Deluge: The BitTorrent Client I’ve Been Looking For

December 30, 2007No Comments

I’ve been using Azureus for years as my BitTorrent client, but I’ve been increasingly dissatisfied with its performance.  I often had trouble getting downloads to start (even with no proxies or encryption enabled), and it was hogging system resources it didn’t deserve.  It’s become more bloated with each new release, and it got to the …

December 29, 2007No Comments

I switched hosting companies at the beginning of December, because I needed hosting with a little more power and flexibility than I had.

December 19, 2007No Comments

This morning Captain Bushy notified us that we have changed the port we will be visiting in Costa Rica. We will now be at the port of Golfito, and will be at a dock instead of anchored off shore. This should make it much easier for us to go ashore and return to the ship. …

December 16, 20072 Comments

This coming week officially starts final exams here at Mass Maritime.  However, many teachers have decided to either give their final exam early, to alleviate the stress of having all finals in one week, or to give the last test of the semester.  As a result, the past two weeks have found me busy studying …
