I especially like how he starts a new blog for every post.

Just as a final point - when you create a sourceforge project and 'go open source' you really need to do other stuff such as post the application up for download, check code into the cvs repository so people can get access etc.

Spelling the name of his own project correctly might have also been a good place to start.

Also, I keep having to hold myself back from filing an "ENHANCEMENT REQUEST - Add desktop search functionality to Desktop Search" bug.

Good point, wonder how he will find it again if he doesn't know where to look to begin...

He could use his search to locate URLs: each time you access an interesting web-site, append the url to a text file. Then SSDS won't have any trouble finding it and it can be easily modified (if it already doesn't support that) to paste the matches to clipboard. There is nothing you can't do with it if you have the flow-charts.

Remember that SSDS can locate a keyword by the beginning and the end of the word. You can search for "spec/swamp" and it will find "specatateswamp" as well as "spectateswamp". 

By the way: how does your favourite desktop search application compare to SSDS in searching the Web!?

In other words, you are proud of the fact that you have found a group that will put up with your shit without banning you and/or closing your threads.

Us Grepplers have put up with quite a bit as well. Haven't told you to FO. Not once. You keep comming back. Because you all know in your hearts that the Grepplers have it and the Indexers don't. Indexers are not as much fun as us Grepplers. Grepplers can make your data dance. Indexers can't

To SpectateSwamp,
No one will ever be convinced! Stop this nonsense!

To all who have replied to this nonsense,

Thank [replace with leader of a religion to your choosing] this is 2008 and not some 100 years earlier and SS took the in obsessive interest in something he describes as Desktop Search. On top of that. He keeps referring to himself as the expert on that subject, no matter what everyone else is saying. What if it was the year 1900 or so and he was a self proclaimed medical expert? This idea alone boggles the mind and I'll leave it to the imagination of the reader to think of some horrible scenarios. Which might go like this:

Dr. Doug has the solution to an illness taking down the masses: the yellow fever. After some ten years of experimenting Dr. Doug, who now calls himself YellowHead, creates his own pedestal on the town square of many towns and start rambling about having a cure for the worst disease known to the masses. But lo and behold he has a solution which has extracted from his swamp near his residence, which he refers to as his shack. In this shack he has his own (Very Big) chemical set (version 5) and he's mixing up a deadly medication a some recipies of hundreds of years back.
What if some of the masses tried this medication?

I had a lot of fun reading all this 2000+ posts nonsense but it has to stop somewhere I think ... let's just all ignore him.

Finally I'd like to give you my interpretation of his definition on Desktop Search:
    "Searching some text in a file using a desktop application."

I think he's basically reinvented the filing system that I used when I was a teenager... keep everything in one big pile in the middle of the floor and then you always know where to look for anything straight away!

More Spectate Excitement comming your way. The latest video. With a screen ReShoot of a Cam Studio recording. (Never done before ever) Try this at home. Better than K-Tel Free. An auto catalog of all my mpg on c:\ and double random turned on. You gotta see this. Soon (45 minutes maybe)

Uh, hello? It is open source.  He is obviously waiting for some "nerd" here to do all that work for him.  The common man doesn't need to know about no CVS.

Sadly, although you are being sarcastic, that is probably a 100% accurate description of Swamp's workflow.

Because uploading his Cam Studio videos to Google Video unacceptably reduces the resolution/bit rate so that the text is impossible to read, and he thinks the only solution is to "re-shoot" the whole thing using his camcorder.

This is the same guy who posted his '93 Yellowhead election video by re-shooting the video that was already playing on a TV. 

When all you have is a camcorder, everything looks like a....Fuck, I don't even know how to finish that sentence.

(The funniest thing is that he is violently opposed to video editing using software, yet he will happily "reshoot" videos playing on his laptop screen.)

To further clarify, somebody here asked him: "Why on earth are you shooting your laptop screen with a camcorder, why not use a decent screen capture utility like CamStudio?" He did, and Google Video made the resulting caps unreadable, so once again he COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT, and started re-shooting his Cam Studio videos with his camcorder.

Yes, everyone enjoys their new toys! When you've got a new camcorder, you've got to video in everything you think of, no matter how pointless it is!

Hey, from the comments on Specatate's blog:

Now for a wishlist for the new year ...  A speed version?

So, the current version must be slow then.

No, no, no.  That is a speed version, not a speedy version.  You need a different version to use when you are high on speed.  Come on!

OK, I have changed my mind - I have figured out how to get rid of Specatate for good.

Everybody repeat after me:

Oh my God, I have seen the light - I now understand how perfect SSDS is.

Your job here is done - please go forth and spread to good word to someone else.
