Hi, this is my second screencast. This time I talk about parted, an alternative to fdisk.

There is audio skipping towards the end of the screencast, which I discovered only after uploading this video to youtube.

I’ll add a link to the full video on rapidshare once I have posted this on Danny’s site.

In my first ever screencast, I ‘enlighten’ the uninformed few on facebook badges. I’m not really happy with myself in this screencast, however, it was a good chance for me to learn about screencasting in linux.

You should also check out my friend Danny, who has done quite a few quality screencasts.

For those of you who want a higer quality version, you can download it here

My friend Danny wrote about this new torrent search engine, YouTorrent. With Malaysia’s frustratingly slow internet connections, with the many accusations of throttling or traffic shaping when it comes to torrents, direct downloads maybe be an alternative option.

This is where one-click-hosting sites comes into play. These sites allow you to upload files to their servers, which they then ‘host’. You’ll be given a link to download them, which can then be passed on to all your contacts, making your media accessible all over the world.  Rapidshare.com is one the the early pioneers and more popular of the lot. Their multiple mirrors and reliability seem pretty good to me, making it one of my preferred file sharing hosts.

There are quite a number of sites that post ‘files’ on rapidshare.com. The 2 which I frequent the most are:

• Rapidshare King
• Leecher’s Lair

Rapidshare King primaryly uploads movies, while Leecher’s Lair provides everything else under the sun. I personally know a few users with paid RapidShare accounts, because of how easy it is to download things.

Hope this posts helps you guys in getting another alternative to torrenting.

Here’s a list of WordPress themes for those who can’t stand the default theme supplied. Some pretty good themes there, one of which I’m using right now for my blog. Should be good for most people around.
