Startup Application Knowledge Base

by taoski on January 18, 2005

If you want to know exactly what’s running on your PC at startup, check the following website out:

Startup Application Knowledge Base

It contains a list of 4687 known programs and their descriptions - so you can identify them! I have also used a program called WinTasks Pro (which you can get on a 16 day trial from here at Filemirrors) and it does something similar - but did not appear to identify all processes i was running though. It has a handy log file section that shows as process start and stop - useful for tracking down odd things!

Exeem Hits the headlines - already!

by taoski on January 7, 2005

BBC NEWS | Technology | File-swappers ready new network

The forthcoming Exeem program has already been getting press on the BBC website. The article also discusses the probability of the music and film companies inserting fake files into the network like they did with Kazaa. Lets hope that sites like Suprnova will host links to verified files the way they did with the Bittorrent network.

Site Update

by taoski on January 5, 2005

Just a quick post regarding the design of this site.

I pretty much like how it is currently but will be adding a few “bells and whistles” in the near future. I have got (or re-discovered) my WebSpace from BTInternet/Yahoo so i can host images, files and things on there so … watch this space.

I have just added a series of links on the right hand side of the screen so that you can jump direct to my current favorite sites. If people have any links to share or have a comment on the design of this site, please let me know - either via the chat window thing or add a comment under this post. Feedback is nice to get. I’m not sure if the current format for the information i am providing is best! Maybe just a series of links would be better. Let me know!

I am also thinking of adding a way that people can be emailled when the site has been updated with a new posting. Is that something you want? Let me know!

I have also added a link to download the Firefox browser too - as i am now using that in preference to Internet Explorer. Just a shame i can’t use it at work really. If you are using FireFox, you can add this site as an RSS feed so it appears as a “Live Bookmark“. If you don’t know what i mean - you might be missing out! ;)

Torrent Stop

by taoski on January 5, 2005

Here is a link to a cut down version of Lokitorrent created especially for people who are migrating from Suprnova. It has the same information as the Lokitorrent site - but in a slightly cut down format.

It still has too much information for me on there. Not quite as good as SuprNova.

We need something like a combination of this and the recent torrents listing on TorrentSpy.com.
The link is here: Torrent Stop - Your one stop shop for torrents :: Welcome to Torrent Stop
