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.)

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? 

SpectateSwamp:

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.

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.

SpectateSwamp:

Can't explore with video.

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.)

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...

those other nasty editing problems, that seem to arise all the time.

Maybe you've answered this at some point and I missed it, but I'm actually curious about your background.  What programming languages do you know, and what languages did you use?  Were you always working in different dialects of BASIC, or do you have, like, a C background or something?  I want to believe you know LISP, for some reason.

More videoing hints: Use the camcorder like a flashlight when walking in the bush. It frees you up to watch for tripping hazards and any other possible video targets. When videoing baseball. Use the camcorder like you would point your finger. It's very easy to beat the pitch to home plate that way. You could never do that by looking in the view finder. I set the focus to tightly capture the pitcher and I start shooting. Damn you are getting most of my vast video knowledge without coming to Swamp Shack. Leaches. Knowledge sucking &*(^%

Just because every single video forum you have been on has either locked your threads or banned you (or both) doesn't mean we want to hear your pathetic videoing tips. Laughing at your poor IT skills and knowledge (and indirectly your poor communication and grammar skills) is at least reasonably on topic for these forums, if you wish to be laughed at for your video skill then take them to a more appropriate forum - spread the misery and all that.

spenk:

No it doesn't. Filming a tv screen / monitor is a moronic idea at best. You get scan lines showing, the camera wobles and loses focus (or yu do anyway). Software exists that can zoom in on a video - you are an idiot for not using it.

SpectateSwamp:

That's what you get when you don't edit. You get reality.

I'm pretty sure you don't get reality at all.

SpectateSwamp:

The people in Yappy and Lazy forum don't capture anything worth showing. Not like SpectateSwamp.

Have you considered the possibility that people here aren't showing videos or pictures of rocks because this isn't a forum for displaying videos and pictures of rocks? The clue is in the logo really i.e. "curious perversions in information technology" - why do you seem to think this means you getto spout your own inane drivel on whatever random topic drifts through your drug addled mind?

Is that like saying you can earn a lot of money by walking around and picking up all the pennies you see? I'd rather hold down a steady job and earn $50 instead of wandering all day and "earn" up $0.01.

You don't get "good" video by shooting lots. You get lots of bad video, of which a small little portion will be accidentally "good". But again, that's like saying a steaming pile of shit is good because a flower started growing out of the pile.

You get good video by learning how to properly frame, track, pan, scan, zoom, etc... And by learning what's interesting to shoot and what's not. And most definitely by learning how to use a video editor so you can cut out the steaming shit piles and leaving only the flowers.

Why do you persist in uploading 2+ minute videos and say "the intersting part is at 50.03 - 51.97"? You complain about how long it takes to upload, so why don't you learn to use those "stupid" video editors and cut out the bits of video that aren't useful? Uploading 2 minutes of bad video, or uploading 2 seconds of good stuff. Which is better? Obviously it's the 2+minute vide.

SpectateSwamp:

That's what you get when you don't edit. You get reality.

Indeed. We get the reality that you are utterly incompetent in everything you do. It's amazing you retain enough intelligence to keep breathing and blinking.

Someone here observed that Swampy's proficiency at grammar  seems to fluctuate post-by-post, which gave him the impression Swampy was, in fact, several people.  Personally, I think he's one guy (multiple personalities don't count), but he likes to use bad spelling and grammar to piss people off (classic troll behaviour).   I think he realizes how annoying it is when he uses periods instead of commas, inserts commas where none are called for, and capitalizes the beginning of every syllable.  On the other hand, his habit of repeating words 3 times for emphasis seems to be a tick he picked up from real life ("Yellowhead Yellowhead Yellowhead".)

Boy are you nieve. Posts get taken down all the time. eg (NeoWin) For many reasons. Most of my really good posts are gone. I went 1 step too far for somebody somewhere. Don't know what it was. Anyway it's a great way to test the boundaries for freedom on the net. They are there. Everybody is an editor when they hear and see things they don't like. Spectate Swamp makes it easy to push those boundaries by collaborating and sharing that information. When you get banned you know you are on track. My abovetopsecret posts are picking up. Maybe that's more my kinda group.

He's totally naive.  It's obvious you were just paraphrasing.  I'm sure those posts actually exist, unless somebody has taken them down.  It's so easy to delete things when you run a website.  Good thing I burn a copy of everything to DVD.  That way I know I'll always have it.

But let's get back to my previous questions that you didn't answer: "Maybe you've answered this at some point and I missed it, but I'm actually curious about your background.  What programming languages do you know, and what languages did you use?  Were you always working in different dialects of BASIC, or do you have, like, a C background or something?"

SpectateSwamp, is that you?  Just kidding.  I save interesting stuff from the web, especially news articles, since most news sites want to charge for articles more than a few weeks or months old.  However, I do not copy and paste everything into a gigantic text file.  Guess I'm just stubborn and ClueLess.
