RSS-torrent

RSS-torrent [1] is a command line broad-catching program that downloads selected torrents from an RSS or Twitter feed and puts them in a directory for your bittorrent program to download. The torrents to download are selected using filters that look at the name, size, and episode/season of the torrent. A mechanism is in place to prevent double downloads. RSS-torrent can even send an email when a new episode is found.

RSS-torrent is released unter GPLv3.

Gordon: Flash runtime in JavaScript

Gordon [1] lets you run your SWF movie files in a JavaScript based environment, without the need of any plugins or additional software. It takes advantage of the latest web technologies like SVG to render vector based graphics or Web Workers for enhanced performance and to parse even large SWF’s in the background, without blocking the user interface. Furthermore, it gives you full access and control of the resources, characters and timeline behaviours in your movie via JavaScript or DOM scripting.

Gordon is licensed under the terms of the MIT License.
