Long Awaited Release of the WordPress-SMF Bridge 0.2!
Nov 23rd
For those of you using this plugin, the long-awaited 0.2 release has been made today. It has only been tested in a development environment and may have bugs. For anybody wishing to report bugs do not do it here! Instead, please go to the Google Code page (http://code.google.com/p/wp-smf-bridge) and do so there. My response to questions here will be severely delayed. Please use Google Code and the Google Group created for this plugin. Thank you all for your support!
WP-SMF-Bridge is a simple user registration and logon bridge between WordPress and Simple Machine Forum. To get this working, it is highly recommended that you have a fresh, unmodified install of SMF 1.1 or higher installed and running. To install the plugin, either use WordPress’ built-in plugin installation features, or visit the Google Code page for more information.
LANRails Website and now Unified Logins!
Oct 28th
So, with my slated date for LANRails’ beta launch (scheduled for this weekend – hopefully I can hit the date), I figured it was about time to set up an actual webpage for it. So, feel free to go to the new LANRails website: http://lanrails.jonnyfunfun.com/. LANRails will hopefully be fully functional by the weekend, and if so will be posted up on the LAN69 website (www.lan69.com) to run the signups and pre-registrations for my first LAN party since the purchase of the new house, scheduled for the second weekend in December.
Also coming with the LANRails website is unified logins! When you create a user on either the base website, or on the LANRails website, or any website part of my network (hereon dubbed the RicePaddy Network), you will be able to use that username and password amongst all of the websites! So, if you have registered here on my personal site, your username and password combination will work on the LANRails website and vice-versa. They’re also the same for the forums, which are active on the LANRails site.
Beginning my iPhone development…
Sep 18th
Well, I’ve finally broken down and done it. I’ve replaced my Windows desktop with a Mac, and now I’ve been sucked in to the realm of iPhone development. So if anybody has been wondering why it’s been a while since I’ve made a post – it’s because I’ve been spending my time working, being with the family, and developing for the iPhone. So keep your eyes peeled, because sooner than later, Vault Head Games is going to have a game on the App Store! More details to come soon!
Lots of changes in the pipe, LANRails on github!
Aug 3rd
WOw, so it has been quite a long time since I’ve done anything here – I guess I should probably get off my butt and do something. Well, I am, in fact. Coming up soon there will be a new theme, as well as all of the subdomains using the same WordPress install – you know what that means: unified logins! Yay! So keep your eyes peeled for a new look for the site, as well as a special look for all of those of you who like to follow the cult favorite RicePaddy.org. I will be resurrecting the old RicePaddy theme, though the content will still be the same!
In other news, for LAN party management website software solutions, there’s another player in town – LANRails, your Ruby On Rails solution for managing a LAN party! Visit my LANRails project on github.com if you are interested in it.
And also in other news – there’s a new beer in the primary as of yesterday – a Chocolate Coffee Stout! Keep your eyes peeled on the site for recipes!
MassiveLAN – T-4 days and counting!
Jul 6th
That’s right, there is only 4 days left until MassiveLAN ‘09! Pre-pay is closed, but you can still register on the website and show up at the door to attend this year’s amazing event! Now, for those of you that have been following the development of FilePirate – you might want to know that the beta test of FilePirate at last weekend’s GPA gameday did not happen – it was nowhere near done. And, actually, it still isn’t done – but it will be just in time for MassiveLAN! So come to MassiveLAN, frag your friends, meet new friends, frag them, and use the latest, most advanced piece of file sharing software possible!
FilePirate Alpha Test at GPA’s Gameday
Jun 17th
For those of you who have been following the development of FilePirate – Advanced LAN File Sharing, you will be happy to know that we will be engaging in an alpha test of the application at GPA’s Saturday Gameday this month. The LAN is on Saturday, June 27th at noon, located at the GPA clubhouse in Silver Creek. Those who wish to attend their event should sign-up on their webpage at www.gameplayersanonymous.com‘. If you are going to be attending and wish to help assist in the testing of FilePirate, please let me know ahead of time so that I may get an accurate count and some expectations on testing.
FilePirate and the rebirth of RicePaddy.org!
May 28th
For those of you who have been following the development of FilePirate – Really Advanced LAN File Sharing, you will be happy to know that I will be rolling out an Alpha soon and will be unveiling it at a GPA LAN party sometime next month (exact date TBD). For the time being, FilePirate now has its own website available at filepirate.jonnyfunfun.com.
Also, back by popular demand is the domain ricepaddy.org. For the time being, however, it simply just points you back here to this blog. As I start finishing other projects up, it will be migrated to its own website. What will be on it? No clue. I’m open for suggestions.
WordPress Plugin: WP-SMF Bridge
Mar 23rd
So I finally got off my lazy butt and at least released one of my projects – my very own WordPress and Simple Machine Forum user registration and login bridge. I just committed the first round of code to the WordPress plugins SVN repository, tagged the first release, and it should show up in the WordPress plugins list any minute now. For those of you who use the plugin, want to contribute, need help, or want to let me know of some bugs – feel free to visit the website, which is conveniently a Redmine project page, here. Don’t go peeking around this WordPress blog trying to find it in action, though, because it isn’t here. It’s actually going to be used for a different WordPress website I’m putting up to manage LAN parties I plan on having in my new houses’ garage – provided we ever close on it, but that’s a different story.
We’re Now Live with Gentoo!
Feb 8th
Okay, so I broke down, and got myself that dedicated server. Good news is that I got a coupon code and got it for cheaper than I had thought! So now, we’re running live on a Gentoo Linux-powered dedicated server in some datacenter in Florida. Please note that the Subversion repositories are down, as is the Redmine project management. The Brew Place, and many things Vault Head Games, are also down for the time being. I would have probably gotten the repositories back online tonight before I threw in the towel, but ColdFusion was not being very nice to me and I had some problems in getting isolated instances of ColdFusion running with each Apache virtual host. Needless to say, the Adobe documentation when it comes to Linux is extremely poor. However, after I’m all done with this beast, we will have our own IRC server and a web server that will understand practically every modern, dynamic web language (including (but not limited to) PHP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Python, and Ruby). I’m strapped with time, however, but regardless, I’m working very quickly to get everything back up and running, so check back here often for updates!
