A few weeks ago I released my PHP and MySQL link/download tracker. Today I release a complete rewrite. Announcing SHTracker!
To see a working example, simply download from the site as it powers the downloads system.

In the next few months the emesene OS X build is going to change dramatically. The new version will include:
These changes are ready, i am purely waiting for Sparkle to be updated to work with Lion. If you are running Snow Leopard and are interested in beta testing the new version, please contact me.
I’ve been busy.
And another thing: rawr
Due to the hard work of Gabriele “Whisky” Visconti, emesene 2 now has a Qt interface. The interface needs a lot of work, but it is a step toward integrating emesene with OS X. If you want to get the Qt interface working on Snow Leopard, follow the instructions below.
Update: As pointed out by Gabriele “Whisky” Visconti, you will also need GObject and PyCrypto. For instructions on how build/install these see here.
cd sip-x.x.x (Change depending on SIP version) python setup.py make sudo make install
cd PyQt-mac-gpl-snapshot-x.x-xxxxx python setup.py make sudo make install
cd /emesene-emesene-xxxxxx ./emesene -e main:qt4_main
emesene 2 beta is here. MSN works, Jabber works and it is pretty stable. No need for complex hacking of emesene files to run it. Simple drag and drop to install.
Currently sounds are not working and there is no theme at the moment.
Some more pictures…
Interested?
A beta will be available soon. Request to be a beta tester and then check the beta page.
Update:
We have GTK theme engines at last. Currently ClearLooks is included but Murrine and other engines will be included in the future.
I guess you could call this a plea for help…
I am having serious problems getting emesene 2 to run on OS X. Currently Papyon will not work, libpyglib keeps crashing and the menu bar does not work.
Without Papyon, WLM does not work. Rather a large problem in a WLM client.
If you know how to fix any of these problems, please fork the emesene repo and contact me if you manage to get emesene 2 running successfully.
emesene for OS X has now been downloaded over 4,000 times. Well done guys for using emesene and sharing it with others.
For those wondering how to update emesene without downloading the whole package again, there is an easy way of doing it.
You will need git installed!
cd /Applications/emesene.app/Contents/Resources/ && rm -rf emesene git clone https://github.com/emesene/emesene.git cd emesene git submodule init git submodule update
#Add to sys.path so Python can find gtk
sys.path.append("/Applications/emesene.app/Contents/Resources/gtk/inst/lib/python2.7/site-packages")
sys.path.append("/Applications/emesene.app/Contents/Resources/gtk/inst/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0")
sys.path.append("/Applications/emesene.app/Contents/Resources/gtk/inst/lib/python2.6/site-packages")
sys.path.append("/Applications/emesene.app/Contents/Resources/gtk/inst/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0")
To update emesene run:
cd /Applications/emesene.app/Contents/Resources/emesene && git pull
Note: each time you run a git pull you will have to repeat step 3
As many of you probably already know, emesene 2 is under heavy development by the whole of the emesene team. Currently they have come a long way and the client works very well. However they still have lots of features to add and code to polish.
Anyway to the point, it works well on OSX.

If you want to try it, download the Snow Leopard installer from the emesene page here and the replace the emesene app in the applications folder with this.
To update to the latest revisions, pull them from GitHub. Instructions can be found on the emesene website.
REMEMBER: This software is still in the alpha/beta stage and it may damage your system.
Three months ago, i successfully got emesene running on my Snow Leopard install. Since then i have learnt a lot and managed to improve emesene for mac users.
Since February i have:
