Opera 8.02 Build # 766 Goes BitTorrent!

The new Opera 8.02 Build #766 includes now a BitTorrent client. Yet it’s only a TP (i.e. “Technical Preview”) but it’s impressive. I have tried it with downloading Opera itself by BitTorrent and I was impressed, because it was faster than with the other BitTorrent clients I have tried (which only work correctly with routers if you open manually wide port ranges).

I am impressed! For Opera, BitTorrent downloads nearly appear as normal downloads in the “Transfers” tab with the difference, that Opera saves the “.torrent” files in the same location that you have choosen to save your download to.

Well done, Opera! 🙂

Random Chat Is Back!

Udo – The ICQ Team announced that the by many ICQ users loved Random Chat is back!

I have never used it in past ICQ clients before they once dropped it, but I anyway think it’s great that they listened to the many user requests and screams for its return and so re-implemented it into ICQ 5.

also seen a couple of nice people there (so I have made myself available for Random Chat to try it out).

Blog News!

Sorry, for not updating the blog for a long while! we had lightening and it destroyd the internet upload channel box in the cellar, so I was offline for 5 days. Then I had boards to post in, and I have received 140 emails and around 10 ICQ offline messages.

Furthermore, since the new Technorati blog search is now added in my sidepannel of the blog, the categories are no longer needed, really.

Well, I have been using Flickr in past too, never had problems, so wonder how it improved for Opera users, but at least it works now officially. 🙂 thanks to the Flickr Team to offically support Opera now 🙂

So Silly!

And again one of my friends told me about an amazing silly site. And the sad thing is: Those people are totally serious!

STOP ALIEN ABDUCTIONS
No, it’s not only the homepage bad as it seems, no it’s also the idea. Protect yourself from mind controls from aliens by wearing foil helmes

And the shocking thing! They even offer it for kids!

How silly! And that really scares me, I mean, ok, if you want to be a nerd and wear such helmes, ok but don’t drag your kids into it! That is my opinion. well, the world is silly and we life among them. heheh.

GMail Invite Spooler down!

Bad news! The GMail Invite Spooler is unfortunately down 🙁

From their homepage:

I have gotten the word from Gmail’s Product Manager that my service is no longer tolerable. At midnight PDT June 7th, 2005, this service was disabled. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all who contributed to this service. Your generosity helped out a vast number of people and for that you should be proud.

The gmail spooler email account is now deactivated and any mail sent to it will bounce. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to drop me a line: email@isnoop.net

Luckily there are kind people like me! 😀 So you can still get a free GMail Invitation from me! 🙂
