Club 100 Hansa: Rooibos vs Dexter
Posted by Pate in News Jul 28th, 2009 | 8 CommentsRooibos and Dexter deuce it out in Club 100 with Hansa (5.5% alcohol per volume).
Halfway (50/100 beer shots)
Rooibos pouring another beer shot, like a pro.
Dexter and Rooibos had the insane idea of mastering Club 100. Of course, knowing what downing beer shots entailed, I immediately refused and instead wrote a small C# application that would play a “drinking sound” every 60 seconds to signal a beer shot to be downed.
At first, 1 minute seems like a long time to wait for the energetic RooiHub developer, Rooibos. But by the time they reach 54 beer shots each, the drinking sound seems to come too soon.

- You need the latest ApexDC++ software or it is not installed properly.
Solution
“I can’t see anyone else on my local RooiHub!”
Posted by Pate in Help, Troubleshooting Jul 27th, 2009 | 12 CommentsCauses
- Windows Firewall is blocking RooiHub communications.
- No one else on your local area network (LAN) is running rooihub.
Solutions
Any one of the following solutions will suffice. Start with the simplest: the first.
- Open the Control Panel in Windows (or run control from the Run prompt). Disable Windows Firewall.
- Create an exception for the RooiHub executable (RooiHub.exe) in Windows Firewall.
- Allow UDP traffic on port 13000 and TCP traffic on port 6667 and 8067 for chat servers.
- Get other people on your LAN to run RooiHub.
“Set of local port bind failed.”

- RooiHub is already running or did not close properly.
- Another application may be trying to use the RooiHub ports (unlikely).
Solutions
- Close RooiHub it by right-clicking on the RooiHub tray icon and selecting Exit.
- If there is no icon, run taskmgr.exe from the Run prompt and end the “RooiHub.exe” task. Run RooiHub again.

Rooibaby. Cutest. Logo. Ever.
Next Update @ 12h00 on 20 July 2009 when Rooibos scores.
Hello boys and girls. It’s the dawn of a new semester, and the twilight of the RooiHub developers’ university careers. For us, this is a special time; RooiHub is growing up, being handed over to a new generation of intellectual misfits who need to watch just one more episode. Like the bunny you left, nurtured with carrots and Californication, to fend for itself in the parkie.
But there is some good news, too: RooiHub is finally moving beyond v0.39.1 with new features!
