TorrentFreak.com has featured my recent article about BitTorrent based TV show subscription using pytvshows.

Nice. Thanks guys.

The power supply of my external hard drive just died. Luckily I quickly found a replacement unit in a drawer.

As far as I can tell the drive survived this incident without any physical or filesystem damages. Still this raises some questions:

• Why do I have five unused power supplies in a drawer? I only found two out of five matching devices.
• Why do four out of five unused power supplies have the same connector, but different voltage levels? Isn’t that dangerous for the devices?
• How long will the replacement power supply keep up, as it has 20% less power than the previous one?

Maybe you can help to avoid that the last question can be answered to soon. Please contact me if you have a spare 12V, 1.5A, DC power brick. :)

Meinen iPod Nano hab ich nun schon seit ein paar Wochen. Jetzt wo's langsam trüb und kalt wird, will der natürlich gut verpackt sein.

Zum Glück hat ihm eine Freundin eine wärmende und schützende iPod Socke gestrickt. Knallrot, kuschelig weich und ein echtes Unikat.
Vielen Dank Aleks!
