…you know, for a new blog update. I mean, if I really had more time to type things into my website only to have it be publicly criticized, gosh darn, that’s all the motivation I need! I don’t need time, I don’t need to work on linear algebra homework, I can just write in my blog. Because I haven’t done it in a while. Half a year isn’t so bad.

So what’s new? I’ve began dabbling a bit into open source software in my free time (instead of writing in my blog! the blasphemy) and while the project is nothing too glamorous at this point, it is being maintained and updated…in my free time…blog…

Yeah, so the concept of this project was to simply take the existing (and pretty well built) wTorrent project and turn it into something more advanced…like wTorrent Advanced !  yes, very original; it took me all of my non-existent free time to come up with that and the logo.

wTorrent Advanced

Ok, so what is this exactly? Simply put, it is a web interface to a shell based torrent client (rtorrent) that communicates via XMLRPC. This project takes wTorrent’s codebase and improves the general user experience by adding in nifty little controls – file management, expanded admin capabilities, torrent management enhancements via categories/tags/whatever I want to put in. More details can be found at my trac site.

Right now, the project is very bleeding-edge and alpha-phasish, meaning if you want to try it, it’s at your own risk.

Now it’s 10PM and I gotta check woot.
