E-commerce is up. We cans haz minecraft server now plskthx?
Hold your horses. I'm rapidly finishing the Pragmatic Party site (to be unveiled January 1st), and I've begun the build of the first of two game servers (Counterstrike to start). Once the CS server is up and the site is done, Minecraft will be the next server project.

Minecraft isn't very hard to host for. Just download the exe, put it in whatever folder you want, and run. Just need to fuck around with ports if necessary.

Welcome to my world.
"Rym, do this thing."
"Ok, I'll have it finished in a month."
"It's literally three clicks. Just click three times."

I've set up an old machine with a Hamachi server to avoid all that port-fucking. I'm testing now. To join the server, you'll need Hamachi running and our password. You can AIM me for details.
I don't have a Windows license: all my servers are Linux.
Also, none of the servers are physically built yet. They consist of a pile of parts, one of which wouldn't post due to what appeared to be a bad PSU. I currently have zero working servers.

Hamachi sucks. Just open the ports on your router. It's not hard.
I'll bet it is. But considering save files can be 40 MB and have some 30,000 files in them, it's going to take time, especially shuffling it all over to the old compy that's hosting the server. In the meantime, I've shut it all down until I can get it sorted. Expect progress when we get back from turkey-gobbling with the in-laws.
Built a hovering water heater and hovering aquaducts to feed into and create a combination shower and hot tub that drains into the ocean. It's pretty much the hotness. Pun intended.
So.. I was planning to have a weekend this weekend. My main mid-term goal is to set up a second base and link it via portals for when all the caves around Port Jason run out. Short term, setting up a cactus farm to build defences and keeping the wood supply flowing.
Do portals lock onto ones you've already made? If you make a portal in the nether which comes out near one you've already built in the overworld, will it come out at that one or make a new one?
Building multiple portals on Earth within a certain proximity will all lead to the same portal in The Nether, and the same might happen vice versa.

There's already a cactus farm. It's next to the fishing pier.

No, portals are not consistent. The one in the base will always go to the same portal in the nether. But turn around and jump right back in that portal and you won't come out in the base -- you'll come out near that graveyard of portal stones you found. It's a fairly broken travel system. Thus the glass tunnel under the ocean that I've been building. It might be a long walk, but it will get you to the same island every time.
Further investigation into my write errors seems to show that my network card is too shitty to set the required transmit buffer. I'll probably have to buy a new one.
According to the MC forum, this is a known bug with no fix. So when you start to get problems, ask for a server reset. It takes about 30 seconds.
Also, though Notch hasn't implemented portal support in SMP yet, I can have the entire server spawn us all into the nether after a restart. Another restart can send us all back to our saved map. So we can get hellstone, glowstone, lava, etc.

Two years later.
"Hey! I did two of the three clicks."
"Gee, thanks."

NOTE: You MUST message me to get permission to build.
