Normal wear and tear of both me and my gear

Whats happening when you are ready for a relaxed Friday afternoon.
Get something nice to drink, lean back and enjoy the internet at its best. As my job at home is to do as little as humanly possible, I'm a good relaxer and know how to be seated comfortably. After all this is what I've been doing for the past few years.
Imagine my surprise when the world I know suddenly falls apart, my old chair breaks in the weld, first I fall backwards, and somehow I got stuck under the desk for a few seconds with both legs jammed between the chair and the desk. Of course my cat like agility comes in handy in such scenarios.

I guess things could have gone worse, and I had been looking for an excuse to get a new and better chair for a while now.


Have a nice weekend everyone!

Server updated to MC 1.3.2

Its that time of year again, the Minecraft team spends an awful long time making some minor changes to MC and makes us have to go through the trouble of waiting and updating what we had.

Rant aside, the server is now updated with the latest CraftBukkit beta build (1.3.2-R0.1)

Plugin Changes:

~ TrainCarts
Temporarily removed because its not properly updated yet, so instead of having this plugin holding us back, we cut it out until a new version is out, which should not take too long.

~ ButtonPromote
Temporarily removed because its not properly updated yet. This is the plugin we use in the promotion hall, and without this plugin you will not be able to promote yourself.
Until the plugin is updated and reinstalled on our server you will have to go through an admin to get your promotion, hopefully we will have the old system back on its feet in not too long.

- ItemDisplay
Removed as its kind of pointless, not much used and with a future MC update there will be a better alternative to displaying items than this plugin offers.

- SimpleMail
Removed because its been buggy, not well maintained and not much used. its possible we can add a different mail plugin later if more than one person requests it.

Aliens are coming!!!


Aliens are coming.... or are they already here? ...

Is that a landing... or a crash landing? ...

Did he finally decided to take his plane inside? ...

It obviously doesn't fit through the stair way though...

What will Alien do now and next? ...

Is it probing time? ... or what time is it? ...

He sure has his probing axe in hand...

Seeing is believing... and you saw it, he does fly or does he not? ...

It may not be a space ship that he is flying...

But he had to start from somewhere, right? ...

It is no bird? it is no UFO? it is just a very dirty plane...

But really who is flying it is the important part...

Are they here? or are they not? ...

Think ....


Think again...





Think fast...





Then think again...




And after that...





Think a little more...





Just Think...

Temporary Server Shutdown

Server Downtime - Monday 6/8 to Monday 13/8

Since I will be gone for a few days and the activity is so low these days, the server will be shut down while I'm away.

So from Monday 6/8 to Monday 13/8 everyone needs a new hobby.

Regarding the update to MC 1.3, obviously that wont happen during the next week, but somewhat later.
The Bukkit team have not released any recommended build yet so its still premature.





Something to spend some time on while the server is down:

Bunny Invation II

Excellent minigame to get rid of those hours and days.

Another nice minigame
