  • Re: Minor fix to the source.txt

    [quote user="MasterPlanSoftware"] I could do that. What if we did it submission style like the quotes? That could be pretty cool. Swamptionary? [/quote] Sounds perfect -- it would keep the editing burden off you when Swamp comes up with a new word/term.

  • Re: Minor fix to the source.txt

    Perhaps on the site, we could have a page with terminology that Swamp uses, in a simular form to a dictionary -- I'll be willing to do a partial writeup In the meantime, "Jamming it" sounds like a synonom to " Shotgun Debugging " Radiation tag because this is like Chernobyl, something...

  • Re: Who pulled the plug on SSDS? Whooa? Whooa?

    [quote user="SpectateSwamp"] They had some lame excuse citing: "as it is not a web-based application and therefore does not meet our definition of a Mashup." In checking their goals for this MashUp: (QUOTE) We believe that NetSquared’s role as convener of social-benefit innovators...

  • Re: Swamp Search is good enough

    [quote user="SpectateSwamp"]I just knew I shouldn't have got involved with that SourceForge.net. It means having to administer this and reply to that. Being pushed to add a new feature. No thank you. It's good enough for me right now.[/quote] Let's paraphrase this shall we?... ...

  • Re: Libraries should change

    [quote user="SpectateSwamp"]Who's idea was it to lock down computers like that. Teach them to backup and reload the OS like I do. Computer resources and data should be shared. Not locked down. Swamp makes sharing data easy. [/quote] You seem to be "giving us lessons" so it's...

  • Re: Sphagetti Coding 101 - the Lost Art

    [quote user="SpectateSwamp"] You don't skim good Spaghetti Code. You follow a thread through. Activate a couple of the display lines and jam it. Use the context search to find where the cmd() elements are used. Another lesson is in store. Teaching you all "Sphagetti Coding 101 - the...

  • Just a common man, eh, Spectate?

    [quote user="SpectateSwamp"]I don't like Source Forge software. Just took another look at CVS this morning. That's not sharing. More like source hording. I'd sooner waste my time testing the changes and demoing other Swamp capabilities. And the source.txt is available anyway. That's...

  • Re: SSDS and be lazy

    SpectateSwamp, I've been holding back on saying this to you but: It's so-called programmers like you who think just because computers are fast that they have every right to use every single resource in sight that their program wants. Unless you're doing some graphics rendering or some complex...

  • Re: A time to be Inefficient - Grepplers are Inefficient by nature and quit mean

    SpectateSwamp, Since you aren't understanding the technological definition of "index": By definition, an "Index" on a computer is simular to a Table of Contents of a book. it is designed to lookup content quickly based on keywords that are descriptive to that document or a group...

  • Re: Google is worse than Copernic

    Okay, your antics are annoying, SpectateSwamp, I'm going to make this post short as I can: You claim your data format is "open" in fact it is NOT . It requires people to convert THEIR data to YOUR format before they can use YOUR Desktop Search application. Just because one can run a string...
