Turing Uncomplete

I’ve been googling about the ~/.rtorrent.rc file, and have come up with a series of entries that everyone should have, I’ll list them below, and justfy why I consider them so important; then you can make your own mind up as to whether to include them or not, or whether to use their equivalents in [...]

Last night, I had to scramble for my portable harddrive to salvage what I could from my old laptop. The harddrive was making some absolutely horrible grinding and scraping noises, I’d never heard anything like it! I copied a bit of music I had downloaded, some wallpapers, and a couple of scripts. They are all [...]

I have been a big fan of Deluge since I first tried it. It was faster than the other clients I had tried, and often managed to connect to more peers. I was even more happy with the 0.6 version, it worked better than the previous version and had a nicer interface. I thought I [...]

Today, I switched back to Xmonad from Openbox. I did this for a few reasons, which I’ll explain below, however I would not recommend you make the change unless you’re really willing to learn - because chances are a tiling window manager is unlike anything you’ve used before, and that puts off quite a lot [...]

I tried to challange myself by removing a load of buttons in Opera and forced myself to learn the keyboard shortcuts but I [...]

Well, every blog worth its salt has a list of some sort, so I sat down and thought up a list for mine! 9 Reasons why Linux is for the average user. The reasons aren’t in any order, just the order that I thought of them, so don’t think that I place particular importance on [...]

It’s amazing how often this is the case! Most people would assume that unstable software is a Bad Thing, unless you’re willing to put up with lots of crashes and, well, general instability. However, I have found unstable software to be perfectly stable most of the time, and the new features a development version of [...]

I have always wanted to say that! Well, since i first read it somewhere. I can’t remember where, I think it was ESR’s website. And now I can say it! Yay! Anyway, I digress…
GPG (GnuPG) is an implementation of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), which brings strong public/private key cryptography to the open-source world. With GPG [...]

A good program is a combination of many factors, and I consider all of these when looking at a new one. I already have all of the programs I need, so for me to install another program instead of the current one, there needs to be a clear advantage in one or more of these [...]
