Yeah, you have to add yourself.

[Flisch]

Hey, I didn't add myself. I wonder who added me. Additionally, I think I'm using the word add way to often. It adds to the appeareance that I have a limited vocabulary, which is not true if I may add.

[Haseri]

Well, somebody has to add you anyway.

AND!

You guys will have to do it in single player for now. I'll start it up later after Notch does more fixes.
Thing is unstable and spikes constantly. Pretty bad performance and tons of lag.

[Inkling]

Punch them to death!

It does the same for me in singleplayer 

EDIT: It seems to only lag above ground. I've been exploring a huge cave system in a newly generated world, and I only noticed the stuttering when I surfaced again.

Woo.  I've designed an easy to play piano that hits every note possible.  It's also designed in such a way that you can rapidly hit any not you need for any song.

[Oviraptor]

Just what we need, deadlier spiders.

[Lippy]

So that's how that spider got in!  

I started a new map and built a 3 block high house without a roof to keep out mobs, but let me know when it was going to be daylight.  I got killed while playing with dyes.  

I guess I'm gonna have to put a roof on it.  

These are some bugs I've found...

lag spikes,
placing minecart tracks doesn't work right
you can place torches on the bottom of blocks, and they just float there.

The tool health bar looks like it's been changed as well.
EDIT:  Yeah, I just got 60 dirt from a wooden shovel.  It would only giving you 33 before.
