You might have noticed that the word finished was in quotes in my previous post. This was on purpose, and anyone who is a hacker (or a perfectionist, with, say, deadlines) will know why and roughly the content of this post. Ninrename (which is a terrible name that is more and more nondescript of the programs capabilities) has been expanded upon quite a lot in the past week (or two). Features are being added left, right, and center, and the desire is there to make it actually very good and not just a one off.

Just "finished" hacking together some code that started out as a small desire and has ended up an obsession of sorts. Initially, it was just going to be a smart, specialized file renamer. It has ballooned into a poorly written (but fairly solid) beast of a program with crc checking and unrar/zipfile support. When I say it's poorly written, I mean it's not beautiful like my xdccq module is, for instance. It isn't elegant in the least, does things in a way that is acknowledged as poor design decisions, and the main dispatch is a giant ugly conditional mess. But it works pretty well!
