Twee Cheerz fur Unka Dan!
Meow kitties,
I hafta write dis cawze Unka Dan is a kinda humble hooman and woodn't pat hizownself on da bak, so I'll do it for him. Y'kno a few weeks ago I had menshuned dat he was goink to collect da ORIENT EGGSPRESS adventure and post it fur efurrykitty to reed. Well, he haz owtdone hizownself, and deserfs owr hearty appawz fur hiz wurk. He duzzent kno dat I'ze tellink efurrykitty whut he told me, but I finks dat he deserfs twee cheerz. Here's whut hez dun in hiz own wurdz: "I finally determined a couple of weeks ago that the idea of grabbing pages from Google Groups and parsing them was not practical. The basics work well enough, but with the bizarre ways they embed stuff in their pages it was just not reasonable to be able to accurately detect and remove all the Google-inserted crap. Looking at the duplicated messages and bizarre quoted text errors, I could easily spend a couple months writing special case handlers to account for the various ways Google has of screwing things up. Instead I signed up for accounts with Giganews and Supernews. They both claim close to 4 years retention for text-only groups. I now have all Usenet messages posted to RPCC since June 21, 2003 saved on my hard drive. I've got them all loaded into a database, and am about to finish the tool that will allow me to select messages that belong to the thread (automatically selecting all messages that are replies to the original message, as well as allowing me to review all messages and manually select any that the script misses). It will then be a simple matter to spit them out to an HTML page. The following still need to be done: * Finish the script that will allow review and selection of messages to include (2 days) * Review all messages for the appropriate time period (2 or 3 days) * Write a script to convert special characters to HTML entities (half a day) and to strip out quoted messages deeper than one level (another half day) * Process the selected messages into HTML output (a day)" Wow, Unka Dan, you iz sumfin' else!
