Success! Building Transmission 1.80 From Source on SheevaPlug
I saw the announcement on the Transmission website of the release of transmission 1.80 and I got really excited about some of the features such as tracker-less torrents and magnet links. I was running 1.51 which is what’s in the Ubuntu Jaunty repos. Unfortunately I can’t upgrade my SheevaPlug to any Ubuntu distro beyond 9.04 because there is some funny business on how they’re compiling the arm packages for future releases. Eventually I’ll switch over to Debian but I really don’t feel like mucking around with the serial console on my plug.

Sears Surprise
Since selling my 37” Panny plasma last spring I’ve been in the market for a new TV. All summer and fall I searched for a great deal on a larger 1080p set. My preference for a replacement flip-flopped between nearly all competing technologies. Countless times while perusing Slickdeals.net I *almost* bought a TV but backed out at the last minute, unsure of my decision. It was only last month that I found a deal that I liked enough to jump on – a Samsung PN50B550 for $820. Little did I know what adventures awaited me!
True Priorities
If asked what was really important in my life, the ‘right’ answer would place God, education, and family high on the list. That’s the answer that I have been taught. That’s the answer that something deep and sleeping and significant in me knows is true. But this isn’t the answer that I live by.
