Well the other day I downloaded the latest version of Fedora Linux (Core 4) (.torrent) (mirror), and was surprised to see that instead of having MD5SUM check files there were SHA1SUM files. Since I am using Mac OS-X (10.4) and have Fink installed (which provides many ports of popular linux apps, such as md5sum), I was surprised to find that I did not have sha1sum installed. To fix the situation I just went over to the coreutils website downloaded and compiled the source, and moved the sha1sum file into my path (I put it in /sw/bin/ since that’s where fink installed my md5sum). Knowing that others would probably run into this same problem and might be too lazy to do the same, I figured I’d provide the binary for this file here. Enjoy!
Free Stuff
I’ve done this before, and hounded most of you about this a while ago but I only need one more offer on these to get these items so I figured its worth a shot to post them again. You can easily get a Free iPod Shuffle(3 Referals) and a Free Gaming System (XBox, Nintendo DS, Playstation, etc) (4 referals) from the Gratis Network. And I just noticed today that you can also get a free XBox 360(8 Referals) from them as well. I got a free 20GB iPod and a 40GB photo iPod from this same company so its completely legit. You just have to sign up on their website and subscribe to one of their offers, ranging from an account to Blockbuster Online, credit cards (you don’t have to spend any money here!), or online music services (such as Napster, or Real Players’s Rhapsody). So help me out, and lets get some free stuff!
Lords of Dogtown
Its not even a good movie. Seriously… If your thinking of going to go see this movie, go to your local video store and buy/rent “Dogtown and the Z-Boyz”, even if you’ve already seen it a million times before. That documentary is honestly more entertaining, has better interviews, and much better skating footage. I give “Lords of Dogtown” ZERO out of four Eurethane wheels. Worst movie I’ve ever seen (I can’t believe I paid to see this movie).
