Not a Tracker’s god: DH vs TV

margjakob — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:03:42 +0000

I’m a power user on both tracker (don’t have the same position actually, power user at tv still a low rank)

Content: DH = TV (scene)
Pack, Freeleech: DH > TV
Community, staff: DH = TV (I’m not active on both)
Ratio watch: DH < TV (tv got market and gold too)
Speed: DH = TV (top 5?)
Leeching: DH < TV (new files, many seedbox on tv)
Seeding: DH = TV (you can't beat seedbox, but seeding time on dh is longer)
What else?

∴ for poor guy like me (low bandwidth, low spec) TV > DH (except the pack)

Tracker’s god

margjakob — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:46:13 +0000

I wonder how site like filesharefreak, or many other private tracker’s watcher rank all those site. Another approach came from peekinside, rank based on user votes. But still, people ought to vote tracker they have account on. I like this tracker, I vote ten, hell with other tracker.

Is there any out there collector who have account on all those top tracker? A tracker’s god? Considerable approach, I think, is comparing two or more tracker, then those result is compared to another comparison (others can still object to the comparison). For example one says xx > yy, other says yy > zz, and basically xx > zz.

But anyhow, FTN still on top of the game. A stupefyingly tedious task to get there.

Storytlr Installation

margjakob — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:26:12 +0000

Storytlr is an open source lifestreaming and micro blogging platform. You can use it for a single user or it can act as a host for many people all from the same installation.

You can see review from Ars, installation procedure at project home wiki.

But, if you don’t have ssh access to your host like me, you can install Storytlr using this alternative way:

Download the package
Upload it to your host, unzip (via file manager)
Create database and username-password. This is important: If you use strong password, you might get blank page after installation
Import /protected/install/database.sql to database you’ve created before
Go to the /protected/install/config/ folder, and make a copy of the provided config sample file to config.ini, edit it, i.e. database name, username, password, host name
Now you can browse the site, login: admin and password: storytlr, if you still get blank page try to change permission 777 to folder temp/, upload/, logs/ and feeds/

You can see mine here: storytlr.margjakob.net

DynDNS, Linksys, MAMP

margjakob — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:18:02 +0000

For what? Host your own website, blog, email server, security systems etc.

DynDNS will provide Dynamic DNS Free (DDNS) that allows you to create a hostname that points to your home or office IP address, providing an easy-to-remember URL for quick access. Setup guide available from Saif Khan.

Linksys modem/router need to be set up, so the domain can be routed to your server. Pain in the Tech shows you how.

MAMP stands for Macintosh, Apache, MySQL and PHP, local server environment for Mac OS X. Stooryduster shows you how to setup wordpress in local server.

In MAMP Pro this local server can be accessed from the internet, with the service provided by DynDNS. Here’s screenshot for setting in my case, server and hosts setting.

And voilà, http://margjakob.ath.cx:8888 is ready for the world. (my movies and tv log)

My system: MacBook white 2.2 GHz, Snow Leopard 10.6.2, WordPress 2.9.1

How To Make Unicode Domain

margjakob — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:41:15 +0000

Yes. Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, and other characters are coming to Internet domain extensions thanks to a vote by ICANN. Previously, ICANN allowed the registration of domain names with non-Latin characters—so, for example, http://clintecker他的新自行车骨骼山羊.com—but the extension had to remain in Latin characters. Now, instead of being limited to the Latin alphabet, domain extensions will utilize some 100,000 new characters. http://clinteckergoatbonedbyhisnewbicycle.كوم could become a reality sometime in 2010. (Ars)

But Gruber’s url shortener ✪df.ws already made me curious long time ago. Here’s what I do at the time to make something like that:

Go to who.godaddy.com
Enter my Unicode character for example ♫♪.com
And I find this: Domain Name: XN–L6HB.COM
Now I make that as my subdomain: XN–L6HB.margjakob.net = ♫♪.margjakob.net

But then again, I found out that’s Punycode. iWantMyName have the converter. For now, I found it nice only for url shortener. I can’t type the character directly in address bar, not even with Snow Leopard symbol and text substitution.

Flash 10.1 and MySpace

margjakob — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:55:41 +0000

Didn’t work well (I try Safari and Chrome). Yeah… it still beta. But I really need flash that didn’t eat my cpu and need that MySpace music player too. I check out at least 5 band a day before I get 1 or 2 of them. So just click anywhere till the music plays!

[update 201109] If you can’t bear them, here’s how to revert to stable version.

So I Use Google Wave to Play Sudoko… Alone

margjakob — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:04:22 +0000

This afternoon I use Google Wave for the first time. It’s neat. ‘Waving’ with kcim from warez-bb for awhile. Then we don’t know what else to do there, so I started playing sudoku alone. My total score now is 61. I already sent invitation to my friend. Looks like no one get it yet (Google still licking the stamp :D).

So, is Google Wave worse than email? Worse than twitter? I think it’s a nice digital office. Cool playback feature. But not everyday use social media.

[update 161009] It’s supposed to be something like this:

Pulp Wave Fiction (you must watch Pulp Fiction so you understand). Nice!

One more important thing: with:public

Google Wave, Anyone?

margjakob — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:00:58 +0000

So, I just got access to Google Wave, and I got 8 invitation left. Whom I should talk to? Who want that? When I watched Google Wave Developer Preview at Google I/O 2009 I think it’s really cool, but now I don’t know what to do with it. My ID: marg.jakob [at] googlewave.com

Everyone who doesn’t have invitation yet, be patient. Google says: “Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.”

5 Best Websites You May Not Know

margjakob — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:06:25 +0000

Shea Hess explores five websites — including omgpop.com, yelp.com, fora.tv, popurls.com and boingboing.net — on Time 2009′s 50 Best list. (Here’s for best blog).

LOL at this: fora.tv, It’s place to turn to after spending hours watching cats videos on youtube and fill your brain with intellectual stimulation.

Popurls, really nice aggregator, I like this one. Boingboing, not a fan, too geek.

One more site worth mentioning for me, Photosynth.net. In simple terms, Photosynth allows you to take a bunch of photos of the same scene or object and automagically stitch them all together into one big interactive 3D viewing experience that you can share with anyone on the web.

gimmesound: Glass America – Redivivus

margjakob — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:47:53 +0000

Glass America began in 2008 with a vision of rejecting the formulaic structures and textures that typify much of Post-rock. Members John Mirisola, Micah Wilson, Michael Foye, and Jared Deame wanted to create an original sound that encapsulated the best of ambient, instrumental music without succumbing to its clichés or being limited by what has come to be expected. (MySpace)

Their debut album Redivivus, are out now.

In If I forget you, O Jerusalem, the shorter track that follows, Glass America celebrate that they might be 2009′s best newcomers with impressive guitar playing, ending in an awesome crescendo, so that the subsequent piano can sound even more fragile. But once these dreamy vocals reappear in the sixth song [A Voice From Behind, my fav track!], no piano can convey feelings more beautifully. (postrockcommunity)

And it’s free! Yay! You can download it at gimmesound, track by track.

Some info about gimmesound: It’s real simple. Artists upload their music. Fans download it for free (register needed). We pay artists for every download out of ad revenue, with a percentage going to a cause of your choice.

Great Abum!

Many New Interface – Everything Bigger

margjakob — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:13:21 +0000

I don’t know what’s the occasion, the only event I know is Apple ‘Rock and Roll‘ yesterday, which is releasing new series iPod generation, iTunes 9 (first screenshot below, great new store interface) and the return of Steve Jobs to the stage. Since yesterday there are changes in web interface of some big sites. And also they have same changes, everything bigger. Button and font in Google, header in Last.fm, font and box in Yahoo mail (don’t like it, reduce my reading area). Meanwhile Yahoo homepage already changes about a month ago. It’s better.

[update 120909] Picture below is Norah Jones at iTunes Store, she’s already featured in iTunes LP so you can dive into animated lyrics and liner notes, watch performance videos, view her photos, and enjoy other bonus materials. She performed at Apple Special Event, Rock and Roll (I just watch it), with two song Come Away With Me and new song Young Blood from her new album which will be released at November.
