FW: Skunkworks List and available resources
@peter I forgot to add the query you will use to import the data, there is a slight difference from the mysql defaults. load data local infile '/path/to/datafile' into table `archives` fields escaped by '\\' terminated by ';' enclosed by '\'' lines terminated by '|^^|' (`from`, `date`, `timezone`, `subject`, `body`); @peter, Here is the SQL code you can use to create your table for this list then you can get the actual data files from Alex. This is just for storage purposes so there are no indices so you will have to create them as you like depending on how you plan to make the script. It also creates the table using InnoDB Engine so you might prefer to use MyISAM or any other you prefer. Now before I post the source code for the Parser, I want to make some few changes on the compilation optimization options coz with the wrong option even though it will still compile there is a bug in three inner loops (I havent bothered fixing) that could cause the loops to corrupt the heap when run at a very high optimized runtime state thereby crushing the progrm as it attempts to escape the string data. Maybe I should just sort out the bug once and for all to make it easier to use it fully optimized for speed and send it in a day or two. /*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */; /*!40101 SET SQL_MODE=''*/; /*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 */; /*!40101 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO' */; CREATE TABLE `archives` ( `from` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `date` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `timezone` varchar(5) NOT NULL default '', `subject` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `body` longtext NOT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; /*!40101 SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE */; /*!40014 SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS */; Steve Obbayi, ________________________________ From: Peter Karunyu [mailto:pkarunyu@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 3:08 PM To: steve@sobbayi.com; Skunkworks forum Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Skunkworks List and available resources Wow! that's fantastic.

Hi skunkers I've got a problem with my comp, my c drive has run out of space I need to install Partition margic so that i can increase size of C but I cannot because there is no enough space for this instalation. Some of the S/Ws cannot be uninstalled reasons low disk space for the processes. The only way out is to format the C drive to create space but I have a software installed on the machine that I dont want to loose. Is there anyway I can make its backup since I lost its installation disk and to get another is going to cost me alot thanks alot

aaahhh......had the same problem some time back...its very easy.... take a screw driver remove the computer casing. then identify the harddisk. remove it make sure u protect it from static then get a glass of beer and drop the harddisk inside the glass let it soak for a few hours then dry it off using a hair drier then fix back the hard disk. u will notice that the capacity of the disk will hv doubled. salut! 2009/5/28 Georg <cheez.mode@gmail.com>

Hi Liwindi: " I need to install Partition margic so that i can increase size of C " Unless u r up to some magic, it appears that you want to INCREASE THE SIZE OF C by hiving off some space from a different partition. Why not simply install PM on this partition? AFAIK, when poor Pluto was still a planet, space could not be created nor destroyed, or has this maxim changed?
Hi Tony Now you are talking Ive tried installing PMagic in D: PM instalation processes are refusing to continue due to lack of space in C even though D has more than 50 GB free space Tony Likhanga wrote:

Hahahahah, That solution by Geeh (no wonder the name) should work just fine! But in case it does not n u dont have any other harddisk, just know that unistalling is the process of deleting program files from the said C drive!!

Hi skunkers I've got a problem with my comp, my c drive has run out of space I need to install Partition margic so that i can increase size of C but I cannot because there is no enough space for this instalation. Some of the S/Ws cannot be uninstalled reasons low disk space for the processes.
The only way out is to format the C drive to create space but I have a software installed on the machine that I dont want to loose. Is there anyway I can make its backup since I lost its installation disk and to get another is going to cost me alot

alternatively delete one of the large programs without Uninstalling it. It will create space to work around. As for partition magic, most people who use it end up formatting their computers due to errors they create while using partition magic. So use it carefully. CLONING is the best option so far.

Liwindi, all suggestions provided are actual solutions - though not necessarily solutions to your problem (vodka?!). Anyway, there are ways to save space temporarily: 1. Delete files in temp (explained above) 2. Delete some files from System Volume Information folder - its a system folder so be careful with it. 3. U can delete service pack installation files and windows update files from C:\windows. Microsoft angels will tell u 2 and 3 are not advisable so google for caveats. Now that u have space in d, u can simply cut (yes, cut) files from program files foldes to a folder in d, then restore them after extending C. A safer way would be to copy them to D first and only delete from program files after the copy is successful. In my opinion, you dont have to format C On 5/28/09, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

alternatively delete one of the large programs without Uninstalling it. It will create space to work around. As for partition magic, most people who use it end up formatting their computers due to errors they create while using partition magic. So use it carefully. CLONING is the best option so far.

Hi Simon This sounds promising, how do I get this copy "Hiren's boot CD" so that I go a head
thanks

Liwindi, Clean your temp folders. If you have Hiren's Boot CD, you can resize your partition like I recently did without uninstalling anything. I use Acronis Disk Director Suite on the disk. I find it easy to use.
HTH,

Hi skunkers I've got a problem with my comp, my c drive has run out of space I need to install Partition margic so that i can increase size of C but I cannot because there is no enough space for this instalation. Some of the S/Ws cannot be uninstalled reasons low disk space for the processes.
The only way out is to format the C drive to create space but I have a software installed on the machine that I dont want to loose. Is there anyway I can make its backup since I lost its installation disk and to get another is going to cost me alot

@peter, Here is the SQL code you can use to create your table for this list then you can get the actual data files from Alex. This is just for storage purposes so there are no indices so you will have to create them as you like depending on how you plan to make the script. It also creates the table using InnoDB Engine so you might prefer to use MyISAM or any other you prefer.
Now before I post the source code for the Parser, I want to make some few changes on the compilation optimization options coz with the wrong option even though it will still compile there is a bug in three inner loops (I havent bothered fixing) that could cause the loops to corrupt the heap when run at a very high optimized runtime state thereby crushing the progrm as it attempts to escape the string data.
Maybe I should just sort out the bug once and for all to make it easier to use it fully optimized for speed and send it in a day or two.

Access to a variety of advanced applications is widespread, with individuals and groups able to engage in free expression of views via e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, and blogs.
