I strictly recommend not to hold off until you get enough amount of money to order different goods! You can just get the mortgage loans or college loan and feel yourself fine

will me running a 64bit version have caused the problem?

running ubuntu 9.10, installation is fine, but when I open Klimb.jar it only loads as far at “cardio engine loaded”, after this, the application freezes?
anyone with a solution for this?
thx!

I do truly like your superior text! Can you accomplish the free term papers for example? Because I do really know that a great essay writing service would create essays of superior quality.

It's not so simply to bring a not bad written essays, preferably if you are concerned. I consult you to notice buy an essay and to be devoid from doubt that your work will be done by custom writing service

[...] Eines der effektivsten Mittel, motiviert zu trainieren, ist für mich ein Trainingstagebuch.Ich selber mache das sowohl vorausschauend (Trainingsplan) als auch im nachhinein (Trainingsprotokoll).Wer dazu eine Software benutzen will (ich mache das in OpenOffice, da ich Trainingsplan und -protokoll auf einen Blick beieinander haben möchte), kann z.B. das englischsprachige Klimb benutzen.Dieses Programm ist ein Tagebuch, in dem man sowohl die gekletterten Boulder (nur V-Grade) und Routen (alle Grade), das Körpergewicht, Kardioeinheiten als auch beliebiges Training (genug Vorlagen vorhanden, die man leicht ergänzen kann) festhalten kann.Das allein wäre jetzt wohl ganz praktisch, aber da die Informationen nun alle digital vorliegen kann man sich mittels des Programms den Verlauf über einen längeren Zeitraum grafisch veranschaulichen und so die eigene Entwicklung auf einen Blick beurteilen.Zu finden unter “Downloads” aufhttp://klimb.com/blog/2006/11/24/making-of-klimb-rock-climbing-training-software [...]

Hi Sergei, I didn’t mean to “offend” anyone :) I just don’t have time to translate things to Russian. Maybe you can? You’re welcome to modify it in any way you like. I’ve posted the source code.

Take care,
Dmitry

Hi,

I wanted to run klimb on my opensuse system but have a problem starting it.

Everytime I start klimb I get the following message and the program hangs up after “Loaded Cardio Panel”:
run:
[java] 29.12.2007 00:35:42 java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$7 run
[java] WARNUNG: Prefs file removed in background /home/dino/.java/.userPrefs/klimb/prefs.xml

(This is from ant, tried to recompile it too)

I’m using java version 1.6 but also tried it wit 1.5, but it won’t work with any of them.
Do you know any solution for my problem?

thanks

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for developing such a good program. I’m using it on my mac and am a complete novice when it comes to tinkering with its gizzards!

I’m trying to expand the grade tables as well, so they go below 17 (Aus grade). I was using pico to find the directories mentioned in the posts above but have had no such luck of even finding grades.java

Is there an alternative method, when using mac?

Thanks!

Hi Dmitry,

I was just googling and came to you wibsite. I must say you have done a great job. I have downloaded “Klimb” and installed it. It works perfectly. Just one question, since it is Java application, I guess it must be able to run on windows Pocket PC but unfortunately I am not able to install it on my pocket pc. Can you please guide me.
cheers.
PS: I am not a programmer.

It won’t run properly from within Eclipse unless you set up all the resources for images, data and library paths. Since you haven’t done that already, I’d just recommend using ant. Please read through the way it initializes home dir and other paths, before running it from eclipse. BTW the new Eclipse is awesome. I used intellij idea for klimb because it was a better IDE at the time. Now I am using Eclipse for java and just about everything else too.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Don’t run ant in lib dir, cd to project home and just type “ant”. Please see ant documentation for building projects.

Hey, I know a little java, and I was able to find and edit the Grades.java file in klimb\src\klimb\journal\climbing\ratings\ but when I try to run the ant.jar file in klimb\installer\izpack\lib it gives me an error about not being able to find the main class. So, instead I then imported the kilmb/src folder into eclipse as a project to compile it, and I get this error:
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

at dvk.util.SwingHelpers.center(SwingHelpers.java:22)
at klimb.KlimbSplash.(KlimbSplash.java:45)
at klimb.KlimbApp.(KlimbApp.java:57)
at klimb.KlimbApp.main(KlimbApp.java:243)

any suggestions would be grateful.

Hey dmitry:
Is this software the same as that available from acmeclimbing.com? I mean, should I just get it from this site, or should I pay the money to get it? I’m assuming there are differences and I’m willing to pay if there are improvements, since you designed it and deserve to be compensated. Just curious what the differences are.

Also, as Rusty asked earlier, is there a way for non-programmers (or people like me that don’t know what the hell they’re doing at all) to change the program to accept routes under 5.9? Thanks.

Hi dmitry

can you help please :))

Hi Steve, thanks for your comments! By reading through my code I am glad your understand why the schema was designed in a certain way. The open source version of Klimb doesn’t include the proprietary strength analysis algorithms and power < -> endurance relations. The “stock” exercises are from my friends, and they are geared towards really strong boulderers (v10+).

I’ve been making my own software over the past year, for tracking my climbing progress. It was nice to actually see how a professional product looks.

Although this is vastly better than what I’ve been able to accomplish as a novice, using Visual Basic, I like my user interface better. Basically, I built mine around a calendar that attempts to plan work out types by Power, Power Endurance, or Endurance, then assign exercises by what it determines are weaknesses. Also, my database of exercise includes technique exercises, stretches, etc.

Nice how your program gives a lot of flexibility to the user though.

Hi all,

I had to rename InstallKlimb.zip to InstallKlimb.jar on my Windows PC. After that, doubleclicking installed the software without a hitch. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dmitry,

I have figured out how to add the grades, thanks. I have also compiled and all works except for the graphs. Even if I put in 5.6 climbs, they show as 5.9. Not a big deal, but a little detail. Also, the default is still the 5.9 when inputing a climb. I am going to look around for something to change these, but I’m sure you could tell me where to look. Thanks!

hey Bence, I edited the post and added instructions section. Check it out. The jar file is kind of like an executable. On your windows box it shows as zip file because jar uses zip-compression. In order to run this file … type ‘java -jar KlimbInstaller.jar’ from the command line. If you don’t wanna do that … reinstall java (JVM), and make sure to get the Sun’s version. Hope that helps, D.

Hi Rusty, if you have some programming experience, it could be done within a few minutes:

There is a java class called “Grades.java”. It has a table of all the grades and their corresponding grades in other grading systems. All you have to do is prepend another row to it.

After you done, you’ll need to recompile the project by running “ant”.

By: Rusty

Rusty — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 20:09:12 +0000

Is there any way to make the grading on the YDS to go lower than 5.9. There are many really good longer routes that go the whole range of grades. Other than that the program looks really good.

thanks,
Rusty

Hi Dmitry!

I’ve downloaded the climbing software, and my problem is, that i can’t find an executable program file. there are only info, and other non-executables. i can’t double click on the downloaded program, because it’s a zip file, and i can only look the folders in it! can you help me, how to install this program? (i have java istalled on my pc)
thanks!
