That was damn quick! Got a package full of books! The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne Meditations on First Philosophy by Rene Descartes The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo (abridged) The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift The Republic by Plato Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand (not one that was on my list, but I'm interested to read) The first attempt didn't have all the books in it and the second was my face hurting from all the attempts to get them all in.

Stevo: Could you remove me from the looking for roommates list? I'll be rooming with MaxFrost.

I can't actually take credit for those. Those were done by Jimmy. Sure. Does that mean we'll be seeing more of you on the server? (edit) - Okay. He's been added.

Been working a bit on the Business District in Spawntown. Here's a few screenshots: The middle building is still under construction inside, but the outer buildings are pretty much done. They need to be "moved into" and probably need bathrooms added too, but otherwise are complete.

Okay. Finally. I have the time scheduled off. Now I need to pre-reg, get the plane ticket, and get money to MaxFrost for the room. (edit) - Pre-reg complete. We require more vespene gas!

What about two items for two orders?

The main issue is that Mojang keeps releasing new versions. Each time a new version (all of which have been super hefty with changes) comes out, Bukkit has to restart their update process. I've been really annoyed by it.

Pre-ordered. Yup. I'm a nerd.

So... 35 days until server renewal time. That means it's fundraising time! Yay! Last time, the invoice was £81.60 ($127.05). We raised quite a bit and I only had to pay about half of that. That definitely helped. I expect it will probably be about the same this time around depending on currency conversion. I guess it's still a little too early to get the invoice details. Like before, there are two ways to help out. You can donate directly to the server through the ClanPay function (click the banner in my sig). It does require that you donate a minimum of £5 and I believe you need to have a multiplay account (the account itself is free). Until we have an invoice, you'd be contributing to the credit on the account. The second option is to donate through PayPal, though they will deduct a percentage as a fee from whatever you donate. Here are the links seperated out: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=N8MTT67WSETHS ClanPay: https://secure.multiplay.co.uk/clanpay/contribute?clanid=T1RGbVkySTNPR009Yjc4YzQ=

Yeah, you're welcome! So, the lesson here is always keep your Steam wishlist up-to-date.

Okay. Got mine taken care of today. It's a shame I won't be there in person to see the reaction. Oh, well.

Considering the way that postage works around the holidays, it's probably a good idea to go for earlier rather than later.

I was wondering how long it would take for the lists to show up. I feel it took longer last year. Anyway, here's my list...

Okay. Sent.

Waiting to bid on vacation time... if I get the time off, then I can start paying for stuff...

This has been rather fun for years, so I'm definitely in. Baha, do you still have my address and stuff (hasn't changed since last year)?

Seconded. I'm sure BinJovi could whip up something that will work perfectly.

So, 1.4.2 is out and there's a metric shit ton of new stuff added. Anvils, beacons, item frames, flower pots, carrots, potatoes, pumpkin pies, cobblestone walls, wooden buttons (that are activated by arrows), bats, witches, withers, etc. See the full list here. A lot of stuff I'm really excited for. Naturally, that means that we have to wait for Bukkit to update as well as all the major plugins. I'll start the plugin status as soon as Bukkit's updated. The MineCraft API is not yet available. I guess that's being put off for 1.5. Anyway, since we can't yet update the server, I've created a backup of the 1.3.2 bin folder for anyone that still wants to play until we update. Here's the link: http://www.abadoss.net/MineCraft/MineCraft_1.3.2_-_bin_folder.zip

This is looking less and less feasible for me as time goes along. I'll know for certain toward the start of November...

Side note: It's amazing how legitmate a dock can look just by adding a few cranes and shipping containers...

Anvils... NOW I CAN COMPLETE THE FORGE!!! YAY!!!

There are still slots available to get a physical copy with one of the higher up levels ($100 and above).

I fail to see the problem with this...
