BTQueue 0.1.3 489

It was about a month since BTQueue 0.1.2 released last month. I would like to introduce BTQueue 0.1.3 which is actually a minor bug fixes version with several features added. In this version "peer" command is back again. You can query the latest peer list replied by the tracker anytime you like. In addition, I added "eval" command that allows you to view or modify data in memory on the fly. This function will be very useful if you are Python programmers. Since I have just gotten a chance to use DHT, it is possible to force DHT by setting local policy; otherwise, DHT will be forced if the announce URL starts with udp://. The option --saveas has been fixed to work as except. One more thing, IP to Country database has been updated to include up-to-date mapping.

How to mostly prevent Firefox crashing by Flash

If your OS is Linux, especially Ubuntu, and your favorite browser is Firefox, you might notice some annoying bug that Firefox often crashes when opening pages with some kind of Flash.

New place for my personal opinions

After running this site long enough, I has found that the theme of this site is to share my short howto. Something that are repeatable. As a result, makes me recover what I really want and I don't have at howforge.com. I would like to blog and the blog may not be any kind of howto. Twitter serves me well but I would like to write longer than 140 characters. So, my personal site is at http://sugree.com/.

Anyway, this site will still be available and updated regularly when I do something new.
