Hi everybody!

 

During some little maintenance of rosapps I was doing during some work pause, I wanted to know from where we found our still unused (until someone programs the defragmentation API :P) defragger called “Fraginator”. Since it doesn’t contain any information about his initial author I tried to check into the SVN log, and I found that it was added in our codebase in 2006 by Ged: see the commit log http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos?view=revision&revision=21411 ; notice that the committer mentioned that “[Fraginator] is pretty hard to come by on the net now.” Nevertheless nothing is said about his author.

However (!!) googling at “fraginator defragger”, I fell on this webpage, certainly written by the actual Fraginator author: http://blog.getpaint.net/2012/03/28/college-adventures-in-open-source-fraginator-edition/ . In this blog entry you have the “story” of the Fraginator defragger! (if someone can add an entry, he/she’s welcome).

 

Nice reading!
