Debian popcon statistics for gitstats
November 21st, 2009
Who said you can’t know how many Debian users are there for a given package? 
The popcon installations for gitstats seem to be up to 100 at the moment (package rank 17712 – my unstable installation claims to know 28085 normal packages). Out of those, 23 users actually use it actively.
Now if there was only a way to scale this up by knowing how many % of Debian users have the popularity-contest package installed… 
gitstats packaged in Debian unstable
September 12th, 2009
gitstats has been packaged for Debian by Vincent Fourmond, and is now in unstable. As far as I know, this is the first of my projects that made it into Debian.
$ apt-cache search git statistics gitstats - statistics generator for git repositories
So, who’s going to debianize ViewGit? Granted, it would be more work, but I think it would have more users too
Encreecia will become Pay to Play
April 1st, 2009
In a somewhat unexpected move (even to me), Encreecia is going be run using “Pay to Play” model in the future. What this means is that the players need to subscribe with a monthly payment – the amount is open at this point.
In the first stage, the aim is to cover costs for a dedicated server hosted by Nebula. If we can’t get enough subscribers to offset the costs, another possibility is selling in-game items and goods for the players. This model has been well-tested in various online games and should prove to be effective.
In the second stage, when the server costs are covered, the plan is to fund the development with the income. This includes graphics artists, background music composers, UI designers, etc. Depending on the amount of money left, I may consider working part-time on the project myself (unlike working on it at evenings on my free time now).
The game will still remain free software in the future. The only change to that is that the Pay to Play server will be always running the newest software, and the free software releases will lag a bit behind that. So you need to subscribe to see all the bells and whistles.
Subscribers will also get priority whenever bugs and in-game issues are being looked into.
More info coming soon…
Update: Note the date
First Encreecia testing round: success
February 8th, 2009
More or less. I got a lot of new ideas & important feedback. Six of us joined:
- Oak
- aGu
- beardy
- Targhar
- eladan
- xeno
There weren’t as many issues as I was expecting (testers might disagree), only major one was a last time change I did and blundered. 
Thanks to everyone!
Released: irssi scripts greplog, nickbar and xdcc-simplequeue
August 11th, 2008
After trying to submit some of my irssi scripts to scripts.irssi.org for months, I figured it would be a good idea to have a public scripts repository run by users, for the users (as it seems the people running irssi.org are busy or don’t care). Maybe it’s just me, but at least the Freenode irssi community seems quite dead. I posted this on the IRC channel:
*** ANNOUNCEMENT *** I’ve started a public git repo for user-submitted and -reviewed scripts at http://repo.or.cz/w/irssi-scripts.git – currently containing only a few scripts of mine, but if anyone has had no luck with scripts.irssi.org and wants to hop on the wagon, /msg me
New project released: Viewgit – a git repository browser
July 3rd, 2008
After two months of development, ViewGit has now been publicly registered and released -after wrestling SourceForge for 3 days until the website area was created.
ViewGit is a git web repository viewer that aims to be easy to set up and upgrade, light on dependencies, and comfortable to use.
Freshmeat announcement is pending (project page). I’ve also posted links to the project homepage at GitWiki Gitweb page, ViewSVN homepage, and ViewSVN news. It’ll be interesting to see how much exposure the project will garner (if any – GitStats certainly didn’t get much, I have received mail from two users regarding it. Oh, and there was a RFP (Request For Package) for Debian, which was promptly dropped with a claim that “upstream seems to be inactive” (AIEEE!).
Visit the homepage for more information and further links.
Piwik plugin for DokuWiki has been released
June 22nd, 2008
Today I wrote and released the first version of Piwik plugin for DokuWiki. Official plugin page is at splitbrain, and fealdia wiki hosts the download.
Hopefully there aren’t any nasty bugs
First four weeks of GA on ViewSVN website
May 26th, 2008
First weeks of Google Analytics data is available for ViewSVN website and provides some interesting insight into the users, even though the number of visits fell down quite a bit after last release in 2007-07.
Google Analytics for externally hosted projects
April 28th, 2008
After seeing that even a simple plugin for another project can draw some hits when linked from a single page, I grew curious and decided to enable Google Analytics for two externally hosted projects: GitStats and ViewSVN.
According to BerliOS statistics, the latter seems to have drawn in 800-1800 hits each month for the last month, so the results should prove interesting. One good thing about Analytics is that it does not track spiders and other non-humans as those usually don’t run javascripts.
I’d really prefer to have this data in my own hands, rather than Google’s, though. Aren’t there any open source replacements for Google Analytics, yet?
