After about an got and a half of trying to get four people to play together online resulted in much frustration. Those nintendo errors are soo useless, they don't give you any kind if information.
Unlike many other blogs that will give you walls of text without one picture, I try to give you walls of pictures instead of the text. Not to say I'm not one to write walls of text because I have been known to, however It's not as fun without a little link, or picture or video or somethin'. Not to say that books without pictures can't be interesting, but it's not really my thing to read non-fiction either.
Apparently I can upload longer than 15 min on youtube now, so here is a Test drive. The Source File to this video was 132GB. I compressed it down to 1 Gig or so and I'm noticing the loss in quality in the dark areas... also in the high movement areas are lost of fuzz.
Fnord feels whole again, now that Bukkit is version 0.0.1 we will be testing out the waters of this wave in a can. Tin bukkit can I mean, what's in it?

Permissions - This lets me control who does what, but it's useless alone. But needless to say this is the first step in any Bukkit server (unless you're doing something crazy).
Then there is: AntiBuild - To keep those who I didn't invite from ruining anything, at least with with their hands, creepers be creeping. BorderGuard - To keep you from making the map rediculous. iChat - This gives us great colors, and other cool functionality like group names.
Then finally, the cornerstone of all mods: Essentials - This does everything else you would expect from the server and more, from /home to /mail there are a wide variety of commands and goodies that come with this plugin, for most users this means /spawn and /home. But mail is a good feature too for all to use, saves on signs.
Firstly I'd like to say that I hit 1000 hits yesterday, so I guess I need more content to put up. I could really write more posts, but I've never been a writer. So I'll try to get into it more...
I have started a SoundCloud account, so now you can dabble in my tunes, and present me feedback on how it scraped your eardrums. I have only uploaded older tracks of mine, and early ones at that as a test, but I'll get into improving some of my more recent tracks and dropping them by.
