Leaving Suelake.com

Hello, as you can see at Suelake.com, I’m stopping to maintain Suelake.com or the software behind it and can’t be held responsible for it anymore.
I’m doing this because I kinda feel threatened by the emails that Sulake Oy, the company behind Habbo and other multi user games, keeps sending us. I don’t think that it’s [...]

Just Cause 2 Demo

You can download the demo of Just Cause 2 for PC at Steam now, it’s 1.2GB. I downloaded and played the demo yesterday and I loved it. In this game, you take on the role of some kind of guerilla guy (?) named Scorpio and you have to wreak havoc to government property on a [...]

Notebook For College

As we speak I’m downloading Ubuntu 9.10 (Desktop, x86) for installing it at an old notebook laying around here. Even though I have used Ubuntu before (back in 2007 or so), I would like to see what it’s like now. Since I’ll be (hopefully) going to college in September of this year, I’ll need a [...]

Habbo Hotel V1 (Project Waldkorn)

Yeah Dominic (Myrax) & me thought it would be cool to put Waldkorn online again. Waldkorn is a modification of the Java server that runs Suelake.com (V5), but it’s modified so it works with the Habbo V1 client. (first version of Habbo Hotel, 2001)
It’s the most complete V1 server ever written, so if you love [...]

Future Projects

It’s time for another post! This time, it’s about my future projects.
As most of you know, I’m kinda done with Habbo server emulation – it was alot of fun and has taught me great things. It also taught me that a good concept combined with a good technical realization of it makes a great service/product. [...]

The return of Suelake.com

A few days ago, our beloved Suelake.com private server received an email from Sulake and OVH wanted everything down, including the emulator that was 100% written by us. In order to bring Suelake.com back, we had to stop hosting the item sprites (copyright by Sulake) and only reference to them. We also had to move [...]

Why Habbo?

Today, it’s J-Day 2010. One year ago, at February 12th, 2009, Josh ‘Jeax’ Comery got arrested at his home in Sittingbourne and brought to court later. Accuser: Sulake Oy, the company behind Habbo Hotel. Jeax was the developer of Habbo scripting applications such as Axed 7, which, accordingly to Sulake, did  20,000 GBP damage to [...]

Reinstalling Windows 7

Today I tried to update to the newest ATI Catalyst drivers for my GPU. However… I was instantly reminded of the fact that I can’t install/uninstall with their uninstaller anymore – it crashes silently when I either click ‘Install’ or ‘Remove’ , I think I broke it when I was meeping around with the Visual [...]

Suelake.com?!

As some people have noticed, suelake.com looks down! And yes, it’s indeed down – for now.
If you don’t know what Suelake.com is, well in short it’s a Habbo Hotel private server running with one of the oldest versions of the Habbo client, dating back to 2002/2003. Mike (office.boy) and me wrote a server from scratch [...]
