A hacker’s BitTorrent client.
I had used this for a while, but using something like it is a bit frustrating for me. It’s rarely updated and is lacking a number of convenience features.
I was thinking of hacking some solutions to my grievances when I just got frustrated and dumped it to try Deluge again.

To read
This book is mind blowing. I think the best description I can give of what it’s topic and goals are is to present the first chapter, in full. From here I think anyone interested in the subject will understand fully where this book is going and the intentions of the authors.
- Properly titled Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought
-
By George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.
- TODO – The various Wikipedia topics would need references to cognitive philosophy as a contraindication to the various topics, and in those topics to specifically cite passages in the introduction in this book.

TODO – Finish the linking.

A documentary-style mini-series that touches on bunches of the history of western science, but then gets absolutely horrifyingly abysmally wrong. So wrong as to be a bunch of lies.

to be re-watched for a summary
Though it’s definitely recommended for most people to watch and understand, I didn’t particularly like it because I knew everything in it and wasn’t entertained, and so I sold it at a profit.
