the power of BitTorrent unleashed

A couple months back I listed some things I liked about Internet.  Well, that has been refined as of now into what are my Top 5 Favorite Things about Internet.  For those who can't remember, they were (in descending order): RSS, BitTorrent, Gmail, and eBay/Amazon.com (tied).  Having RSS feeds sent to a RSS reader is basically like going to all your favorite websites and reading all the newly updates stuff, but all within one program which does all the searching for new material for you.  All you have to do is read it. Gmail is Google's invitation only beta test on email.  Email me and I'll send an invite to you.  In five minutes you'll never use your old email addy again.  Yes, it's that good.  Trust me.  If you haven't used eBay or Amazon to do your shopping you're old skool and probably don't understand and prolly don't want to. In fact, you're probably not reading this blog.  Most likely you don't even have an internet connection or a computer and you like to knit.  More power to you.  Knit away.  I'd like some wool socks for skiing, please.

 

But the point of this entry is to energize you for the next iteration of BitTorrent.  Currently, Suprnova.org reigns supreme as the preeminent site for torrent file tracking.  Well, it looks like they are gonna go into the P2P business and decentralize torrents.  Essentially, everyone will be their own tracker, their own mirror, their own multimedia guru, etc.  Go to Slashdot to read the article.  I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all comes out. Right now the prog is in beta testing, but when it comes out it'll blow everything away.  Napster will fade from our memory.  iTunes, be gone.  Think "Exeem".

back online at BJU

Yah, well I didn't speak too quickly.  I was on the black list at BJU for about 3 days.  I didn't see any dip in my hits count, so that signified a few things.  First, I don't have that many readers on BJU campus.  Second, people still love me.  Last, I'm wanted.  But now I'm back and can be accessed at any time, day or night, for the instant gratification of whatever insatiable desires a BJ student, faculty member, IT webfilter technician, or administration member has for my inane musings.

TSS on TechTV

hey again, i'm just watching my fav show, "the Screen Savers", and i was thinking what's gonna happen to my show now that G4 has come and screwed everything up. I mean hey, if G4 Media actually cared about their new audience of TechTV viewers and yet still cancelled Call For Help, among other things minimizing tech guru Leo Laporte to a 90 second blurb on TSS, what would stop them from eventually canceling another awesome show: TSS? I really hope that Call For Help 2.0, which will be starting soon on G4TechTV Canada, does super-awesomely well and the G4 execs will wise-up and start putting more tech shows on a games and TECH network.
