A new Job.
by TheeMahn on Oct.04, 2011, under Linux, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
I started a new physical Job Monday, second day of work today up at 4:30am for that purpose. 40 hours a week thank goodness no overtime this week. 4 ten hour days, I believe I have a final solution to what plagues me in Ultimate Edition 3.0. I plan to implement those changes Friday. I don’t like getting peoples hopes up, but perhaps we can have a release this weekend. Cross your fingers. Looks like I may also have an interview for Systems Software Engineer. Where I work currently will get a 2 weeks notice. Sometimes you got to have a job to find a job ๐
TheeMahn,
Gratitude
by TheeMahn on Sep.15, 2011, under Ultimate Edition
I have seen the vestige of my understanding. I have enjoyed Larry err Meister for a term of nothing less then 25 years. This is w/o note what I will enjoy:
Most users ever online were 126, on September 15, 2011 @ 11:36 pm.
We have purchased another website, will it ever end? When I speak I speak solely, not an integer of many sites. I want to congratulate my right hand man for stepping up to the plate. He has taken on his job unlike any other. Most get skittish when playing with many. That by they way is based on 5 minutes. Ultimate Edition 3.0 drops what will that number say? As the admin play with UE 3.0, I have since rebuilt it, catch this built on Goliath’s machine, and Meister is the only man to waltz the planet with what could possibly be the final product.
I do not think you caught that, I do not have or run it. Talk to Mr. Breeg about how things roll around here.
Thanks for “Clarification” Meister.
Clarification
by Meister on Sep.14, 2011, under Ultimate Edition
Allow me to clarify the situation with this official announcement Ultimate Edition 3.0 is now beta. The testing team has it and is hard at work making sure that we have a solid stable release coming. Many of you have been with us for awhile now realize that Theemahn post problems and information here to keep you the end-user in the loop. Until now most of his frustration rants have been confined to the forums, you now see why. Thee has stated in a past interview on Souceforge that Ultimate Edition would be on a when it is done it gets released type of schedule.
So 3.0 will be ready once the testers have given it a green light and we are all sure the stability you all know and love is there. Changes are afoot and more information will be released as details are finalized. So what can you the end-user take from all this 1. Thee has not quit. 2. Ultimate Edition is not done by a long shot. and finally point 3. Even Theemahn has his limits and needs to blow off steam. I almost forgot a important point , this is to the Facebook crowd, 3.0 is not a myth follow the forums for screenshots from our testers.
On behalf of the Ultimate Edition team
Meister.
Contemplation
by TheeMahn on Sep.11, 2011, under Linux, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
I wrote a story to our admin, let me be bold in saying my intentions while pure have “Contemplated” hanging up at least one of my jobs. This may grab a few attentive learners. The job I wish to hang up is distro writing. I do not want you to think I am selling you out, I see many an issue & am tired of fixing such said issues. The amount of said issues have plagued me to the point where I not only dislike my job, but other jobs I possess. Sure, I am a programmer & have preached automation of said activities.
I feel my talent would to be best to spend it on automation of one in the same. While most will view this a huge error in my aspect. Rest of assured I shine when allowing me to do as devised comes w/o question. Contemplation is the topic, however stay tuned. Sorry to spew off at the head. I would not have said what I have if it does not come without cause. Let me be blunt, I have tried to not only inform others of issues, but to tell them how to fix them and greeted with cynicism. Hmm, why would I want to quit?
Ultimate Edition 2.6.3
by TheeMahn on Aug.25, 2011, under Linux, Themes, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
Why Ultimate Edition 2.6.3 the 2.6 series is based on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 a Long Term Support (LTS). Please allow me to quote one of our global mods kiwinsn:
Downloaded and installed like a dream….0 issues…I LOVED being able to listen to some USA radio while installing…The Mrs was also impressed…after I told her that usually all the drivers and set up needs to be done before trying to find a station to listen to.
Top marks once again, TheeMahn…I can only wonder at what we have in store if you can dropkick Unity into space….
Cheers
A little update on Ultimate Edition 3.0 progress, one of the things that was holding me back is Natty uses GTK3, so a new theme was in order:
Nothing is set in stone at this point. Please stay tuned. Only local beta testers have it at this time.
Without further a do. Enjoy Ultimate Edition 2.6.3, you can read more there.
A new Toy?
by Meister on Aug.17, 2011, under Linux, Programming, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
Something Theemahn has been working on for Ultimate Edition 3.0, He thought he would let you try it ahead of time. We have purchased a website for it. Your feedfback is appreciated.
Any Gamers in the house?
by TheeMahn on Aug.12, 2011, under Gamers, Linux, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
I would like to announce the release of Ultimate Edition 3.0 Gamers. It is built off Ultimate Edition 3.0 Lite to provide the maximum room for more games like 21 blitz. This is not a major distribution as Ultimate Edition 3.0 will be is intended with one purpose in mind and that is GAMES!!! You can read more about that here.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome aboard our new Editor Meister, he by the way wrote the Ultimate Edition 3.0 Gamers page. Artwork complements of Cowboy. I hope to catch on a server perhaps we can battle it out.
Enjoy,
TheeMahn
Ultimate Edition 3.0 Lite
by TheeMahn on Aug.02, 2011, under Gamers, Linux, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
Well ladies and gents we now have Ultimate Edition 3.0 Lite. Please do not make this into what it is not. This is a lite edition made for computers with low resources. It is in no way even close to what the non lite Ultimate Edition 3.0 will be. This is specifically designed for computers with low resources IE notbooks etc. You can read more about that here.
Just a heads up Ultimate Edition 3.0 Gamers is being tested. I used lite as the base of the build why? Mr. Breeg and I were chewing the fat on my intentions with Gamers Edition, he asked if I was going to strip apps from Ultimate Edition 3.0 to make room for games. A bell went off why strip apps when we have a lightweight O/S with the bare essentials. Makes tons of room for games & what is the purpose of gamers? Let’s play some games ๐ Screenshot and artwork courtesy of Cowboy. The list of games is too big for me to fit in one screenshot is the end result ๐
Enjoy,
TheeMahn
No rest for the wicked ;)
by TheeMahn on Jul.21, 2011, under Gamers, Linux, Programming, Themes, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
Take everything as a grain of salt. I have built Ultimate Edition 3.0 lite nothing short of 50 times today. I love building lite, why some may ask? Because I can build it 50 times in a day ๐ Errors that show up here I quickly smash and move on to the next build & task at hand. Repomaster has handled a great majority of them for me. 0 research just know errors are gone with 0 effort, awesome tool & it is far from done. I should be focusing on it not the distro.
I know I too am like a kid in a candy store, where is Ultimate Edition 3.0 already? Well same goes hand in hand, you will not have Repomaster in 3.0. I have had literally a ton of obstacles in my path on Ultimate Edition 3.0’s production. I have re-opened Donations, I do not want to openly explain why I shut them down in the first place for the past 4 or 5 months. I thank all those that have donated & would appreciate a continuation in this department. I have my work cut out for me. Non lite x86, x64 and gamers as such. I am hoping to have Repomaster integrated in Ultimate Edition 3.1, then you will understand what all the “HOOP LAH” was for. Well you deserve a peek right? JohnnyG’s work @ least wallpaper all is subject to change ignore my current theme. Cowboy has some nice graphical handywork also being considered, so all may change:
3 AM, no rest for the wicked ๐ Let me handle software. I am somewhat oblivious to eyecandy. The military gave me a 3.9 eval of 4.0 why? I lack attention to detail. We have others that handle that department. Once set as a service 1 build eliminate human intervention & errors melt away.
TheeMahn,
Let’s go for a ride…
by TheeMahn on Jul.15, 2011, under Linux, Programming, Ubuntu, Ultimate Edition
I am in much better place as far as a computer & yes very much still alive. Space has always been an issue with me, 8.1 TB, we do not count SSD’s and raptors in house issues now gone. I have been prompted to drop my project at hand to make a lite again & bring UE 3.0 to light. The project I had at hand was an eye opener to nix users (note the service switch), we are in no hurry right? I like the lite, light I refer to. Please do not impede me, I understand my job. We are not here to rush in as some others right? I have your back.
Wait until you see what I have in store for you ladies and gents. I try to think outside of the box. Work with me please. You will see that later.
TheeMahn,
