    I can quote 10 year old heated email discussions word for word.

    Big deal. You keep all your email in SSDS for "easy" recall.

    SpectateSwamp:
    What recall.

    You're not recalling anything, you're just using some cheat notes.

    SpectateSwamp:
    what a mind.

    Yours went to pot (literally) years ago. Or are you saying SSDS has a mind? You've solved the artificial intelligence problem? Why is it such a stupid mind that it can't blink and breathe at the same time without barfing all over itself?

    Oh, wait... I just figured out how you did it. You just used the Windows MCI (Mind Control Interface) to create your A.I. Probably something along the lines of "run brain iq 50" for a comment, right?

    SpectateSwamp:
    Geeks I feel sorry for having to deal with the technical mess

    Then stop dumping your crap all over forums. We wouldn't have to deal with your technical messes if you would only wear digital diapers and stay in your crib all day.

    So geeks have to be the cleanup crew, but the nerds get to go outside and play? Discrimination...

    SSDS's much-vaunted 'search' does in a couple thousand lines what one person demonstrated with a single grep.   One line vs thousands...sounds like one of you had more time to spend outside while the other was trying to debug tangled code.  

    Then let's not forget the countless hours you've wasted in trying to promote that masterpiece of crap over the last few years.   You could have spent those hours outside and playing, or -- horrors -- learning a modern programming language and some decent coding skills.

    The other day I was reading these letters to serial killers and I was struck by how familiar the Charles Manson one looked. He even repeats words and includes random pictures.

    SSDS - Alien Hunter

    Bright and shiny artifact. The most visible of all. (No slomo or Screen reshoot zooms needed here)

    The last 15 to 20 seconds is where the action happens. Right before I turn the camera off.

    http://www.archive.org/details/demo71_pict8

    I'm pretty sure this 2 minute clip was zoomed slightly into digital focus by mistake. I always have that feature turned off.

    You just get more Aliens if you have free time. SSDS frees time. Come on Swampies use some of that time pointing your camcorders to the clouds. Don't be scared of what you'll see. Ol Swampie has you covered with Stone power.

    Pretty sure you're seeing things, Spectate. As usual, there is nothing there. I'm more scared at the fact that you believe your own bullshit, especially that you're a shaman. I mean, WHAT THE HELL, DUDE. Magical stones? Were you dropped on your head as a kid?

    You are wrong HannahRochSwamp. The Shiny flyer is there. Clean your screen. It comes in from the right side of the screen 2/3rd's the way up the screen. Then it passes behind the cloud and out the other side. I hope it's your screen not your eyes.

    Don't worry swampies we will be able to collaborate aliens with SSDS for at least 10 more years. XP will be around for quite some time and VB5 runs just fine on that. Covering every OS from Windows 95 on up. You just need to find a copy of VB5. I have one. Lucky Me.

    More alien video uploading to the net right now. 175Mb That takes 5 1/2 hours. Good thing I don't have to do anything. I'm fitting in here at LazyForum. If I had found the Agreeables forum. What could I possibly learn. Lucky again. Anyway this latest video is of a bright and shiny that goes behind a cloud. My cloud guy from another forum will check it out more closely. CloudySwamp.

    When hunting aliens I would suggest a HD format and Mpg like mine for general shooting. Both would be best but I'm a video nut. I should get a small HD file just to test on SSDS.  

    Question: Do you think the Tobacco Leaf Flyer looked over my shoulder into the viewfinder? Are they watching you? Watch them back with SSDS. Or Is it just here in Alien Central that these flyers exist.

    Spectate, you keep talking about respecting your elders and learning from them.  Would your parents approve of this behaviour right here?  Trolling forums with ridiculous nonsense just to make people mad?  You know very well the effect your ramblings has on everyone else.  You understand clearly that you are making people angry - you said so yourself, many times.

    What kind of values did your elders teach you, anyway?

    So why not just post the last 15 to 20 seconds then? This is the reason people say editing video is better than posting hours and hours of shit to the internet to display a few seconds of interest. (Obviously you aren't even posting a few seconds of interest but the general concept is the same.)

    Obviously you have a lot to learn. VIDEO EDITING == VIDEO LYING.  Stop trying to distort nature by using VIDEO CENSORSHIP tools.

    The only acceptable way to edit video is to shoot short 2-minute segments, then let people decide which segment they want to watch.  The only other acceptable way to edit video is to play it on your laptop and re-shoot the screen with your camcorder.  Remember, it's not "video editing", it's "timeline playback".

    But seriously, I think the reason he does it this way is he knows it's fucking annoying.  Right, Spectate?

    Surely mpg would introduce compression artifacts and lower the quality. Wouldn't you really be better off with a format that doesn't have these problems...

    It's not easy being annoying. Sometimes I just don't have anything cruel to say. But look at your side of the argument. I wrote a search engine. none of you have but you argue. I have Medicine Stones (36 years) and spent 30 to 40 hours in 4 different libraries reading up about them. And you argue. I know of 3 DinoMummy sites and I brag and brag. And you mostly remain silent. I have video of Aliens or New LifeForms and you argue and diss the discovery. The WhiteCrow appearing in a Shawmans backyard would be considered a very important symbol. Do some research and come back with some more facts. (saves me time) find a copy of VB5 and you are good for 10 years of Jamming it (that'll make 20 years of SSDS). It's fun and simple. Soo simple.

    Yup I have some of you so mad that you remember everything I have said and throw it back at me . With a copy of VB5  and all that knowledge you would be ahead of my version of SSDS in no time. That's good enough reason to be annoying. I'll have to start using those smily faces symbols when I'm jee hawing. Keep being annoyed. Don't leave. You have come too far.

    Where is the proof of your medicine stones working? What is the symbolism regarding the "White Crow"? And your "Desktop Search" only works for you. Frankly that 36 years of your life may have been better spent learning to code properly. And knowing of "3 DinoMummy sites" doesn't mean squat.

    And considering that VB5 is pretty much obsolete and that people here have lives outside of the internet, good luck getting even ONE person to follow your advice.

    According to you, you have Medicine stones.  If I told you I had bigger medicine stones, would you believe me?  Also, it is pathetic that you only spent 40 hours (about 1 hour per year!) studying what you have described as the most powerful stones in the world.

    First of all, nobody here believes those are aliens.  Secondly, it's hard to tell whether you really believe that.  Personally, I think deep down inside you realize those are not aliens.
    SpectateSwamp:

    It's not even a "White Crow".   People have told you time and time again it is a HOODED CROW.

    EXACTLY.  From the very start, you have admitted that you purposely make people angry because you think it will persuade us to help you with SSDS.  I already explained this to you: WE ARE NOT ANIMALS ON THE TRAPLINE, OKAY?  You can't "rile us up" and expect us to "accidentally" help you with SSDS. 

    Serious question: has any family member or friend ever advised you to get mental help?  If so, you would do well to follow their advice.

    So much for your "what a memory" claim. Obviously you've managed to supress memories of all the examples of other peoples' engines (including mine) that have been mentioned in this and other posts.

    Remember, just saying something doesn't make it true. Like this: You're going to drop dead 10 seconds after you read this sentence.

    In your world, you're now dead. In mine, it's just a few meaningless words on a computer screen and you keep on living (unfortunately?).

    Well, about 39.99999999 of those hours were spent trying to install SSDS on one of the library computers, and building an index of the newspaper articles about him and his insane claims.

    0.000000005 hours were spent complaining to the librarians that SSDS didn't work and that he absolutely MUST be allowed to use a computer with a dvd drive in it so he can look through his search.txt. The remaining 0.000000005 hours were spent flying through the air and landing outside when security tossed him out on his hairy arse.

    I gave up on VB5 many years ago and moved onto VB6, which I have also left behind in favour of .Net, I have absolutely no reason to go back to VB5 and SSDS is definitely not going to convince me to go back.

    Nope, nobody cares enough. Including you - if you really cared you would have responded to the challenges put forth with something other than shitty videos of a monitor. You knew you couldn't win and didn't bother trying. You didn't even care enough about SSDS to bother posting a project to sourceforge so people could try and help. You certainly never bothered replying to any submitted bugs.
