Well it doesn't look like I'll be on the server or able to help as much as I hoped. The bone marrow transplant is going ahead full steam and I'm having tests and scans done every other day, and trying to get all my affairs in order the other days. Really sorry that I can't help, at least for now. I ...

Wait, is it me? I know I still have a few things I need to finish up testing on and email you about. I'm going through my backlog of "todo" today. Since I finally gave them a yes for the bone marrow transplant, they've fastracked my schedule to hell. I'm getting all kinds of tests and scan...

I don't think that map has worked since the old server, as it uses the dynamic map plugin. The server is currently vanilla, with no plugins.

I think you missed the part about the space aliens coming down and stealing all of our shoes.

Wait... That may be related to something entirely different.

Wow, that's a big farm. Mine has maybe 20 animals at a time in it. I've always seen nether issues. We even completely disabled it for a while and built a fake nether because it was causing so much lag. I'm sure that it has improved a lot since then. It would be good to gather as much information as ...

The problem is that my quality of life is so low already from my current medical conditions, and it has a high chance of being worse no matter the outcome of the transplant. I'm a bit of an odd person. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I legitimately thought I would be dead by 30 from some stupid sport of t...

The hard drive setup is probably just a partition or folder on a raid setup of regular drives (something like raid 5). With a VPS you really won't have an option of getting a dedicated SSD or anything. The ramdisk is the better option since you're [usually] using actual RAM. The new script I have ma...

Java in general is bad at utilizing multiple cores. As far as I know, bukkit moves some of the garbage collection to a second core if available, which means less memory usage. A server type CPU like a Xeon with so many cores is worse in performance than a higher GHz CPU with only a couple cores. Tha...

Well, today I flip a coin to decide if I'm going through with the bone marrow transplant or not. I haven't been able to give a yes or no for a month, so it's come down to this. I hate what will happen on either side. This whole situation really sucks. A no means 6 months to 2 years left to live. A y...

I've got a couple of newer scripts as well that I've been testing out on a local VM that might work better than the other one I gave you. Need to make sure they work as I expect though without any problems. I'd be interested at seeing any cpu graphs as well if you have any. I expect they've spiked e...

Heh, I have extreme OCD and I'm an introvert. I know exactly where you're coming from.

If there's anything on the todo list that I can help with, let me know. I also just sent you an email with some other stuff. It's a ridiculously long email.

I think now is a good time to take a step back and look at what has been done wrong, and right in regards to the server and players. How has it followed your vision, and how has it fallen short? As I've talked with you, I completely understand where you're coming from in shutting down the server. I ...

Oh I would love to see an end picture of all the extra stuff.

That mspaint map is awesome. We should totally use that.

In my experience, a livestream brings a lot of the viewers to the server, and many of them try to find and follow the streamer around

That would be awesome if they played on this server. Though a whitelist would probably have to be put in place temporarily. You would have a ton of people joining, and probably some of them trying to follow them everywhere.

You probably can't tell me what the book is about because, if I remember correctly, it is mostly a collection of notes and other unfinished work that Tolkien had. Thus there are a lot of short little references and notes in there that could possibly be expanded upon. A TV series would be rather cool...

I expect the major focus of the third movie will be the battle of five armies, and rightfully so. This is a massive battle that can be very interesting (though it will probably have plenty of action crap that I don't care about). Really I'm generally okay with the things that have been added. I don'...

I went to an IMAX double feature because I didn't get to see the first one in theaters. I hate 3D, but I wanted to see these in 3D. I think the 3D was very well one in the first one. I felt that the immersion was there and it enhanced the story. The second one the 3D felt like more of a gimmick. The...

Server was down temporarily while stuff was being configurated and tested. It was back up around 2PM EST (I think).

MST Yeah there is a limit per chunk and depending on the setup there can be an overall limit on the server,but I think that's usually a plugin thing on bukkit servers. When I notice them missing it is generally down in my mines, which should be far away enough from my farm. But I'll experiment with ...

I've also seen a lack of mobs at times. Sometimes they're there like normal, sometimes I don't see a single one in a play session. I haven't really been able to track it down to anything that I've noticed. sidenote, I will be available monday morning and monday evening memo if you have any time. Tue...

Seems he got all pissy and upset about how memo responded to him in this thread and up and left. Massive overreaction.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Or do. I don't care, just go away.
