How To: Transmission-CLI and RSS
I really like Transmission-CLI for torrents, however it is lacking many features I used with uTorrent. One of them is downloading torrents automatically from an RSS feed. My reason for this is that I love Top Gear. But I don’t have BBC America (or a TV) so my only alternative is downloading it. But I don’t want to have to manually find the latest episode and then wait for it to download. This is a short how-to to get a simple RSS system set up using transmission-cli.
Prerequisites:
- transmission-cli set up and running on your computer (on debian systems it’s as simple as “apt-get install transmission-cli”)

A $173.40 Toothbrush and More Server Shenanigans!
I went to the dentist today for the first time in over 3 years. I know, and I’m a bad flosser too. Since I don’t have dental insurance, the cost for the cleaning and x-rays was $173.40 which included a complimentary toothbrush. Why the toothbrush? Why not just knock $100 off my total bill? I would like that much more than a red toothbrush and some floss.

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.
