Welcome to Wizzup.org¶
My name is Merlijn (Boris Wolf) Wajer; born in Amsterdam, 16 December 1990 I am 20 years old and currently attend the University of Amsterdam.
Blog¶
My blog can be found at http://blog.wizzup.org I try to post there regularly, but so far it hasn’t worked out. The blog is powered by PWBlog.
Projects¶
Some of my projects will be quickly covered here, all my other small projects can be found on my git hosts, git.wizzup.org and my Github account.
Projects I participate in:
Projects I have started:
SRL¶
SRL is the first project I ever participated in and it has mainly been the base of my current programming knowledge. SRL was initially a library created to macroing a game called Runescape, but has since turned into a community full of interesting people, talented programmers and generally cool fruitcakes. The library still works, by the way. SRL has lots of Scripts that each perform their own task on Runescape.
Simba¶
SRL is interpreted by a program called Simba, created by members of the SRL community. Simba. Simba can perform many kind of tasks, including faking mouse movements and key presses, finding bitmaps and colours and reading text from the screen.
Simba is GPL-3 licensed and Open Source and Free Software.
Simba running on my old Linux distribution, Ubuntu Linux.
SRL-Stats¶
SRL-Stats was created to keep track of the progress and use of SRL. SRL Scripts can gather statistics from their actions and submit them to SRL stats.
Currently the most popular script has ran for 954 days, 8:49:00 with 154756 individual commits., which is pretty impressive.
The SRL Stats website as on http://stats.villavu.com. The design was taken from some free templates site, as I stink at web design - at least for now.
An example of a graph generated by SRL stats, this is of the fifth month of 2011.
πϱTorrent¶
πϱTorrent is a web interface to rTorrent. It was written in Python because I got so fed up with all the crappy PHP interfaces and generally just PHP being crappy.
It is still work in progress, but it can do some basic stuff like list and add torrents, connect to multiple rtorrents at once, manage users, basic login authentication.

Login screen.
Oh, and πϱTorrent is really fast compared to any of the PHP web interfaces.
PWBlog¶
More details will be available later.
Distributed Chat System¶
DCS was an assignment for the University of Amsterdam, we had to form groups and implement a chat protocol similar to IRC. Our implementation ended up being quite cool, with only one known bug. One that we’ve never bothered to fix, though.

Teaching¶
I have been an assistant in some courses at the University of Amsterdam.
Contact¶
You can contact me by mailing me (merlijn) at this website; wizzup.org. (I’m sure you can construct my email address by now, if you’re a human anyway.)
Other Hobbies¶
I like messing around with Linux. In particular I’ve had a lot of fun with my sheevaplug(s) running Gentoo Linux. As for sports; I’ve been practicing Aikido since I was a child, with a few TODO pauses.
