February 2007 Archives

Admittedly, I've created a fair number of Singletons in my day. But I've moved on in recent years, and see the error of my ways.

We finally switched to subversion because in theory, it was better than what we were using (MKS), turns out subversion is quite awful in its own right.

Just uploaded some minor tweaks to feed2torrent and named it beta 3. Specifically I added ETag and last modified support to the feed fetching. Unfortunately I don't know any feeds that support ETag and last modified, so it hasn't been tested all that well, if at all. Besides that, it has been working famously. Enjoy.

My continued dorking around with python has led me to the creation of a script that can download torrent files from a rss/atom feed, and spawn enhanced ctorrent instances that retrieve the files the torrent references. It can be found on the feed2torrent page.

Recently I've been dorking around with Python, using it to manage enhanced ctorrent instances. One of the difficulties is that the stdout from ctorrent and nearly all command-line/console applications are plain, unstructured, text.
