Progress update

Thursday, January 8th, 2009 by rjm

Here’s what I have done so far to get my development server and workstation ready:

  1. Installed Ubuntu Linux 8.10 on my workstation
  2. Updated the Debian Linux installation on my development server
  3. Installed development tools like Eclipse and Subversion

I tried installing the driver for my Matrox graphics card in my workstation, but it seems that the version of the X Server is too new. So I can either wait for Matrox to release a new version that will be compatible with the newer X Server or downgrade my X Server to a version that the driver does support. Or alternatively, I could just install an older version of Ubuntu all together.

Rebooting the project

Sunday, January 4th, 2009 by rjm

Yes, it’s official! I’m going to continue development on the IRC Collective project. And I am excited and motivated!

But before I  can start writing code again I want to take some time setting up my workstation and server. And I need to do some site maintenance as well, some of the software is outdated or has been disabled due to abuse (SPAM mostly).

Here’s my plan:

  1. Update the Debian Linux installation on my development server
  2. Install Ubuntu Linux on my workstation
  3. Install all the development tools needed on my workstation (Eclipse, Subversion client tools, EPIC and Subclipse)
  4. Mask all the e-mail addresses used on the website
  5. Update software used on the website (forum, bugtracker, etc.)
  6. Re-enable forum and bugtracker
  7. Install (or verify current installation of) IRC Collective on the development server
  8. Create an Eclipse workspace project on the workstation
  9. Check status of the code, compare the todo list and the roadmap
  10. Start having some fun by implementing new features
