Geekie.org Launched!

This post has come a little later than it should have, but that can hopefully be excused due to the excessive amount of work we all have had in the last week.

Not only has Geekie.org been successfully launched and promoted on time - starting March 1, 2007 - but we have also set up a number of services to go along with this new site. As previous posts here have revealed, we have the new Geekie.org Apps suite, composed of e-mail, calendar, docs & spreadsheets, instant messaging, and personalized start page. These services have been installed and ready to go, at no cost, and may be requested now by either posting a comment or replying to the appropriate thread in the Geekie.org Apps forum on FreddyWare Forums.

And that brings us to the next new service, being the newly re-established FreddyWare Forums on the same domain as this blog. Accessible at http://www.geekie.org/forums/, the new FreddyWare Forums site runs on the open-source, free, Simple Machines Forum software, and is considerably easier to use and maintain than previous forums we have attempted to create. This time, there will not be a FreddyWare Army System multiplayer game, but rather an arcade integrated into the forums which has - at the moment - 82 Flash games!

FreddyWare@School has already published an article relating to the release of Geekie.org, Geekie.org Apps, and the FreddyWare Forums. I welcome you to our rapidly expanding network of sites, and hope that you will join us. (Unfortunately, user authentication can no longer be integrated as it once was with FreddyWare@School, FreddyWare Forums, and Articles Base!. I am devising of a manual synchronization method which will copy the usernames, e-mails, and encrypted passwords from one database to the other, allowing users to sign in with the same set of credentials; however, it will not be single sign-on like Windows Live ID, Google Accounts; Geekie.org Apps can not be included in this new authentication method, as it has its own single sign-on platform powered by Google.)

Oh - in addition to the authentication problem above; if you don’t mind assisting us by reducing the amount of work we need to do, please register on this site, FreddyWare Forums, FreddyWare@School, Geekie.org Apps, and Articles Base! (not yet active), with the same set of credentials (username, password, e-mail). This helps us keep track of our members, and reduces the amount of work I would have to do in manually creating the users. Thanks.
