Running Azureus as a windows service revisited

This is a follow-up to my 2006 post. It’s a shame I’m not using Windows any more and I can’t figure this out for OS X, but the old post continues to get hits, so I thought I would neaten things up a bit!

Running Azureus as a windows service

This post has been superceded. Please check out Running Azureus as a windows service revisited.

I am in the process of writing another howto.

Actually, all I am doing is documenting a process that I went through to get Azureus running as a windows service. I really wanted to be able to have (down+up)loads working even when [...]

More on gmail

Gmail is starting to look nice. Some problems, but otherwise looking pretty sweet. A quick summary:

Bad:

I’m having a bit of trouble understanding the search syntax, and am a bit annoyed that you can’t use all of the options in your filters. I wish you could look at two folders at once, either AND or OR

Update on email views

Went looking around today to see what I could do to get gmail working a bit more like yahoo (as I have suddenly discovered isn’t so bad)

Found this first of all: Spamgourmet which is quite a way to generate disposable email addresses on-the-fly. Quite handy.
