Automatically download TV Shows using TED

July 18th, 2009 by Connor McBrine-Ellis | 6 Comments | Filed in Apps, Piracy

TED is a program that automatically searches for new episodes of your favorite tv shows on RSS feeds and then automatically downloads them and opens them in your Torrent client of choice to download.

This program’s pretty handy if you want to use your computer sort of as a PVR but instead, just automatically download the shows off the internet.

You can select shows from a list of preset shows, click subscribe and then Ted will automatically download the show the next time a new episode comes on the RSS feed.

TuxGuitar – Play, Create and Read Guitar tabs

July 9th, 2009 by Connor McBrine-Ellis | 3 Comments | Filed in Apps, Music, Online, Tech

TuxGuitar is an exellent piece of software I recently discovered.

It is completely open-source and reads and creates Guitar Tablature files. It even is compatible with the file format used by the commercial software Guitar Pro 5, allowing it to read and write to files that software can understand.

It’s the perfect solution to get those song ideas that are stuck in your head onto paper so you don’t lose them.

Also, if you ever go on www.ultimate-guitar.com and see Guitar Pro tabs, then this can read them, so you can read the tab as the song is playing.

Download it Now! and give it a try.
