Start your BitTorrent downloads remotely.

I found this on Lifehacker and just felt I had to share.

This is the use of the file syncing software Dropbox to sync torrent files from the machine you are on to a remote machine where you want to download the torrent.

This is all assuming you have Dropbox on both  computers  and you have a torrent downloading software which allows you to monitor a folder for active torrents (such as uTorrent and Transmission). You can also upload torrent files from the Dropbox web interface from a computer where you can’t install Dropbox.

Download your last.fm tracks to your pc.

I found this courtesy of downloadsquad.com.

The article talks about a sweet lil portable peice of software called ‘last.fm Music downloader‘ quite aptly.

Four Fifths

Almost done exams (4 of 5 done), hurray.  Monday can’t get here soon enough.  I still am in need of an ugly Christmas Sweater for a party, but Value Village is only a short bus ride away so I’m sure I’ll pull through with that.  But alas, it’s going to be a week and a half at home with the family and I’ll probably be stuck being bored with nothing to do except head outside with my camera and hope I don’t get caught in the 6th blizzard in 7 days or something.

Speaking of cameras, this week I’d like to throw out some links to a few photography websites that I haunt a million times a day (I’m a professional lurker).  They are all great learning resources for techniques and for socializing with other photog-types if you can be bothered to register and interact.
