That should be fun.

Honestly, as batshit crazy as you are, I'm glad you are still enjoying your life.  That's probably the most important thing in the world and nobody can take that away from you. 

 

Sure, it's great for him.  Too bad a large part of his "fun" is derived from spamming and intentionally baiting strangers on the Internet.  (Yes, I know I can ignore him...theoretically)  More seriously, like others have mentioned, Spectate no doubt has an extended family who have to deal with him on a regular basis.  Spectate himself admitted that his friends and family kept their distance when he painted his head yellow for the Yellowhead election.  I wonder if anyone here would be upset if their favourite uncle started acting like SpectateSwamp?  Personally, I would be devastated.

SpectateSwamp:

Seems everything that died around here got mummified.

 

And even a few things that didn't die.  (SSDS, Spectate's worldview, ...)

My Bird. What a beauty.

 

I've been told that WC above is in a nature and wildlife book. More famous than poor old SpectateSwamp

Back to quick keys. When swamp search is in text input mode. a "v" then enter does the same as a Ctrl/v and much simpler. You can still do the Ctrl/v if you were a masochist and knew nothing about speed. If the quick keys are handy and they use the system lots. They'll remember them.

How come that crow is in my back yard? Spookie birds these medicinie ones.

Why do you keep calling it WC ("White Crow") when experts have repeatedly told you it is a "Hooded Crow"?

SpectateSwamp:

if you were a masochist

Can't speak for anyone else, but as I'm still reading and responding to this thread, yes, I am obviously a masochist.

 Sigh.

 

 

SpectateSwamp:

Spookie birds these medicinie ones.

WTF, "medicine birds" now? I assume it's magical and can only be killed with a medicine stone. Perhaps you could even kill TWO medicine birds with one medicine stone...

Could be a Medicine Bird. Maybe the Aliens brought it here to distract Me. Or maybe.. what.

I thought you were leaving?  You never answered my question: Why should we care about stuff again?

Man... fuck... I'm high as shit right now too..  you think we could split an anchovy pizza??  Im not the biggest fan of fennel but the dough kicks ass!!! 

SpectateSwamp:

For my VB build I'll have SSDS run a control file of edits on the original Source.txt file.

That makes very little sense, why do you not just keep a vb5 project that contains the form and code and stuff? You could also do something radical likeuse some form of source code control to manage your revisions etc.

SpectateSwamp:

I'll make changes to the VB5.0 version. then process the VB.net edits and Jam the both of them. That should be fun.

You really have no idea how difficult a task this is. The vb5 version is so poor it will not even work in vb6! VB.Net finally removes the gosub and return construct from the language so the code stands no chance of compiling anyway.

It makes perfect sense if his entire worldview depends on using SSDS for everything, which it does.

 ... Yes pressing those 2 keys at opposite ends of the keyboard will be easier than using the *STANDARD* 2 keys that can be reached with 2 fingers on the same hand.... Thats right... Having read the rest of this thread im not surprised, infact this might be one of your more sane quotes... Still dumb though.

As for the bird... Why is it in your garden? Do you think it knows its in your garden? Maybe it just like the smell of the bull shit that you are constanty spouting.

When I left the British Columbia Building corp job. I had a pizza party. One of the attending chefs cooked up a magic mushroom pizza. Everybody was given a warning. Some ignored it.

When I got the boot at Weyerhaeuser I had a 3 Kegger and pizza party. The local Dominos sold me 60 Doughs for $2 apiece. I gave lots away. I told the invited to wear stripes and clean underwear. In case there was a raid. The police notified the landlord that I was having a pizza, beer and pot protest party. The best landlord in the world, had to come the next day to get his shoes.

We can joke about the older generations drugs: LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Pot. But not the stuff of today - Crystal Meth - This concotion is destroying Whitecourts' young.

You bet. Now that I'm in the taking advice mode. I'll read these suggestions carefully. I might have to make one or two minor changes to SSDS just so it does the edits the way I need them. If getting the VB.net version running, is too tuff. I'll try another language. or Operating System

I'm getting pretty proud of you Swampies. Keep it up.

Haha this retard thinks he is going to do a find and replace to switch from VB5 to VB.NET...

 

HAHAHAHA

Dear God, no.  Porting it to an altogether different language would be deleterious to one's mental health, but to attempt to port it to another OS would be insane.  Do you not understand that nobody else uses MCI?  Do you even actually understand what MCI is?

I was going to add another key for the right hand to do the Ctrl/v option but found it was already there. "h"

     Context_cnt = -1     'november 10 2000
 '17 December 2004   add in the V or H prompt for insert
     If UCase(ttt) = "V" Or UCase(ttt) = "H" Then
          If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFText) Then
              ttt = Clipboard.GetText(vbCFText)
          End If          '17 December 2004
     End If              '17 December 2004

This code is used at prompt #3 for the search string. Good thing we all got a copy of the source.txt handy. Add whatever quick keys you want to your version. It's easy.

So when can we expect the GTK+ Linux version, StorerSwamp?

Then one of the Swampies will just have to write a MCI replacement. Won't they.

I've had to do about 20 different find and replaces thus far, and that's after the IDE did the auto-upgrade.

Also, while on the topic, how should I handle this: The original SSDS code handled all errors in one labeled section (Errors_31000).  Since I broke out this and other label sections to separate subs, now all the other subs need error handling.  I initially had them just call Errors_31000, but that doesn't work because you can't resume from a sub higher on the stack than where the error originated.  Should I copy the entirety of Errors_31000 to the end of every procedure, or should I try to move only the parts of Error_31000 that apply to a given procedure?  Which is more in the spirit of a simple upgrade port?

SpectateSwamp:

Right.  So here's this wonderful program which is your life's work, which you won't stop talking about, and which claim will solve all problems in computing.  AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.  Nobody is going to use a program that even the author doesn't understand, fool!

Ever heard of a little something called "documentation"?

Yes, we know.  Stop reminding us already.

Good going BstorerSwamp. I would leave the original Errors_31000 intact and trap the few errors that will occur locally. I wouldn't worry about the MCIsendstring stuff to start with. Just the try and get the text search and display going. Then maybe pictures. I know it won't be easy. There have been enough changes to SSDS over the years. That a tiny change here or there breaks some other feature. Lots of testing required.
