The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Posted on 08/04/2003 9:43:18 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

I was (and am) VERY in tune with my own physiologic state

We're an NFP couple too! I know what you mean about Docs not believing you when you tell them something about how your body works and they don't believe it. I want to say "whose body is it, bud?"

Fascinating! - Did you stop to read the posts, or were you just counting?

Seems like you could use even a Search and Replace in Word to count posts by poster if it were all one document. ( searching for "by Bear_in_Rosebear" would exclude posts "TO" you....

It would be nice to have a searchable version of the threads that we could do a word-search on.... So I would like to have them as Word Docs if that is what you did... Perhaps they would be emailable? - I know they will be big if you saved the pictures.

It is so hard to find stuff on the big threads now, only being able to search a page at a time for a keyword in a particular post we are looking for.

More like boredom and stubborness... but it amounts to the same thing. ;)

Cool...I at least made it into the top ten! I don't think I posted much on thread II. Was out a lot of that time. But maybe I'll land back in the top ten for III!

Actually I think I started in the Green Dragon and sort of migrated over here

Hmmm. I think I did the same thing.

Oh my goodness, we just finished watching this video! It was excellent! The boys just LOVED it! If you ever get a chance to watch it, do.

The first woman on there reminds me of me...

No, didn't read them all... although when I was downloading them I couldn't help but read some!

I used the search functions in a program called TextPad to pull out the "post" line that appears at the bottom of each message, and then again to crank those results to get the number of posts by each person. It worked well for getting the post line, but getting the numbers was more bothersome. I think I can write a little script to grab the poster's name from each post line and keep count of each name as it appears. Should only be a few lines of code...

I've been thinking of a database of posts that we could make searchable... would have to strip out the HTML code and recover the important stuff like the post number, who it was to, who it was from, and the body of the message. That's going to be further down the road, though...

The files themselves are plain-text HTML files... I just displayed 250 messages at a time and then did a "Save" from my browser window. My browser includes the option to "Save with Images", which is how I captured the pictures too. But, the pics are saved as separate files (.gif or .jpg, whatever they were.)

Impressive if you can crunch it down like that. I wouldn't know how to do any of that. I am good with a database, but this is in a form I am not sure how to handle.

I was just looking at the second HH thread and noticed that Ward Smythe started posting at #17. His posts need to count towards Corin's.

As if you didn't have enought to do. ;^)

Thanks for all this work you're doing Bear.

Too bad you couldn't get 'em in an Excel spreadsheet and use the @COUNT function.
