Recently I had the need to resize a lot of images to a specific size for presentation. Since I use GIMP a lot I tried to resize them using GIMP. But manually resizing every one of them is a tedious job.
It was then that I realised that I could do a batch resize of the images, but that I did not know how to do that using GIMP.
A little googling around I came across this piece of script which just works wonderfully.

If you happen to have a very large collection of wallpapers with mixed up resolutions then think no further. ImageMagick comes to your resuce to help you sort the wallpapers based on the resolutions.
According to the makers of ImageMagick :
ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to scale, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.
I have put together a little shell script which will help you sort you wallpaper collection according to resolution.

But with literally a huge database it takes ages to download the wallpapers to browse and download.
So if you are in a hurry just use the wallbase script to leech the wallpapers of the site and then sort them at your leisure.

When I used to use Windows XP, i was in love with uTorrent.
It was a small light-weight torrent client and with low memory usage. I was just fond of it for all my torrent related activities.
But when I shifted to Ubuntu I missed uTorrent very much. People said that it was possible to run uTorrent in Ubuntu using Wine, but I didn’t give it a shot and moved to Transmission instead.
Just a few days ago I found that uTorrent had released a native client for linux. I was overjoyed and moved to try it out.
First head over to the uTorrent Downloads page for the linux native client and download it.
