The popular lightweight bittorrent client “Transmission” is now Ubuntu’s default client and is replacing the GNOME Bittorrent client that Ubuntu has used up to now! This change will be in full effect when Ubuntu 8.04 comes out which is expected in April 2008.
Transmission is available for all machines and operating systems except Microsoft Windows. It’s very like Ubuntu as it focus’s on being lightweight but includes all the features you need!
As the Transmission team themselves say:
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free multi-platform BitTorrent client with a focus on being lightweight yet feature-filled.
If your running Mac OSX or any linux distribution it’s worth checking out and you can find it here!

Better than that, it doesn’t suck up resources! For those of you who are stuck for a Twitter client or maybe just want to check one out. Get Twhirl now. You won’t be dissapointed!

Often you want a functionality that you can’t get without hacking the Wordpress “Core”. In this situation you have a choice, don’t bother with the functionality or move on, or forever have to remember you have hacked the core when upgrading your installation! And with the Wordpress folks constantly rolling out upgrades you are required to edit each and every file you have edited after every upgrade! Therefore it is extremely important to document Wordpress “Core” Hacks. Not only does this mean you won’t forget any hacks you have made, but it makes upgrading a hell of a lot simpler! So for those of you out there who are thinking about hacking the “Core” go for it! Once you document everything really your grand!
I am very late on picking up that my Google PageRank is zero, but I figured I’d put a post up anyway!
I’d like to firstly thank all who made this possible,
Servage.net - For hosting my blog. Payperpost - For more than likely being the cause. Damien Mulley - Just because he need’s to be in here. A blog post isn’t a blog post unless you mention him! Ken McGuire - Ken started me blogging so I can freely blame him for all of this commotion, also if you don’t like one of my posts, he’s the guy to blame! Google - Of course the big bad in this situation, I won’t get slapped on the wrist for using Adsense but for using anything else its “Bad Sean“. Now there is some nice marketing for Adsense!
I have to admit I’m not upset at all! This gave me two good things. One; A blog post: I was pretty stuck for one this morning and Two; A reason to rant and I do love ranting!
I will continue to use adverts and I don’t see how this affects me at all, the good old page rank bar is no longer what it was, a status symbol amongst website’s to show how well your doing, now its just another “It’s there..” of having a blog.
Like, search engines are 15% [or so] of my traffic, or there about’s and I don’t get any decent searches from Google anyway, it’s all people searching for Natalia Tena who seem to be directed here! Proving the point that I didn’t make, search engines aren’t that good at all! My subscribers are who I really care about!
So once again thanks to everyone who made this possible and mainly Google!
Since last night I’ve been looking for some simple program to just track how much time I am spending on projects I downloaded quiet a few applications as I really wanted one that wasn’t web based but none of them came close to being as good as 88 miles! This website allows you to add company’s and projects in seconds, so your not wasting time on them and of course then it has a simple clock in clock off interface for each project. Needless to say these guys have got it right and aren’t making you waste any time doing this and that just so you can check how much time your wasting!
Definitely recommend it! Check it out at 88miles.net ..
Digg it!
