Trying to run around and source a machine to run a git repo here in the Uni, but failing quite spectacularly. I have quite a few machines I can use, but finding a space for them is near impossible.
The good news, however, is that once I find a space for these computers I can use them for my MSc and finally get that out of the way. This means it’s once again time for me to get back to work on that document. Should be interesting.
So my flatmate liked the idea behind my RSS downloader (Link), and he’s created a slightly different one that he uses to download podcasts from some of his favorite sites. It’s nice because it much simpler in that it doesn’t need to do as much parsing as mine, and so the code is a bit friendlier.
I also think that he probably spent a bit of time commenting his code 
.
So, I updated my phone to the new JFv1.43_RC9 UK release and then promptly bricked the phone while trying to install a theme, LOL.
The phone is unbricked now, but the setup process for the phone is being dumb and taking ages.
Hopefully this will be dealt with soon and I can get on with my work.
I’ve been working on a PERL script that will take an RSS feed from a URL, parse through it and then download the .torrent files for the shows/movies/apps/porn/music, etc. that you’ve defined in a seperate file.
I’m currently using the script along with torrentfluxb4rt in order to scan the RSS feeds from my favorite torrent sites and automatically begin downloading the content.
The guide is up on the site. Simply hover over the projects link at the top of the page and then click on RSS Feed.
Happy torrenting!
