Wurmd move from Google code to Github

Just in case anyone besides me would actually be using it: I've moved wurmd from Google Code, which has been deprecated for quite some time, to Github. https://github.com/timdingo/wurmd.

On waking up computers

Introducing something I've been working on: http://code.google.com/p/wurmd/

"Wurmd tries to solve the common problem when using Wake-On-Lan on your server/desktop/fridge/... that once it's asleep it has to be woken up again, which usually is a manual operation the user has to perform. Having the device go to sleep isn't the problem but having to fire up an additional program to wake the device back up can become a PITA after some time.

The logical next step would be to incorporate WoL functionality into programs itself, but that's hardly feasible. Sure, you may get the XBMC crew to write code so if a file share isn't online it'll automagically sends a WoL packet, but that's limited to XBMC, right? What if you want to access your file server at home from your favorite file explorer but it's asleep again?

Wurmd is a standalone program that listens on an interface in the background for initial connections to your configured devices. If it detects such a connection it'll send a WoL packet to the device to wake it up. What this means, practically, is that as long as wurmd is running on the host you can use any program to make a connection with a sleeping device and wurmd will wake it up. Your program probably won't even know what happened.

Binaries are available for both x86_64 and Raspberry Pi's architecture, ARMv6. Packages for various Linux distributions are forthcoming and I might even build an OSX binary."

I guess it's not ready for prime-time yet and there's hardly any error-handling, but it's functional.
I've been running it on my laptop and on my OpenELEC Raspberry Pi for some time now and I quite like it; YMMV.
