LegalTorrents - Your source for legal BitTorrent files

This is a collection of legally downloadable, freely distributable files, both net.label electronic MP3s and other media items, which we have made available via BitTorrent - we (concept/updates - simon c., code - reed, bandwidth - b/tommy, logo - tony kinglux) are also hosting a ‘guaranteed’ high speed seed for them. Everyone that grabs the BitTorrent client and downloads helps contribute more bandwidth, because BitTorrent utilizes your unused upload bandwidth. Please note that all of the current torrents are made available under a Creative Commons license with the full permission of the rights holder.

Grabbing a couple of .torrents from this site. Legal, eh? Heh.

Paj’s Home: Cryptography: JavaScript MD5

The MD4, MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms are secure hash functions. They take a string input, and produce a fixed size number - 128 bits for MD4 and MD5; 160 bits for SHA-1. This number is a hash of the input - a small change in the input results in a substantial change in the output. The functions are thought to be secure, in the sense that it would require an enormous amount of computing power to find a string which hashes to a chosen value. In others words, there’s no way to decrypt a secure hash. The uses of secure hashes include digital signatures and challenge hash authentication.

Nothing like a little Javascript MD5 hashing, eh?

So, this is my new best friend [at least in the 'laptop trackpad can now do vertical scrolling department']. This application does exactly what it promises - adds the ability to vertically scroll in a window by sliding your finger up along the left or right edge of the trackpad (just like it works on my Sony VAIO laptop). It’s _really_ nice when you don’t have a mouse plugged in. 5 stars.

Welcome to the Trac Project.

Welcome to the Trac open source project.

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission; to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team’s established development process and policies.

It provides an interface to Subversion, an integrated Wiki and convenient report facilities.

Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, to create links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. A timeline shows all project events in order, making getting an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy.

So, I konw a few things, but this is a shell command that I’ve wanted to figure out for a long time. Basically, it searches through the current and all subdirectories looking for any files named Ico* (Icon, Icon?…) which sometimes I’ve found get uploaded when using Mac (I believe they’re the Icon resource pointers, but are in fact empty files…) Working on getting SVN all set up on the ‘book and wanted to get rid of those pesky Icon files. This command does the trick perfectly.

First, run

find . -name Ico*

to list out all the Icon files you actually have.

Then, run

find . -name Ico* -exec rm -f {} \;

to actually remove them. SWEET!
