Ultimate Edition » Linux

Better late then never…

I have started writing a F.A.Q. For Ultimate Edition users. Spending the time to write web pages does not rate very high in my list of priorities.

The link is in the bar above or here. I am sure I have many errors to correct please feel free to comment on them in this post.

TheeMahn,

I have been humbled…

TheeMahn — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:07:20 +0000

I have had people hammer me for being human. I should only post Ultimate Edition related material here or thus I have been told. I will not get into the details. Last time I checked this is my blog. Please allow me to backpedal and correct myself, who makes UE? This is my website w/o admin / testers we would be nothing, the same goes in hand the end user. This is where the humbling comes in place. Mr. Breeg and I went to a concert in Detroit Michigan this weekend, Clarkston to be 100% correct, an Iron Maiden concert. I physically got to see 11,000 people at one time, an eye awaking experience to me. We see greater then twice that everyday here, I am using the lowest number possible called “Uniques”, I was a Unique. I have never seen Iron Maiden prior.

Physically seeing 11,000 people has really changed the way I feel, you may think I am blowing smoke. I am out for your best interest, but do not possess the time to make all users happy & perhaps bothers me more then seeing 11,000 people. Most like to brag and say I seen 4 million hits last month, I am now the opposite. Thanks most of all to you & Mr. Breeg for opening my eyes. I live in front of a computer.

I am your humble servant.

TheeMahn,

Sourceforge & IRC

Sourceforge has interviewed me and dropped a post on their blogs homepage. Thanks, Lee Schlesinger & Sourceforge.

I have had many suggestions for setting Ultimate Edition on IRC. That said…

IRC or Internet Relay Chat has been around for years, actually around before instant messaging services. This has been set up as an option to get instant answers. Who will be there to help you?
Who knows. It will depend on what time of day it is. At first the amount of users will be low. Users are encouraged to help other users. I as well as other Admin can not be there 24 / 7. Do we promise to answer everything? No. We certainly can’t do that – though we will try. In most cases you will be redirected to a possible solution. You can just watch or “idle”, but if you participate, help please don’t hinder the work going on there.

I have been trying to hold off on this post. We may soon have our own IRC network. Before I commit resources, I would like to see if it is worth investing the time & money. This will allow you to chat with Ultimate Edition devs & other UE users. We may not stay here, but I want to give all users the chance to see what it is all about. I am providing 2 options to get there, KVirc is an IRC client built into virtually all Ultimate Editions. You are not limited to using just KVirc, there is Xchat, and many others. Mirc for you windows users. If you wish to learn about IRC, information overkill can be read here. Specific Information on freenode here.

Option #1:
Open your terminal (Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal) & paste the following.

kvirc irc://irc.freenode.org/UltimateEdition

Option #2:
Web based chat.

Hopefully by Ultimate Edition’s 2.8 final release it will be defaulted, preset & fully customized UE style. I hope to catch you on there.

TheeMahn,

Welcome aboard Beta Testers !!!

Ultimate Edition 2.8? How? It has been discussed and is now a reality, This is not for the everyday user. You can read more about it here.

Enjoy, TheeMahn

Open Testing?

TheeMahn — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:27:56 +0000

Open beta testing is being run by admin & mods. I want everyone to know should this happen, you can expect problems as with any alpha / beta release. In the past we have only released stable releases. I have already uploaded a alpha 1 of Ultimate Edition 2.8 x64 (built off Ubuntu Maverick Meercat 10.10), it will be released to admin, mods and beta testers later today. If it is decided to open the flood gates, I will come back and drop another post expect a few days maybe a week (still have to build x86 and upload it). How about a sneak peak…

Screenshots:

The theme etc. is not set in stone. What do you guys think of the idea, any comments good or bad are appreciated.

TheeMahn,

Ultimate Edition 2.7

TheeMahn — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 20:27:12 +0000

Yes, it has been released. I suggest you grab it before Distrowatch picks up on it

Enjoy,

TheeMahn

Oops, this is embarassing ;)

It gets the best of us, currently our forum is witnessing technical difficulties. Seems to be Mysql or a PHP based issue. I have began addressing the issue personally. I would much rather be building Ultimate Edition 2.7. I would at the same time like to thank you donors & ensure it has 0 to do with hosting issues, I have used the money to pay for domains, hosting and hardware as promised. This will be the be the fourth time I have had to stop doing my job to fix other issues not related to me. I have been gone for four days painting my fathers house and would not have even realized the issue is there without JohnnyG having me on speed dial

On a lighter note. We have been quite successful in moving our way up the chain. I have made a few adjustments that will ensure our success, but won’t comment on. We have good people in house, does anything else matter? Please try and be patient with me just backing up the entire forum prior to trying to fix issues is a heavy undertaking.

Work with me please,

TheeMahn

Gamers

TheeMahn — Sun, 23 May 2010 22:07:44 +0000

We have released a Gamers edition in the past, we now have Ultimate Edition 2.6 Gamers and a page for the releases. Bnjamin_breeg built them both x86 & x64, you can read more about that on the page.

I hope to catch you on our gaming server, for a little Urban Terror beat down

Ultimate Edition 2.7 it will be some time before you see a release. I still have a few bugs to squash.

Short and to the point…

TheeMahn — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:45:25 +0000

I thought I would shed a bit of the wealth and info on what is coming…

Released to Admin / mods & beta testers today (The theme is what I refer to, Ultimate Edition 2.6 alpha was released sometime ago), sorry I can not show you the Plymouth boot splash, I need a slower comp I will provide the theme as well as source when finished. A lucid with normal buttons? I seen all the complaints of what they attempt to do. This time I will step in.

Bug (look at the comments) & my theme (min, max etc on the left)?
Bug I think not as launchpad says it, will change when I am done. I have seen a ton of ppl complaining, they call it a feature Don’t get me started with XSplash. Last time I checked I am not running a mac; linux users? You do not know how many times I have clicked trying to minimize or close a window only to find it maximized. They do not care how many do the same. I will rectify the situation. Things can get progressively worse. This is currently a hobby to me. Soon to be mainstay. Ask me the same 2 years from now. Certainly 100 programmers should excel above me.

TheeMahn,

Well, now let’s learn

TheeMahn — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:37:55 +0000

On like Donkey Kong, perhaps I seem old school. Learn from your new Master. People get squeamish thinking talking to thousands at a time sorry for the delay. He has full intentions of fully encompassing the load. I intend to allow all admin to drop posts here. How many do you think accept the job? Puts the knot in the belly.

I look forward to wiping you all out on a little urban terror. Then again what do I know? Did I have a speech class? I may shortly be attending college (a piece of paper, and maybe I can educate the professor). Should you not know TheeMahn? I have large fish to fry. We also have Admin on board, let them speak their mind & I am talking here. It is coming. Millions at a time, billions I do not care, should they? I spent time setting up the server, don’t think you wont see me whacking you on there. Then again how many servers do we have? Get me out of the Lime light, they can have it. I prefer to sit behind the scenes and give you Ultimate Edition 2.6, do not think it will not be fully tested. I know my job & I do have many.

TheeMahn,
