My BT client has just established a connection with the Demonoid tracker! The site at demonoid.com is still down however. If this is indeed the tracker back online, it is very encouraging news!

Today I installed the beta for Kubuntu 7.10 and I am surprised how well it worked with the integration of the old and new. I do admit there are always going to be some problems with it. As with anything that says beta you have stuff that always goes wrong. There is this one problem with it that I am going to have figure out what. It says that it can’t update because it is being used.
They updated the Firefox extensions to include ADblock Plus and some very nice tools with Ubuntu. You can download more extensions with this then you could before. Firefox loads a little quicker. It also has several other features that is best left for you to explore.
It Handles the non-free devices a whole lot better. It shows you have a device that can be updated with that little window. If this device is restricted it also tells you this.
All in all I’ve have to give this a pretty good update for Ubuntu, I’ll be curious to see what else I’ll find when I get even deeper into the system. I do know I like the graphics they added. It almost has an XP feel to it. If you would like to know more just visit the website and try it for yourself.

SEATTLE – Video game enthusiasts in the United States plunked down about $170 million on copies of “Halo 3” in the 24 hours after the Xbox 360 game went on sale, Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday.
“‘Halo 3’ has become a pop-culture phenomenon,” Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, said in a statement.
The game, which was developed by Microsoft-owned Bungie Studios, completes the saga of helmet-clad Master Chief and his quest to save humankind from aliens.
Fans pre-ordered more than 1.7 million copies of the game, and more than 10,000 stores opened at midnight Monday to start selling, according to Microsoft. The much-anticipated launch was marred only slightly by reports that limited-edition packaging left scratches on game disks.
“The initial demand we’ve seen for ‘Halo 3’ has been astounding,” Jill Hamburger, vice president of movies and games at Best Buy, said in a statement.
Wow, I didn’t expect this did anyone else. I’d figure Halo 3 wouldn’t of top this high of a record!
