tabacco

Also, since they're selling the game on Steam, a certain amount of marketing happens automatically in that the game is in front of new people via the Steam client.

Sure, I'll just upload them as soon asWAIT A MINUTE!

Hey I'm gradually migrating podcast episodes to a new host. I don't think it'll cause anyone's feed reader to panic since only the enclosure url is changing, but if anyone notices anything, let me know.

Hopefully! New dedicated hardware (no more sharing with Adventure Gamers) and new server stack (nginx/php-fpm and the database is all InnoDB now.

Sorry about that. I fixed a duplicate GUID in the feed

I'll do a special while following some ambulances and police cars around so that it feels more familiar.

Yeah, it'll just be a podcast of me eating pizza.

It won't necessarily get you more podcasts, but feel free to send me all the pizza you want

Okay, http://idlemc.com has been moved over to the thumbs server. It's now serving a stripped-down page with just the past epoch downloads. The sixth and most recent is uploading right now, so it'll probably be a few minutes before it's ready to go.

Hey guys, the game server is now offline, and I'll be removing the server VM soon, once I've finished making backups. I'll try to get all the epoch zips up on idlethumbs.net by tonight.

Guys, the end of this linode billing cycle (10/30) is going to be the end of the server. It's also the 1-year anniversary of the server, which seems like a fitting time to end it. The out-of-pocket cost of running the server doesn't really seem like a good use of my money anymore, and we seem to be at the point where there are far more people giving opinions about how the server should be run than there are people actually using the server. And for those who say 1.9 will get people interested again, that's exactly what everyone said about 1.8. And it did, for about a week. I really just can't justify paying $60/month anymore for a server that nobody (myself included, most of the time) is using. I'll make the zips of the previous worlds available on idlethumbs.net after the shutdown. Alternatively, if someone else would like to take over operation of the server, I'm happy to rsync the data wherever you like and show you how to get set up and running. For myself, I'll probably use the reddit creative server at c.nerd.nu for my future minecrafting needs.

That would be me Working down there is hard, since light carries such a short distance once you're at bedrock.

Done!

That's awesome! Is it on the Thumbs server somewhere?

You got it! Looks like I missed you by about a half hour, sorry.

You have to make an account because it's a multiplayer game. So far I haven't really gotten any spam, though I signed up pre-Zynga. My username's tabacco. by the way.

It's this: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/misc-dynmap-v0-22-1-realtime-minecraft-maps-1060.489/ - though it's the prerelease 0.23 build.

Done!

Oh man, glass panes are awesome!

By the way, I'm going to try to have the backup of the 5th epoch up for download either tonight or this weekend (since I'm on the road Friday night)

Oh sorry, that's my fault. Nobody was signed on so I took the server down for a minute to update to the stable CB and Essentials builds. Should just be a couple more minutes. The slowest part is making a backup first Edit: Back up now. Let me know if there are any problems.

Done!

The map should have night mode (as a selectable mode rather than flipping back and forth with the world time) and biome mode available now. If anyone's interested, I can also add average rainfall and/or average temperature maps

Also, hopefully some of the permissions stuff is sorted now. Let me know if you're seeing more weirdness or errors about Bukkit crying.
