My First C# Project: hellanzb-remote-dotnet

Frustrated with the lack of quality Usenet binary downloader for Windows (if only Unzbin were open source) I set out to gain some proficiency in a new language and framework. Using C# and .NET I created a simple remote UI for hellanzb. It supports all commands as well as multiple servers.
While version 1.0.0 may exhibit many amateur methods. I have since spent many hours learning from others and improving my coding practices in relation to C#/.NET and plan to revise the code soon.

A HellaNZB remote GUI for Windows

hellanzb-remote-dotnet is a Windows remote client to the RPC interface of hellanzb. Inspired by µRemote and Hellau!

While attempting to port the code to support sabdnzbd I decided to start work on a new long term project. I hope to provide a full NZB Downloader suite including:

• Windows Native Client/Server
• Windows Remote Client
• Linux Remote Client
• Android Remote Client

Future support may include:

• Mac Native Client/Server
• Mac Remote Client
• iPhone Remote Client

I am very excited to see what new desktop applications I can come up with!

Ryon is a hardware programmer?

After more than a year of absence I've returned and I plan to keep my blog more updated...even if I am the only one reading it at this moment. You see, my blogging has been neglected due to the latest addition to my life, my son and future hacker/coder, Dexter!

And wouldn't ya know, he already plays WoW too!

To help mommy keep track of his activity through the pregnancy I gave her a handy PHP script. A simple Android client allowed her to keep track of kicks on the go.
