Compressing to and decompressing from zip archive

- Posted in Coding by

This is non-trivial, but at some point in the past I looked into compressing and decompressing programmatically using C#:

I've hosted the source code on GitHub demonstrating using .NET to compress a folder and its contents into a single .zip archive. It also demonstrates decompressing such an archive into its component directory, subdirectories, and files.

And here are a couple libraries you'll need to use: /r:System.IO.Compression.dll /r:System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll

Zip from the Windows command line

If a valid subdirectory is passed in as an argument on the command-line, will zip it to .zip file that is located in same directory as executing code:

If passed a valid subdirectory, this 60-line C# console program will zip it to .zip file that is located in same directory as executing code.

After church we ate lunch at Mamaw's: chili dogs, fifteen-bean soup with chips, and banana pudding. Then Susan went to see a patient and I watched the second episode of season 3 of Colony on Netflix.

I tweaked the zippem.cs source code, and the recompiled program seems to function better.

I got a little ways into episode 3 of season three of Colony before Susan got home from the women's Bible study. I watched it on my laptop because the Z4 android tablet needed charging. And right now Susan and I are watching Dark, a German science fiction thriller web television series co-created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. Set in the fictional town of Winden, Germany, Dark concerns the aftermath of a child's disappearance which exposes the secrets of, and hidden connections among, four estranged families as they slowly unravel a sinister time travel conspiracy which spans three generations. Throughout the series, Dark explores the existential implications of time and its effects upon human nature.

I've read a few pages this weekend in Walker's book, The Physics of Consciousness. I'm interested to see where he goes in the book. Thus far, my impression is that Walker is a complete atheist, but we'll see. I'm still very early in the book, and Walker has made it clear that he's a seeker of answers. Where is his lost loved one? Is there some part of her consciousness that survived past physical death?

Tomorrow in TR, I need to get someone to notarize those forms I already have filled out for our October trip/outing. I also need to follow up on Mindy, who took the initiative of starting an updated PCRP on S.D. I will try to come up with something meaningful and thought-provoking for the clients.
