We installed the web based GPL bugtracker mantisbt yesterday, which offers anonymous access to bug reporters and viewers. Although we would really like it if you could find the time and register, you are by no means required to do so. If you happen to use any of our opensource software, which is distribute via geek\o/sphere.org or teranetworks.de, please inform us if there are any bugs by using the new bugtracking system. The bugtracker can be found in the linksection “Also …”, the direct link is https://bugs.geekosphere.org/. The development teams will not respond to any emails, containing bug information any more.

This is the script we use to backup files located on this server. The script packs and compresses the backups on demand and sends them to the backup ftp server, that is located in the computing centre of our provider (the backup server can be configured of cource :P). Users of this script are able to create different backup routines by keeping multible config files. Refer to the included README file on how to use the backup script. If you encounter any bugs please report them to our new BUGTRACKER.

When I tried to install xMind for a friend today I realized that xSetup.tcl was completly broken (6+ bugs), well I fixed all bugs, the script should work again now. As the dailybuild did not seem to be the best way to distribute new versions any more, I decided to create a stablebuild, that will only be packed if all changes seem to work properly. Get the stable build here.

Today we as a group had to present the TickleJack projekt to a rather bored classroom, we were the last people to present and it was already late so noone really listened I recon. Anyways, the project’s page has been online for quite some time and I can not recall that there has been an announcement on geek\o/spehere so far. TickleJack is a multiplayer BlackJack cardgame (client / server model), which is kinda based on the Battleships system, some parts of the Battleships code are reused but due to the fact that TickleJack is the second game developed using the client/server model, improovements are made, in order to increase code and usability.

TickleJack is an ITP project for the Technikum Wien and therefore there are loads of planning documents (including meeting protocols, a project plan and presentations), everything can be found here. The project is released under the terms of the GPL V2 the sourcecode can be downloaded from the project dir.

Our team:
Markus G. (Project leader)
Matthias W. (Client design)
Patrick S. (Server design)
