CommentJust a bunch of "HotAir"
(Tue, 20 May 2008 11:26:51 PDT)I have started a new project that goes along with Kwadrix Gamers Edition. It's called HotAir. It's somewhat of a clone of Valve Software's Steam. HotAir allows you to download Free Games for Linux, and possibly Windows and/or Mac OSX in the future.
So far these games will be First Person Shooters, but I will be adding other multiplayer games to the mix.
Features (will) include:- News
- Game Launcher
- Game Downloader
- Chat
- Friends List (with game status)
You can see a screenshot of the development version GUI here: http://hotair.kwadrix.com/Screenshot-HotAir.png
CommentKwadrix Imager Edition
(Wed, 19 Mar 2008 20:25:03 PDT)I've volunteered to help a new local game center Image their computers so they have the same patches, fixes, games, etc on each of their systems. This is how Kwadrix Imager Edition was born.
I wanted an easy way to run PartImage on several machines at once. I was going to use Knoppix to do this with, but we imaged the drives using clonezilla that had a newer version of partimage than what Knoppix came with. I figured there would be an easier way to do this, so after searching and not finding exactly what I was looking for, I stopped.
I took a version of Xubuntu and stripped out all of the desktop apps and added Partimage from Ubuntu 8.04 so I would have the latest version. I've added DHCP and PXEBooting to the CD and now it will boot clients from a LiveCD Server.
Of course this has delayed me on working on Kwadrix Gamers Edition, but I should be back to work on it Monday March 24th. Ubuntu 8.04 Beta comes out on the 20th so I will need to start working on upgrading KGE to the new version of Ubuntu that should come next month.

DRMs are often designed by ambitious, well-funded consortia, with top-notch engineers from every corner of the industry. They spend millions. They take years. They are defeated in days, for pennies, by hobbyists." - Cory Doctorow, Guardian Unlimited Tuesday, July 31, 2007
