    NetSquared how many projects did you pull?

    At Swamp Shack I could show you the #2 and #3 programs of all time. By Me. Simple and powerful. What any new programmer needs. Will work in any language. Used during 15 years of Telco and cablesystem billing conversions. Then maybe #4 my automation of the Rural gas co-op mapping system. Way ahead of its time. And the lessons learned are easily transferable. The cattle system for the largest feedlot in Western Canada had some high points. Still lots to show and share. Who shares their video, pictures bla bla bla better than Spectate Swamp. Nobody. Some of you just share your opinions and nothing else. Because you don't have this great collaboration tool. Can't do video like me and my swampies do. Can't explore with video. And NetSquared pulls this project. I would have made them lonely at their so called contest. Everybody would be at SwampShack booth.

    Stop replying to him... Damnit stop! This is desk search part 2!

    Ever try convincing a 3 year old who keeps asking "why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why"?

    You can't, you just leave it at "you want to jump off the third floor? go ahead, i promise i won't stop you!"

    Ya'll are suckers for being sucked in by SS's stupidity/ignorance (or maybe even brilliance [for the ability to suck you all in]) so yea... STOP. Done!

     

     

     

    Ok please continue!

    I thought this has long since stopped being about SS and has become more like a comedic art experiment. But you're right though, this thread needs more Desktop Search and less Paranormal Weirdness. This is, after all, an IT forum.

    SpectateSwamp:
    I'm taking the alien videos to a more "educated" forum beyondtopsecret.com/forum/ I might even get some help videoing these things?

    First he mangles user names, now he even mangles URLs. At least it wasn't abovetopswamp.com.

    Oh well:

    Badge01 @ abovetopsecret.com:

    I looked at your video on youtube, but I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to show. The dots seem to be insects.

    Are you talking about your camera picking up artifacts, or what?

    No, no, no, no, SpectateSwamp! This will not do! As a budding Ufologist, you're supposed to find a crowd that automatically accepts whatever shady conclusions you're drawing from the footage, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. If you walk in a certified "alternative theory" forum and even then someone immediately (cluefully enough) calls bullshit, you're obviously doing it wrong!

    And that was a year ago, and you haven't improved a bit! Seriously, work on your grammar, learn a bit of pseudo-educated-sounding gibberish, learn how to write a bit more dramatically, watch Loose Change four times for good inspiration - then present the world your irrefutable proof and explanation of unexplained phenomena and the positive identification of the UFOs! (Er, wait.)

Better yet, also {{inappropriate tone}}. Ah, to hell with it, just slap {{cleanup-rewrite}} there. Or better yet, {{db-spam}}.

    SpectateSwamp, here's what you should do:

    a) give up your ambition of desktop searching - it's just no good

    b) focus on UFO searching - you have some potential there.

    Now, if your program would automatically analyse random videos, draw red circles around potential UFOs and wake you up with a loud beeping noise, then we'd have something to talk about.

    SpectateSwamp:
    And NetSquared pulls this project. I would have made them lonely at their so called contest. Everybody would be at SwampShack booth.

    Let's summarize, shall we?

    • Netsquared rejects your project: it's a conspiracy
    • Forums lock your threads and ban you:  it's because of "plants"
    • You lose the election: also because of "plants"
    • You get fired: your boss is a jerk
    • Nobody is interested in your UFO videos : we're all closeminded
    • Nobody cares about your stones: we're all ignorant
    • Nobody wants to use SSDS: we're all ClueLess

    Spectate, doesn't it seem odd to you that ALL YOUR FAILURES ARE SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT?  I mean, your only "success" stories are either mundane (getting a job in IT, running as the joke candidate in an election) or completely unverifiable ("making it rain during the '86 Expo", "causing a downturn in the stock market", "cursing your former employer").  A normal person would look at those failures and draw different conclusions.  If I were in your shoes (:shiver:), I might view those failures completely differently:

    • Netsquared rejects my project: I guess it wasn't good enough, or it didn't fit the contest criteria
    • Forums lock my threads and ban me: I guess I was too annoying and off-topic
    • I lose the election: I guess I was the wrong man for the job
    • I get fired: I guess I took off too much time travelling abroad to curse the United Nations in an attempt to force the legalization of marijuana
    • Nobody is interested in my "UFO videos": I guess videos of bugs and leaves are lame.
    • Nobody cares about my stones: I guess stones with holes in them aren't so mysterious after all
    • Nobody wants to use my lame "search application": I guess it just isn't useful to anyone but me.

    You've shown us plenty of articles and videos which make you look like an idiot, failure, or lunatic.  I really have to wonder why you are proud of those moments?  If I were you, I would've burned all copies of those articles (like the one which suggested you have rocks in your head) and I would've deleted most of your videos (like the Spectate Spruce Hen video).  

    Can you show us one article which reads: "Doug Pederson had a great accomplishment which made his family, friends and neighbours proud".  Can you show us one video where a friend or family member says: "Boy, that SSDS sure came in handy that one time I needed to find a word at the end of a 2 GB text file!"  Can you show us a video of your "top dino/alien hunter" buddies, where they vouch for your credentials? 

     

    SpectateSwamp:
    Who shares their video, pictures bla bla bla better than Spectate Swamp. Nobody.

    You use archive.org, youtube.com and google.com to share your videos and pictures with us.  Did you create those websites, or were they create by multimillion-dollar organizations with no connection to you or SSDS?

    WTF are you on about now? Is any of that supposed to either make sense or be believable?

     

    SpectateSwamp:
    Still lots to show and share. Who shares their video, pictures bla bla bla better than Spectate Swamp. Nobody. Some of you just share your opinions and nothing else.

    Have you thought we may choose to share them in a more appropriate place? I have photos on flickr for example - they are not relevant to this forum so I choose to not post them here.

    SpectateSwamp:
    Because you don't have this great collaboration tool.

    So you are now claiming SSDS is a collaboration tool? I thought it was just a poor file search tool. What on earth makes it a collaboration tool?

    SpectateSwamp:
    Can't do video like me and my swampies do.
    There are no swampies, stop pretending there are. I doubt anyone wants to do video like you i.e. drawn out and without purpose and consisting of clouds and delusions.

    SpectateSwamp:
    Can't explore with video.
    THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE YOU RETARD.

    SpectateSwamp:
    And NetSquared pulls this project.
    THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE YOU RETARD. That is also very poor grammar, please try to follow basic rules of punctuation and sentance structure.

    Let me guess - programs #2 and #3 (of all time) are: Spectate Swamp Accounts Payable Manager and Spectate Swamp Relational Database Server.   I'm guessing that each consists of a large text file containing company data, as well as a renamed copy of SSDS.exe.  Right?

    Why don't you show us a video of one of your former bosses, telling us what a wonderful employee you were?   It is so sad that your revolutionary, industry-changing work in the field of data processing data data processing will die with you.   No wonder you are so desperate to convert us into your Swampies.  You should've had kids instead.  (Or...perhaps not.)

    WTF, the URL's wrong! Wouldn't it have been simpler to look it up in SSDS and paste it in?

    From that thread:

    superdudedude:
    Uhm... are you really using a camcorder to record a video playing on your television? Shouldn't you just directly turn the video into an MPG or AVI file and upload that for us to review? If there are potential unidentified objects in your videos, your current video's are just introducing more interfering artifacts, making it impossible to verify what you are looking at.

    If you start with your raw video footage and import it into Adobe Premier or other such Video editor at full quality you can easily zoom in to areas of the scene that interest you and determine if there are objects of interest, versus blobs on the screen that cannot be verified as anything, except possibly bugs/leaves/floating tree debris.

    So it begins all over again...

    You Poor SOB.  SuperSwampSwamp is clearly a Video Editing.  Forum Plant.  Who Controls The Forums?  Whooa Whooa?  The video editing Advertisers and Sponsors?  Next The Forum Pets will be CryIng. Lock The Thread.  Lock The Thread.

    Those dum BasTards must Of Missed Spectate's Post on Not Editing:

    http://forum.videohelp.com/topic291143-60.html 

    Now to drive the Resolutionists completely Mad Mad Mad.
    Use your camcorder to capture other video format playbacks,
    computer demonstrations or TV programs.
    It's a great temporary fix for transformations, synchronicity and
    those other nasty editing problems, that seem to arise all the time. 

     

     (You heard it here first.  Using your camcorder to record a movie playing on your TV solves problems, rather than causing them.  After all, how else can Swampy zoom into the onscreen action without using his camcorder's zoom function? *facepalm*)
