TVShows [via] subscribes to torrent feeds and automatically launches your BitTorrent client to download new TV show episodes as soon as they are available (it’s an OS X alternative to the cross-platform, but windowsy, ted).
It’s got a simple, convenient interface (just type the title of a show you’re interested in, select in and click “subscribe,” then choose whether you want to start downloading an episode from the list or just wait until a new one is released — clever) and one of the most puzzling designs I’ve ever seen in such a simple app: even though there’s a green bubble saying “Enabled” in the status bar, you’ve got to quit the application in order for the daemon to start working and downloading stuff. I only realized that after 24 hours.
Reminder: management recommends Transmission as a companion BitTorrent client.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
