Keep all bookmarks accessible from LAN and internet


Do you have a small home network?

Sometimes when i save as a favorite an interesting website, as this blog :-), for example in PC, and then, working and wanted to go to that site, I had to move on fixed PC because, obviously, bookmarks saved on pc and i'm working on laptop...


Do you want to keep all bookmarks accessible?

The extension del.icio.us Bookmarks for Firefox (must have an account on del.icio.us), share your bookmarks among all the computers on your network and not only, it's also accessible directly from Internet!

Then just add a site to favorites once and it will always available on any comupter we are using, on holiday or at work ...

To install, you only have to use Firefox as browser, follow this link, click install now and restart Firefox.

Here is a quick guide on how to use it, even if the operation is very intuitive and you can safely follow your nose.

W Firefox!

VLC VideoLan, DivX XviD player on PS3 with YDL Linux


After install VLC Player i was able to play avi files over the network from NAT, from removable drive and from shared folder on Windows PC.

How it works? You need to log on as root on the blue screen and choose the gnome environment on your YDL.

I also find out that once you install VLC on gnome environment it will also run on the YDL enlightment environment, but gnome is more stable.

Step 1. Getting VLC Player installed onto the PS3, including all dependencies.

Download the 7zip file and use archive manager (default) to extract the 9 file in /etc/yum.repos.d you'll need to set the directory because it will try to download to the desktop.
Overwrite if necessary.

www.trofio.altervista.org/zip/therepos.7z

now open a gnome teminal and type

"yum update"

this will update your repositories.

Once its completed we will install VLC player simply by typing

"yum install videolan-client"

VoilĂ  your favourite video player!

PS: Now with firmware 2.10 our beast could read divx, but if you want play video from your LAN, Linux and VLC are required...

UTorrent, light client to download the torrent


If you need a client to download songs, movies and whatever (obviously not protected by copyright,) among many take uTorrent which has the peculiarity of being the smallest.

In only 170Kbyte of software we are all features necessary to open the torrent who are on various sites such as www.mininova.org etc ...

Another interesting feature is that uTorrent does not require installation and can work well even from a USB flash drive.

It's easy to configure, just download it and then double-click on the executable file. You will be asked to your speed connection and uTorrent is ready to open the torrent around the network.

For any clarification on the operation of this mechanism, you do not have to ask...

How to use BitTorrent?

Sometime friends tired to use e-mule or just curious to use BitTirrent ask me how it work, they say it's a bit complicated.

Not at all, in fact the only difference compared to the mule is that the research phase is done through special sites (here found a portrait of the best, in my opinion, of course!) instead of directly from the client program. But let's go with order:

1. Get one of the many clients 4 torrent and install (I like uTorrent, download and run without installation! But Azureus and so on are ok)

2. Go to the site torrent that prefer (list)

3. Look what you want and download the file, automatically uTorrent will start to download and share.

Really Simple and really peer-to-peer!

PS: if you want a software that search in hundreds of torrent sites in just 1 click try BitChe!

The best sites to download Torrent


Now they are 2 years that I left e-mule (the fact I never really used it..) for BitTorrent.

Before the BitTorrent client, and then Azureus recently uTorrent that I feel better because it is light, will do everything i need and function well.

I wish hold on sites that make available torrent to download, after a long search, I found the 4 that I consider the best:

www.mininova.org where there are a lot of films, television series and cartoon series .

www.meganova.org virtually identical to mininova but there is more music.

www.btjunkie.org that i use especially for gaming.

www.tntvillage.org perhaps the best, is a community of ethical trade, which pursues the objectives indicated by ScambioEtico.org (but a lot of material are in italian...)

Of course, this selection is absolutely personal, based on my experience of use and therefore questionable. In addition torrent sites born every day, so they are very welcome other reports.

Good work!

Find torrent from multiple sites simultaneously


After a long absence for various reasons (not least a certain tiramjento ...) i go back to write something on the blog!

I wanted to report a very nice program that lets you search a lot of torrent sites (like mininova, mononova, mybittorrent, torrentspy and who has more will put more) with a single click, without even having to open the browser!

This wonder is called BitChe, when I started using it was completely free, now there are two versions, one with few restrictions and no.
However, the free version does everything that we needs without problems.

The Search is very simple, just enter the name of what you are interested in, and click "search" and then you can load the torrent directly with utorrent or another client.

PS: "Che" that appears in the name is in honor of Ernesto Che Guevara, a good reason to be used!

Hasta siempre comandante!
