Skunkworks List and available resources
Hi all, * As you may have noticed, we are on a new server. Migrating to the new box resulted in a loss of your settings (Digests/Plain text mails etc.). Please visit http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks to adjust your personal settings * We also do have an announce list for products/meeting announcements. You may want to subscribe through http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce. * my.co.ke hosts a bulletin board that you can visit at http://my.co.ke/phpbb/index.php . We intend to use it to complement the mailing list. * To find out about all the services available, my.co.ke index page has a simple listing * If you have any questions/request please reply to this thread. Regards, Laban
Did we also lose all our past talk:-( I notice http://lists.my.co.ke/pipermail/skunkworks/ only has the current month's archives. On 25th last month, I downloaded the following from the previous server archives:- 2008-March.txt.gz 2008-April.txt.gz 2008-June.txt.gz 2008-July.txt.gz 2008-August.txt.gz 2008-September.txt.gz 2008-October.txt.gz 2008-November.txt.gz 2008-December.txt.gz 2009-January.txt.gz 2009-February.txt.gz 2009-March.txt.gz 5 MB in total. If needed for institutional memory/restore and KeNIC does not have the full backups just let me know to send. regards, Alex On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 6:33 PM, Lmwangi <lmwangi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Alex, I think its time I did what I've been waiting for someone to do; load all the past conversations into a searchable database. I had started with the text file for march, I went through it looking for unique sequences which i could then use as "markers" separating one thread from another, then use the PHP *explode* function to load the individual threads into a MySQL table. My main motivation was to be able to search past entries. Has someone done something similar? On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 9:02 PM, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com>wrote:

@peter. I decided to take up and do what you had been trying to do. i have mailed alex gakuru the parsed monthly archives. Now some months were missing from the archives and all i had was up to March 2009. So there are about four archive files which still need to be parsed. To do this I developed a tool which has done this job very well. Am sending Alex the source code for the tool which can be compiled on any OS as long as it has a C++ compiler . Now all i developed was the tool and used it to parse all the files, i have also given the schema for the data file and the query to load it into a MYSQL database. So as far as code to make the data searchable i dont think i can squeez in time for that so maybe you or someone from this list can take it up and develop one for our sakes.

Wow! that's fantastic. If you send me the schema of the DB, I can whip up some PHP to search the DB. Maybe you could share the source code as well? Thanks. On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 2:44 PM, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:
