How to search and download torrent files

October 6th, 2008 - Posted on guides, sites, software | 1 Comment »

torrent

Here's an easy and fast for those not very experienced in p2p, after a few minutes you'll be able to download your first torrent file.

  • First you need a special client, I always advice uTorrent very fast and light (not even need to be installed), Short will also be available versions for Mac and Linux. Choose to download the stable, when we are at 1.8
  • Once we have the client on pc we should start our search for torrent, so we need special search engines, it is there were many Italian and foreign. Unfortunately, the biggest tracker of our country (colombo-bt) was closed recently for problems related to copyright, if you want to search on a large Italian community can serve to tntvillage, to search you can just type the name of what you serve in the search bar torrent.
  • Where the material object of research is very recent (film just come out to the cinema or new album music) you need for large engines foreign contain uppati by thousands of users and does not have strict rules for copyright, the best ever are probably Mininova and btjunkie, very difficult not find what you are looking at these two sites.
  • If the file you are looking particolarmante is rare you can breed the results of dozens of engines in a single screen with pizzatorrent ;)
  • Once found and downloaded onto your computer with the file extension. Torrent we are ready to start the download, simply open the client previously installed and select add torrent from the drop down file.
  • If the download does not start in 99.9% of cases it is advisable to check the settings of your firewall, to speed a few kb download of your file can increase by 15-20% (these values if raised too "steal" band) the maximum number of connections in preferences.




Wordpress transform into a tumblr?

August 9th, 2008 - Posted in geek, guide, special, wordpress | 2 Comments »

microblogging-tumblr-wordpress

Like complicate life? Ok, you've found the guide for you. When I decided to open a blog in the mists of time (oh, well 5 months ago) I was surprised the amount of services and servizietti used by bloggers.

At first I ignored them, especially because the blog itself was still to be completed and the short time later for various reasons (the feed reader with 400 news not read every morning) I had to be adjusted. One of the main problems of a blogger is the over-information, reading every day about twenty feed often find interesting links and not having time to write material for an article. Discarding a priori Twitter and Plurk that with maximum 140 characters are in practice chat choice fell on tumblr. With this service you find an article to share just click on the button in the toolbar of the browser to publish it with the link (including photos and video).

After a month of good test tumblr began to show some limits, editable themes to a certain point and little control over the code of the page, are obvious limitations to an "external". Thus began the search for a cms that was as close as possible to tumblr, sliding several platforms I have not found anything so simple and fast for my link / photo / video.

A week ago the Ideon (said the man who had just discovered the hot water) and if usassi as a tumblr Wordpress?

Wordpress 2.6 version allows you to enter items through a shortcut through the bar just as tumblr, for those who do not want / could update is available the appropriate plugin Quick-post.

wordpress

The great wordpress is not meant to be used as a simple service to micro-blogging, the code is "heavy", there is considerable over-engineering, mountains of requests to the database.

We are therefore faced with a fork, or we have a dedicated hosting (not my case) or we do a good wordpress slimming cure. To bring wordpress in the "weight" we can proceed in two ways: directly act on code and queries, making a super-lightweight theme.

The first road leads us to plug LightPress come now to 2.0.0, installing the plug on wordpress lot easier connections to the database and the code is minimized. You can see it in action on Orientalia4all. The second option leads instead to iArtistic, a nice theme for wordpress developed by an Italian boy. This very minimal in the main body uses just 3 files to work (index.php, header.php, comments.php), the image in the background is very light. Do not forget the plugin WP Super Cache which avoids a lot of stress to the database when there are many views on a particular article.

Here is the final result, from now on to access "pills" just click on the disk to right:

Decrypt php code in minutes

Working with php can happen to be in front of portions of encrypted code. Typically, programmers use this strategy to ensure that the user can modify the claims at their jobs, often we can find themes like wordpress cms.

Usually this aspect has:

<?php $V2b379f63a2a27b28784b33bde ==';eval(gzinflate(base64_decode($V2b379f63a2a27b28784b33bdeb16cd32))); ?>

Not finding enough clear guide in Italian on I decided to write a very simple few steps that can decrypt virtually every type of code. Networking is also simple script but rarely work with all the strings.

  • identify the piece of code to decrypt and copy it into a text editor (I recommend the classic Notebook)
  • click on the File drop-down menu and "save", save the file extension. php, the name does not matter
  • load the file on our web space
  • the fact that we open the page with a browser like Firefox (also fits explorer eh)
  • click on the page right mouse button and select "view source" or "view code"

That's it, now we have our code decrypted. Try not to use the guide for little noble ;)





Vlog little guidance / advice

June 17th, 2008 - Posted in geek, guide, sites, special video | No Comments »

The video has nothing to do with anything above is the result that returns youtube beating "vlog" today. Bella daughter for charity but if you understand English will fall the "balls" on the ground after a few seconds.

What is a Vlog?

The Vlog is obviously the merger between Video and Blog. Some "purists" argue that in a true Vlog should be only the personal video bloggers, actually was born as a phenomenon in the U.S. is not wrong. To give you an example iWishblog.com is not a Vlog, rather an "aggregator of video" (and here we go wide with the definition).

Italy (from here onwards will forgive but I will speak to Vlog and video aggregators like the same thing):

Finalized blog / vlog, I started to get some giretto on other sites to get a general idea of the situation Italiana. In the beautiful country we are not equipped for people like overseas (fortunately add). There's the famous "Dissacration" that is structurally done better (mega-archives of post high volume, high pagerank beautiful thanks to network "isayblog"). As for VLOGGER real if I have to be honest I have not yet found, one that probably comes close to us most is Sw4n suggests that sometimes the videos made fun of him. So in Italy are still those few that face us seriously.

Some tips for a video blog:

- Do not post music videos or other video content protected by copyright (including snippets of film), why is not legal but practical. Youtube and other services is regularly check the contents and often delete. Would you be then forced to continuously edit the post, and when exceeded the 500 becomes difficult if not impossible.

- Do not ever viewed more than 6 / 7 video-page articles. The pages of a Vlog is very heavy for the processor, when superseded a number of video per page "embedded glass beads' browsers visitors. Not having all pc trendy you should save resources or lose visits.

- Do not you put on a Vlog with free services like Blogspot or third-level domains Wordpress (you can not do it but you should absolutely).

The reasons are two:

1) if ever decide to import your blog miss all the video as it happened to pirla (excuse the Piedmont), which is writing. There is no script for the import of video content in operation, forget the automatic import of Wordpress content with embedded working dogs

2) the third-level domains offered by free services with considerable archives and mountains are Backlink half of the visits compared with a second-level domain ... "when it goes well"

- The graphics of a Vlog should be treated more than a Blog, the eye in this case does not want his part, directly from master.

-If you ever decide to really get the face you are aware of the fact that this video can do around the world, storpiato be edited and all the most perverse you to imagine, then get ridiculed but informed

Gravatar how to put directly into the theme of wordpress

May 1st, 2008 - Posted on guide | No Comments »

Today, between a bicycle tour and ice cream are also able to install gravatar on wordpress. I gravatar are practically the graphic representation of personal identity on the Internet, images appear as small-sided comments. Wordpress 2.5 supports "natively", my theme of course not. Wanting to avoid installing additional plugin I wrote a couple of lines in php templates and everything seems to work wonders.

The procedure is as follows: Open the panel wordpress-> aspetto/design-> Change Skin-> now click on the file comments.php

Done this look inside the code the line <? Php comment_text () ?>, Should be around the thirtieth line, depends on the theme that you use.

Before the row that included the portion of code you find on this page. That's it, if your blog works and have not yet made disasters should start seeing the images alongside personal comments. I would remind you that to register a gravatar is necessary to go on www.gravatar.com ;-)
