Video/Photos: Transport truck crashes into light pole, leaking oil into nearby pond -Cornwall Ontario

9:30 PM September 2nd 2013

A transport appearing to contain dairy products has crashed into a light pole at 12 flags Cornwall south of the 401 exit on Brookdale Avenue causing damage to the engine resulting in an oil leak into the storm drain flowing to a nearby pond. Cornwall Fire department responded and quickly started laying down oil absorber, however, as per regulations, the Ministry of the Environment has been contacted to advise of the oil leaking into the groundwater.

Cornwall electric also responded to shut off the local power so that the vehicle could be removed.

No paramedics were on scene and it appeared to be a low speed collision, while injuries are not known, none are expected.

Lightning storm in cornwall ontario 2013 09 02

There was a beautiful lightning storm in Cornwall Ontario overnight, I went out with my Gopro Hero 3 Black camera and videotaped most of it. The video took a while to render and much longer to cut up but I think it turned out pretty nice. Here is a frame from the video:

How to make utorrent stream video files and download pieces sequentally

Edit 2014-05-08

Don't use utorrent, use
http://qbittorrent.sourceforge.net/
It's gnu opensource, cross platform windows/linux/mac/bsd

Watch the video at the bottom for more details

EDIT 2014-03-28
 (This seems to be removed from certain versions of torrent, I recommend version 3.2.2 build 28500

I never seem to be able to get utorrent + vlc or the built in player to stream videos properly.. 

So I figured out how to "hack" it into doing just as I wished, and download each piece sequentially so I can watch videos as they download.

To do this I went to advance settings and changed two options:

First set bt_prio_first_last_piece to true

Second, set streaming.min_buffer_piece to something ridiculously high such as 1000.

Then click the stream button and it should start downloading all the pieces in order nicely.

Now you can open in a regular media player such as media player classic.

And here is a demonstration of it working:
