Start dowloading torrents remotely

Say you're at work and you stumble onto a torrent you'd like to watch tonite (some documentary or the latest episode from http://www.cbc.ca/nextprimeminister/blog/2008/03/download_canadas_next_great_pr.html).

Well, here's one way to do it...

1. Run uTorrent at home, 24/7, even if it's not downloading anything. Configure it to automatically load torrents from a folder say "torrentstodo". This is in Preferences/Directories at the bottom.

2. Install LiveMesh both at home and at work

3. map this folder as shared on both computers: right click and say "share with LiveMesh" at home and at work just right click the "LiveMesh Folders" in explorer.

Then, when you like a torrent, save it to the local "torrentstodo" folder at work. LiveMesh will transfer it at home automatically. Then uTorrent will pick it up and start downloading it.

Please don't steal copyrighted material when it's easily available (online) at a reasonable price :)

I'm a Code Manager

Product Manager, Project Manager, HR - i.e. People Manager, Technical Account Manager, Development Manager, Build Manager....and developers. Some develop and the rest manage stuff.

WRONG!

You know what? I want to be called by my new title: Code Manager. Everyone manages something and I manage code.

THERE!

I guess I missed the many architects, we can call them Code Benders - hey, I actually like that!

Happy coding!

P.S. I think I left out the Resource Manager - as in some companies, people are known as "resources". So in a project, the Project Mananger can choose 3 resources: a cofee machine, a printer and a developer. WRONG. I'm a Code Manager, not a resource, so please...

My Nokia 770

I love my Nokia 770 and it's much more useful than the iPod - I must say...Since I was bashing all device manufacturers other than Apple, I must exclude Nokia from the list...

Having the courage to come up with a Linux-based Internet tablet, when they did, puts them squarely in front of Apple...

The thing is that I use them both (iPod Touch and the 770) as remotes to control movie playing at home and the Nokia is better equiped to be the remote. It is a little bulkier and sluggish to reconnect the WiFi, but the web browsing experience is much better, for the simple pages my application requires (larger screen helps, but the ergonomics of full-page and persistent zoom are what make it the better one).

Fully customisable home screen and a host of applications out-of-the-box actually make it the winner...just to think that I've had it for a few years now and it cost half what the iPod did...why is this new iPod touch so backwards? Target market? Well, I guess simplicity does have its benefits...it is a portable music player first of all!
