For about a year now, I have been wanting to make a source code archive in order to facilitate code reuse, etc.

After taking an inventory of all of the code that I was going to put in an archive, I came up with 166,838 source code files… totaling 4.7GB. These figures are for code that I wrote between 1992 and 2006, and the numbers do not include special projects or five languages that I started with in the late 80s early 90s. So the actual figures could be closer to 500,000 and 5GB.

I have decided that all of this code will not make it to my code archive. In fact most of it will end up deleted or as code snippets from which a library will be built, for each language.

I have laid the ground work for the code archive, which will function much like my existing knowledge base. All I have left to do is sift through the mounds of source code… and being that I’m not one for data entry, this could take a very long time.
