Ultimate Edition » Ubuntu

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,

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

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…

Youtube HQ

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,

Any Gamers in the house?

TheeMahn — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:50:23 +0000

As promised; We have our own dedicated Urban Terror Server up (this was not free) & rocking the house, thanks to finetuch. He will be accepting donations to help absorb the costs involved. You will be able to read his official announcement on his website http://ultimateurbanterror.info in a few days. I have administered the sites to split the server load (7 servers will handle the load overall) to keep ping time down on the gaming server. You can read about that on our forum, you can also learn how to connect to it from there it is fast & would like to give some credit to psybergaming.net

A few things I have learned testing the gaming server… Xfire really has crawled under my skin with their lack of Linux support. 4 years of it, read all 17 pages from there. I won’t leave our gaming users out in the cold. On a lighter note, I have created a newer urban-terror-extra-maps version 0.0.3 those using Ultimate Edition 2.4 Gamers it will automatically be upgraded, it is huge, bigger then the game itself & covers a vast majority of Urban Terror users.

Just so you do not think all I have been doing is playing games, in which I have enjoyed. I have dropped Ultimate Edition 2.6 Alpha to admin, mods and beta testers. It has received a warm welcome. I have also been doing a bunch of hardware work, including upgrading / building (undecided currently) the PC that will eventually build Ultimate Edition 2.6 final, both are fast.

USB 3.0 / Sata III is new technology, while first available for Linux is not w/o issue. With this upgrade allows me to be more productive. I really do not want to get into the details, however the same mainboard / cpu that previously built Ultimate Edition will be auctioned on ebay. Sorry for the amount, Quad Core & Quad Crossfire it is no slouch & quite the gaming rig. Worth $300 probably not; sentimental priceless. Still works like a champ.

I hope to see you on our gaming server.

TheeMahn,

Ultimate Edition Gamers

We have a new gamers; many have been snagging w/o a official announcement (90 ppl before it was even finished uploading), now consider it official. Let me explain what it is.

I took Ultimate Edition 2.4 installed 255 updates / upgrades. I then installed a new theme “Lava”, installed Urban Terror, and a map pack I have written for it.

Well that does not sound like much of a gamers edition does it? Ultamatix will provide you 46 additional games soon to be 49. In case you did not catch that a new Ultamatix is also coming. I can only cram so much on a DVD. Why Urban Terror?

Finetuch is going to pay for a dedicated Urban Terror server so us UE users can beat the tar out of each other You can read and learn more about that here. I look forward to beating a few of you down myself. Please pay close attention to architecture when downloading. I do want to point out I no longer run windows; why? I kept it around for games; I have no use for it anymore. When I am done you will as well.

A few shots for you, note all shots are off a live USB stick:

Sorry to spend an extra day have what will be our urban terror server http://ultimateurbanterror.info. Finetuch is your admin there. I will whack a few of you for sure. A free for all is coming. I can personally unleash stress there. Wait until it is officially set up, you will quickly understand. Sick puppies tells me one of us is going down. I will not accept anything short of a 1 to 1 ratio, I will earn it.

Enjoy ladies & gents,

TheeMahn

Ultimate Edition 2.5

TheeMahn — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:21:16 +0000

Ultimate Edition 2.5

Ultimate Edition 2.5?

What is Ultimate Edition 2.5? Ultimate Edition 2.5 was built off Ultimate Edition 2.4 (Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 based) all upgrades pre-installed as of current. It has KDE, XFCE, and Gnome user selectable at login, 3 new themes and tons of apps. This release is huge obviously bigger then UE 2.4 I am not going to spend my time writing a webpage, but just a post. Even though it is a very worthy release and deserves a webpage. I have alot on my plate in programming and other activities & I do mean alot. It has been out about a week, forum users have been grabbing it left and right.

It took me about a week to get the time to write this post albeit a webpage for it.

Screenshots can be viewed on the forum as well as additional download links. I am going to provide only one dowload link (25 mirrors) on this post from sourceforge; perhaps our bandwidth issues are now a thing of the past & maybe, just maybe I can do my job

Enjoy,

TheeMahn
