I tried out Ray's Nucleus bittorrent aggregator. Awesome! Although it's far from anything a plain old user would want to use, since it's command line setup and execute only.
Now that it's on my machine and config'd, I'll never have to think about it again, just watch my favourite TV shows roll on in.
A nice additional feature Ray might add in future releases is a notification system, so you don't have to check the folder for new shows.
I'd also like to be able to add more bittorrent rss feeds to the aggregator. I have a whole list that Marcus is working on in his bittorrent aggregator.
Something intriguing about bittorrent is that most users appear to be using it for distributing carfully recorded tv shows with all commercials nuked. Personally I wouldn't mind if they left the ads in, but that's not the current culture of bt media files.
Developers, please note Ray's plea:
#TVTorrents RSS Feed and LegalTorrents.com both work with Nucleus.
Checking the link tag is a hack on my part, I wish more people would support
A referring link from this search engine has been bringing me traffic regarding penis sizes of world religous figures. Always worth a mention for review :)
We've been thinking about a US road trip for summer this year. Wading through the various googelized sources is harder than I thought. Most of what seem to be reputablecompanies for RV rentals and vacation planning have very poor websites. Our preferred route right now is the east coast, cruiseamerica has it plotted out in this image, but nothing linked to it.
I can't get KOA's trip planner to work properly, but their vacations by region has some reasonable detail of where to go and where to park.
JB points out that Lufthansa has wifi available on some flights and they add this nugget: "WLAN is far less powerful than mobile phones and has no effect either on the in-flight systems or on health - in fact, it is even approved for use in intensive medical care."
The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty by Kitty Kelley will have an initial print run of 500,000, and the main source is believed to be Sharon Bush, the ex-wife of Neil, President George W Bush's wayward brother.
Something else I wanted to mention about our trip back from Vegas. We didn't have time to share all of our pictures together and no one had blank cd's on the plane, so I decided to try out the 'Create Network..." feature on my Powerbook. Unbelievable! My 'windows' companions were able to mount my machine as if it was a server, wirelessly and at 10 Mb/sec. It got even better when I was trading out video and audio files via iChat with Katja who was 12 rows back through Rendevous networking. We didn't try it, but I'm confident our iSights' would've worked as well.
Ofcourse broadcasting a signal of any kind on a passenger airliner is illegal and potentially hazardous, so I don't recommend this, but it sure was fun! Naturally I kept an eye on the inflight moving maap system to verufy our navigational equipment was still steering us in an easternly direction. Being a base station wears on the battery, so the fun didn't last all that long. Just waiting for laptop power to become available on more flights :)
BTW, in lieu of my previous post, shouldn't airliners be aware that potentially dangerous terroists can easily create wireless networks aboard planes?
Lord Chesterfield: "Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked."
As I was sitting in my armchair watching this piece, my 14 year old daughter said "hey, that sounds like Velvet Revolver". She was even more surprised to learn that I have hung out with the band, when most of them were in Guns n' Roses back in the MTV days.
The music business may be dying, but it's old ways still work.
I'm back in the belgian countryside afer 8 days of broadcast fun and games in Las Vegas. Great trip, good fun and 5 happy freshly married couples.
Question, what's up with homeland security these days? I'm still forced to remove my belt and shoes, forfeit my nail file and gas lighter when attempting to board a plane, yet am happily provided with stainless steel cutlery on board the aircraft. Who's fooling who?
