    Looking at you, Goofy... 'share and learn' ;)

    That's hard (for me) to read.

    Can you tell that articles are being appended to the target
    file (which, along with grabbing multiple articles at once, is >>>>>>>> the main goal)?

    It will also hit one server and switch to another if needed.
    The file name is the date, so all MIDs collected on a certain
    day are in one file representing that date.

    Your YouTube presentation is poor. VERY poor. 😢

    Surely, with the super equipment you have, you could do better?

    Watched again. Not sure what he is trying to show... maybe that
    he has a right click method? Maybe that he is using the solution
    I shared? Not sure. He does not show it well... heck, not even
    sure if the window he pulls in was just off screen before.

    He does show pulling up multiple ones which is cool, though not
    something I would likely to be use often.

    But good to see he and Gremlin work on similar projects. And in
    case Carroll takes that as me belittling or whatever, I only got
    that far based on some of the stuff he posted before. Certainly
    not mocking either of them in either way.

    Has Carroll said how he did it? Been open? I hope so but doubt
    it. Gremlin did... and it was appreciated.

    Mr Carroll is piss-poor at getting over any particular point he
    wants to make. He does not explain anything.

    Then he blames those he targets. I ended up watching it multiple
    times and zooming in on my screen to figure out what the hell he
    was even trying to show. He showed it poorly.

    Indeed he DID show it poorly!

    He did... which is hardly a crime. His response to it though was
    weird... bizarrely focused on me, speaking FOR me and lying, etc.

    His video would have been better if it showed more context -- the
    full screen -- and was not tiny. It would also benefit from some
    explanation -- does that work in all apps? Where the windows he
    showed pre-generated or were they formed from his script (presumably
    the latter but his video does not show that).

    Also curious how often he uses the multi-MID feature and what value
    he gets from grouping them by date looked at. I personally do not see
    much value to that, though -- and I will emphasize this because it is
    likely he will see that as an insult -- IT DOES NOT MATTER. If it
    fits his needs or his thinking to have them grouped that way that is
    awesome. Happy he has it. I am just curious as to the value he sees.
    Maybe I could learn something.

    I have mine in a tmp folder which gets wiped. If I want to drag them
    out I can. They are named based on the MID. I can look to the
    creation date to see when I pulled them. That works for me (though
    realistically maybe I should save more). Mine also names the source.

    He did say his rolls over from one source to another. I have
    considered that with mine -- and it would not be that hard (famous
    last words). Happy he has it working. Given I now have three sources
    there may be value in it (though given how one is my provider and has
    my ID/PW I would have to sanitize it before I shared it).

    He and Gremlin now have solutions similar to mine... with some pros
    and cons. Awesome. I would love if they could mature and discuss it
    without it becoming a pissing contest. With Carroll I might even lift
    my auto-read *IF* he could have an adult discussion AND he could
    agree to stop pushing some of his more insane attacks.

    All noted. Thanks.

    Does it work for all apps or just where he was? Did he have the
    "off screen" windows already prepped? I think the implication is
    no... but why hide it?

    He is going to stretch this out to get as much attention as he can.

    I don't object to that if it is of help to him. He doesn't seem to
    have much of a life in the real world.

    True... and what I do know of his life is not pleasant. But of course
    there is a lot we do not know and I have no desire to dig into his
    life. I would never do as he has done and lie about legal issues,
    driving issues, personal issues, professional issues, etc. He and
    Gremlin have no decent moral code and find such behavior perfectly
    fine.

    I've never understood why folk aren't open and honest.

    He seems to think that at my age I need to be taught how to fish!
    He's wrong about that.

    He needs to learn to be moral.

    I won't disagree but we should HELP him to deal with things better.

    After 20+ years of him targeting me as his primary focus to attack
    and lie about, I still would not lift a finger to harm him but
    without some sign of growth on his part I am not really looking to
    significantly help him. Does not mean at all -- you can see in this
    post where I offer suggestions he could use to help himself.

    I saw that!

    Here's an example of how teaching on a video CAN be done to provide
    meaningful instruction. (chosen at random!)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk9nESQR_cY

    Perhaps Steve can try to emulate this next time he wishes to
    demonstrate something.

    Even just a silent, full screen showing of what he did with the video
    posted at normal video size so it can be more easily viewed. That
    would be no harder to do... and make more sense than presenting it as
    if it was on a phone.

    I suspect that he didn't even bother to watch the professional
    presentation and learn from it.


    What sane person would want to listen to fruity tootie faggot snit lisp
    his way through a presentation.
    It's no wonder why he and Joel are asshole buddies.
    Same for you backdoor David.
    Muhhhhahahahahahha!

    Seriously? Personal experience doesn't get you over the hump?

    LOL!

    What did he mean when he said "...what I do know of his life is not pleasant."?

    For just how long were you in prison?

    I do not know if he has been in prison, but I know some of his family
    drama -- or more specifically drama his family claims and I have no
    reason to do doubt. And it fits with what he shows online. But I
    have not been given permission to share and will not. It is POSSIBLE,
    I suppose, they have tested me and are seeing if I will share.

    How convenient of you snit. Claims you cannot prove.

    Like your Ryan Sullivan troll snit?
    A person who out of the depths of the Internet just happened to reach
    out to you spilling his guts about Steve Carroll and which just so
    happen to align with your 20 years of attacks on Steve Carroll.

    Exactly who do you think you are fooling?
    Nobody believes the garbage and lies you continue to post to USENET.
    Try showing actual evidence instead of shitting all over the Internet.
