World of Warcraft questing can be made a whole hell of a lot easier and faster. Here’s some of the stuff I’ve played with.
2012-08-27 edit: I use Leatrix Plus for quest acceptance and completion, and my own macro/hotkey for clicking on the topmost item in my tracked quest list. Nothing else is needed.
(Note: some of the images went missing from an old host, and all I have are thumbnails.)
more possibly coming later

I would NEVER EVER recommend regular humans go anywhere near running raw server software on their desktop. It’s a horror – I mean truly a horror unlike any you’ve ever imagined – to get that shit to work, to lock it down and to keep it running. If for some reason you did want to run a server, use a proper server distribution. A branch will eventually crop up for Unity Linux I’m sure, but there are Linux and BSD distributions which excel at this task.
So for us regular humans, a LAMP (software bundle) is the best thing to use. This is a collection of all the necessary tools which have been pre-configured to cooperate and bundled together in one .. much easier to use package. This concept has become wildly improved over the years, and I’ve used a bunch of different packages.

JDownloader is a download helper. It helps bypass various wait screens like the Firefox SkipScreen add-on, probably breaking terms of use and all that goodness.
Unfortunately, it’s Java.

A BitTorrent client.
It can’t copy magnet links, so it’s best to not use it.
So I’ve been farting around after a long break from doing much of anything on Linux. I was prompted by my new hard drive arriving.
I spent some time migrating data from five separate hard drives and a stack of DVDs. One of my next goals was to get backups working, so that I can back up from my SSD to this new drive.
I have an old backup script, but I decided that I could spend this afternoon screwing around with it to optimize it a little.
Using the wonderful mcedit which comes with Midnight Commander, I hacked away. Linux being what it is, there was a tangled horror of stuff I needed to try to remember, look up through my notes, get answers to and/or figure out.
