Lets work things up.
by TheeMahn on Feb.22, 2012, under Ultimate Edition
I took the time to download ~200 GB of info from our server thinking an issue on my end. Travis excuse if I chopped your name from hostgator ensured that It was on my end the script was wp super cache. I had removed and re-installed it. Sent to me on the 9th. I am used to getting the hammer. I took the time to lamp up UE and was not an issue. So I contacted. Those issues are behind us now.
Lets move on to larger issues, Ultimate Edition 3.0.1 x86 has been dropped. Damn a 2.6.5 resides there.
I will come back and address issues at hand. Wow; a new Ultimate Player also resides, programming I have been a busy beaver, just wait until you see it.
Glad to be back up,
TheeMahn
Speed is of the essense

I have many projects in hand. Ultimate Edition 3.01 as I have announced and released at least admin side, has been met with scrutiny. I love our admin, not afraid to nit pick. I ordered a few toys out of pocket to accelerate my job a couple SSD’s:
Hmm, no 64 bit Ultimate Edition 3.01 or 3.0 for that matter It is in works utilising as a tool admin feedback. Please sit tight. I have a few other things I will upload simultaneously. The screenie shows 2.6.4 does that exist? 2.6.5 has been produced. Like I said sit tight. A gig a second when I ask my computer to get things done won’t be long.
I want you to think in this way, if they did not scrutinise you would have crap. Delay is a welcome delay. Thank you 50+ admin.
TheeMahn,
Happy bday to you?

Today is my birthday. I thought I’d share a little gift with you. It will be uploading this eve.
Night and day difference 3.0 v/s 3.01. Hopefully after the admin, mods and testers run it through the ringers we will have a release.
TheeMahn,
Advancing your O/S.

I know it has been a long time since my last post. I would like to take the time to give you an update on what I am doing / trying to accomplish. I wrote a small wireless article on facebook of a "case study" I was trying to conduct. Well now, not a good idea; before I could even buy the product to begin testing personally they were bought up virtually Internet wide. Come to find out Facebook picked up my article and made it into a "Sponsored story". Luckily my sister has allowed me to use the one she bought so testing resumed. Needless to say, I will not publish an article until I have the product in my hand. I have advanced wireless support traumatically in what I will be re-releasing as Ultimate Edition 3.0. Why 3.0 and not 3.1?
The last build of Ultimate Edition 3.0 was a conjunction and build by multiple people. No pun intended, but I am a perfectionist by nature and was not satisfied with the product at hand. I am running it now and is night and day from what Ultimate Edition 3.0 was. It has not been released to any beta tester but one. I’m hoping to change that this Friday. I have rebuilt the entire O/S from the ground up and have a few minor issues that I will be addressing prior to releasing to administrators, mods and beta testers. I have new hardware for testing and will be ordering more Friday. I am hoping to have a 100% successful release soon. I personally apologize for releasing what I feel was shoddy and incomplete work. I have also been spending time programming, so you may have a few new toys to play with upon release.
I do want to welcome aboard BlackWolf as our new "Main" forum total admin. One less job for me, thanks Blackwolf. I suppose we will call what I release Ultimate Edition 3.01, there will not be a 3.02, even though I have a 2.64 also unreleased.
TheeMahn,
Compounding Factors…
by TheeMahn on Dec.14, 2011, under Hosting, Linux, Ultimate Edition

Pounding is more like it. Traffic and spam have had their toll on Ultimate Edition websites, traffic from the new release and now onto the spam. I have personally stepped in to combat the spam issue. Spam bots have ran a muck on our forum. I have not cleaned up the spammers, however I have put a stop to new ones rolling in the door. Admin will have their hands full for some time, sorry I can’t be of more assistance I have more pressing matters. I will be dropping a few phone calls to assist in education, best I can offer at this time. I want to thank everyone for blowing up my phone. I thought the world was ending. No Ultimate Edition Main and the forum is DOWN!!!!!! lol
The techs at hostgator are top notch, and offered optimization tips for main as well as the forum. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please be patient as we take out the trash.
TheeMahn,
Thanks everyone…

I would like to thank everyone for multiple things.
- Users, without you none of this would have been possible.
- Donators, we have hosting paid through the first quarter of next year. Without you we would not have websites.
- Beta Testers, Admin & mods. Without you, I would be totally bald from pulling out my hair. π
- Sourceforge for eating the tremendous bandwidth.
We have seen records in traffic and quite the rise in position on distrowatch:
According to Sourceforge 67,102 GB (thats not a typo) of transfer in just Ultimate Edition 3.0 over 19,000 downloads @ 3.5GB at the time of this post.
I intend to do a much better job in Ultimate Edition 3.1; I will have the time thanks to the holidays to finally spend. π
Thanks again,
TheeMahn
Good things come to those who wait…

Sorry for the great delay in release of Ultimate Edition 3.0. I have been plagued with both physical and emotional trauma, you can rest assured a snowball effect is about to transpire. I have built UE 3.1 (still needs some work) & our dev team has developed 3.2, just waiting for me to drop Ultimate Edition 3.1. Time is a commodity that I have not had on my side. I may soon get some time off for the holidays and perhaps change that.
Ultimate Edition 3.0 is unlike any previous release. Ultimate Edition 3.0 was built from Linux Mint 11 "Katya", which in itself was built from Ubuntu Natty 11.04. I hope I did not lose anyone there π A slew of issues have been resolved. I have dubbed this release ULTAMINT. It is a real piece of eye-candy & has a comprehensive software package. I have included repositories from Getdeb, Ubuntu and Linuxmint. If there is something missing you just can’t live without, just a few clicks of a mouse away. On behalf of the UE Dev team please enjoy Ultimate Edition 3.0.
TheeMahn,
Happy vets day.

I am a vet of Desert storm / operation provide comfort era. Today I went to work my Saturday, had a fella that bought the shop dough-nuts & never served, however appreciation was there he bought them. Well a twist to a situation, today i worked and assumed I would do the same tomorrow. The foreman told me if I tossed out a ton of parts I would not have to work Saturday. Well the joke is on me none of them do. They all knew I was oblivious to the situation, why play a joke on TheeMahn? What comes around goes around right? What fire me so I can look for a real job? lol. Hard to drop apps on a Saturday, does not mean I can not adhere to the situation at hand. I have bought a few toys
I bide my time, perhaps a day off is all I asked for; a little global impact.
No, I am not dead.

Wow, what a turn of events. A job a good thing right? Been there 5 weeks 4 of which mandatory overtime including my first week there. Sure Friday no problem, get you there Friday tell you we need you Saturday as well. I am going to blow off a little steam. 4 ten hour days what I signed on for sure occasional overtime. 4 of 5 mandatory. Lets analise the situation 40 hours a regular week of work right? Sure I have it out of the way in 4 days. Does not my Friday become most ppls Saturday? Time and a half great O.K. Now we need you Saturday, my Sunday double time not a chance. Work you those kind of hours and not pay. 60 hrs a week, I am sure I have ample time to drop 3.0 When I have only one day to myself do you think I should make it a UE day?
Sorry like I said blowing off steam,
TheeMahn
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 π
TheeMahn,
