Chating with Xel, my GF, CBA, and everyithing... ^_^
Talking to Hyper and his mom through microphone ^^
Currently doing R&D for my own purposes. I'm updating one of the systems I use for my internal maintenance and file management (the current one got too old, it's 50% MS-DOS 50% Win32, the new one is 100% Win32). In particular this is a system to give files a generated name according to their size and their contents. (Ever wondered why most of my hentai pics in channels have names like UW1F25A0.JPG?) This is useful for three or four reasons, but mostly to make sure I don't have the same file with different names. I use this for images (typically: hentai, porn, game images) I don't need to keep their names of, and I have lots of. The new system I designed is 388 times stronger and better for several reasons, twice as portable, twice as fast, and it works better with long file names. Design was the most difficult part, implementation will be a piece of cake as I'm reusing a C tool and writing the rest in Perl.
Yeah, Xel, and now I'm hearing the music Xel hears through his speaker, than microphone, than my speakers... LOL ^_^
Just finished mastering my latest composition, "Melody of wild beauty"; Hyper has already heard the original version, but since then, i decided to renovate it before uploading it to my Yahoo! briefcase.
Also, just recently finished mixing and mastering my friends guitar samples, and hoping to hand the finished product back to him soon.

Aren't ya scared Cav? Or you just didn't show us? I'd be damned scared... [img]confused.gif[/img]
Yeah, I heard that, it was great... but his Guitar playing is much cooler! ^^
Yesterday I finished the program I mentioned earlier. Now testing it.
Heh... It's fun to see how does the program I wrote in a rush in 1999 compare with the better designed one I wrote yesterday...
Renaming 8.55 MB in 193 files, all cached into RAM
Old system time: 3765 ms
New system time: 265 ms (14.2 times faster)
Also:
Old system was 31.4 bits in 8 byte names, making for 2.8 billion different files, new system is 40 bits in 8 byte names for 1 trillion files, and a much better file size hashing.
BTW, if anybody is interested on it for his/her own use on autonaming files, don't hesitate to ask.
Am... am me! ME! Here! Wooohoo! Over here! *raises hand*
BTW, what's this prog about?
It assigns each file a (quasi) unique name with letters and numbers. This is useful for big groups of files where the name is not important, and you want to avoid having duplicated files. Besides, files of similar sizes end up together when sorting by name (this is desirable). This is especially good for your pic directories. Say you have been collecting pics from a game, from different websites. You may not care for the file names, especially since they go like 00 01 02 03 or have long strings of numbers coming from these sites' databases. With this system you can avoid the following:
- Having the same file twice, with different names
- Having different files with the same names you have to rename (esp. lots of websites that name pics like 00 01 02 etc)
- Having ugly long file names
- Having conceptual art (usually larger files) and wallpapers (usually largest files) all mixed with regular screenshots (usually smaller files)
and since they end up semi sorted by size, with larger batches of files first, and most browsers show pics sorted by name, you'll tend to see the more spectacular pics first. Also, I tend to stamp my serial names into all the files I release in P2P networks and channels to keep track of them.
This may not be important for average users, but I have over 63000 pics in my hard disk (counting art, games, photos, hentai, and porn) and even more in burnt DVDs, and when you reach these magnitudes you have to invest some time in maintenance and control.
