After my experiences with Infiniminer, I will never, ever, never EVAR run a public server for these sorts of games, and the things I experienced there have traumatized me to the point that I will never host any sort of public server for any game. Seriously, those people scared me.

Take a break you say then? Okay. I guess I'll play WoW or something.

Anyway, what actual gameplay do you think Notch will throw us first? I'm thinking it'd be wise to implement an 'economy' of resources with which we build bricks before brick laying becomes a matter of urgency.

Man, I keep trying to get into the server and it keeps freezing up my computer on me.

I'd be more than happy to just be able to kill some ugly deer mobs or something.
You know, on the HUGE map size.

The only way to get any hint as to what he's doing is to stop by the Minecraft IRC when he's on and ask questions.
Well, you can try anyway. Most of the time you'll spend sitting there watching the poor guy get bombarded by everybody ever, asking questions, popping suggestions, giving coding advice, and stuff.

It's pretty nutty in there when Notch shows up and it only gets worse. But he insists that's his preferred place to hear people, so..
Yeah, I'm usually in there but I'm afraid I have no clue what he'll be doing next. If we're lucky, he'll let us know on the dev blog what he's up to.
Regardless, we wait.

EDIT: Yeah, since the last client update, I've been getting browser lock-ups as well.
I'll report the issue. Make sure you do as well.

I also get browser lock ups.

Hang bug in 0.0.21, can't fix until tonight.

I THINK the bug is caused by aiming outside the map.

I’ve rewritten the picking code to use raycasting instead of opengl picking. It got a lot faster and a lot more predictable, but I’ve got a feeling I forgot to check for negative coordinates. :-(

I will fix this the first thing I do when I get home. Sorry!

Well, alright.
We'll have our fix within the next 12 hours more than likely.

Feel free to keep checking back at my Examiner page every now and again!

Well i tried this for the first time today. It was fun, i made a maze, built a square room, and unflooded an area.

The Lava Pyramid. It is a Super Secret Project by the Razonatair World Domination Corporation to be used as a peice of propaganda to gain recruits, due to its shear awesomeness. Therefore, it is incredibly hard to find.

Hey I have an idea if it would be allowed. Let's make a Spleef arena on a clear map!

[PatMan33]

Is that a challenge, Raz.

Give this man a cookie. And a monocle.

[Gungnir]

What is this...spleef?

[PatMan33]

It's a feature!

[Raz]

Lava+Water+Glassworks is pretty cool. And yeah, it'll take you a looonnngg time to find it if I haven't already shown you where the entrances are.
