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.

Server Update!
In my post Ch-ch-changes! I spoke about getting WordPress to run on IIS 7, Vista, etc. It was a huge pain. 2 days ago I had a genius idea that I was surprised I hadn’t thought of before. What prompted it was an article on Engadget about a tiny linux computer that would fit in a wall wart – TINY! It has a relatively powerful ARM processor (usually used in cell phones) with 512 MB RAM and 512 MB onboard flash memory. The first thing I thought about that was: LAMP server! I have to wait until the price drops to $50 to see if it will work.
