Something that's very, very cool - Azureus SMS. Sends you an SMS when your torrents are done. It's ยค10 for 100 messages. I'm not sure that I'll use it, but it may be useful for some. 2006-08-08T16:46:23ZUntitled entry permalink

Finally got Azureus working on my Intel Mac. This version seems to be working. Why aren't Azureus distributing a working Intel Mac version on their homepage, I do not know. All I do know is that, compared to Transmission, my torrents are running much quicker (10x improvement). 2006-08-08T16:16:41ZUntitled entry permalink

Over on YouTube, JonDonnis has lots of great videos of (alleged) psychics and sceptical clips. 2006-08-08T08:25:46ZUntitled entry permalink

Ophelia: "Humans don't share one big brain, no matter how communitarian they are, and it's not possible to turn all those billions of brains into one big collective shared brain simply by dint of endless repetition of the word 'community.' And a good thing too." 2006-08-08T07:51:24ZUntitled entry permalink

Digg in OPML (preview) 2006-08-08T20:37:19ZPermalink

Yesterday, I coded up a new way of browsing digg using Grazr (or OPML browser of your choice - Grazr is good because of the slider view, though).

If you load up http://tools.opiumfield.com/digg/tommorris, you get an OPML file with all the RSS feeds of my digg activity, as well as include links to all my friend's OPML. Graze it.

Here are the known issues: performance degrades for users with more than 15 friends. You'll probably get some odd errors for users with more than 150 friends. Digg could easily remedy this by making an API for access to public user data - currently, I'm having to screen scrape digg to do it. I will also hopefully add caching, so it doesn't hit digg too badly.
