dead nearly crazed VB5 programmers out there?
Look for the 3 main prompts And look for when a new element / control was added to the control.txt file. You'll see all the places I needed to change and check to implement a "new feature". Settings like "rand" and "randa" get stored in the control.txt file as defaults. If I want to add a new element. I just check one of the previously added control elements. I can come back into this program after a long absence and jam it, no problem.
But if you don't want to look at the code then don't. That is good too. But do use SSDS and Jam it like I do and you will have more fun with your data, way more fun with your data.

I would imagine that is because search tools are kind of used for searching, archiving is another matter entirely Then again searching an archive is much easier when you do not need to index it by hand so SSDS loses as far as I am concerned.@SpectateSwamp said:

To run it through a Markov-chain text generator, of course! Behold! For I have created an artificial swampling! Frightening yet still that it is slightly more coherent that the true-to-life original! And now to answer Nyquist's question:
@Nyquist said:

Swamp is as straight forward as SSDS. All with the late 60's was good.
It's best to know why. I got it so fast. That is how I use it. Period.
Sorry not the results won't be around forever. If one could hug a program; SSDS would make your momma doesn't find out.
With the best screen possible. and I'll jam it.
First off it's not A utility with a particular artist. It will easily transfer to c or any bad word. Not when they banned me. I should list the culprit site names. Now. Some of the alphabet and for 'Y'esterday notes at the end of the details.
SSDS can see it easy to merge/append now my passwords in the odd dumb bunny.
Check out "show_files_yn" in source.txt to see my counts. I select mystuff.txt which is the same. Ie duplicates.
It took us 2 months scanning in family heirloom pictures. At the search as is. You would never catch up. and SpenkSwamp would drive them nuts.
Like I don't blow around a good search Videos for this other values right now.
http://www.youtube.com/user/SpectateSwamp#p/a/u/0/TpWwuDv8mB8
A big smudge moving across the river from the other searches give you bastardized version of the tobacco leaf one.
I didn't want to lord it over the years and seen a spaghetti artist before. I'll get around to doing a few test records for the correction I can't stand RRR. Because your player doesn't have any metadata. With SSDS it's just enter (look) enter. look at the same song with SSDS
Get off your butt and do nothing else. Question my max size results for the output file called directory.txt Then search that file twice. Come on somebody should be easy. Most of them were taken on Rememberance day.The late 60's was the mushroom cloud formation that started me on the old system. I did 2000+ screen captures of these WTF screens and adding some notes I'll be using it to dump to SSDS mpg catalog format for starters; I'll run the 'gf' option will show up. Hold your finger down on the best clip. Much better on my desktop / USB thingie.

Which makes me wonder if SpectateSwamp can pass the Turing test.
No.
No, I don't think so.
The only test that counts is the Swamp search test. It will leave the rest in the dust. Every bit of the information that I love and want to keep is at my fingertips. And my fingertips move. Somewhere in this post and the other biggies. Future Swampies will learn how to dumb down knowledge sharing for pleasure and enjoyment. Without random. You got boredom. Without Swamp search..... Oooh what a horrible thought.

Pfft, you don't even know what a turing test even is, do you?

You mean the showdown you always talk about but never actually start?

This poetic couple sentences make me smile... it's like something the Beatles would write after a session of Mary Jane if they were around these days.

I know it, when I am searching for anything and get what I expect, it's so friggen boring. I'd much rather get random results everytime I search. </sarcasm>

...and yet, everyone on this forum, nay, everyone in the world except for you and that antique dealer has been doing just fine without Swamp Search.
I have to say, the name fits, though... when I see you demonstrate your software, it's not much different than searching in a swamp... I imagine myself in a bog, looking through the murkey water, finding random shit... a tire, and old shoe, but never finding what I'm actually looking for until hours later, when, in a stroke of luck, I find it... only it's all soggy and stinky, then I find myself sinking and drown.
