Ok, the server is up and running perfectly. We have confirmation from four players. Enjoy.
EDIT: Well, the permanent day plugin seems to be broken. But performance is much enhanced now and Notch seems to have kicked it up.. a notch... with chunks loading more efficiently.
No, Sail's correct. The MC community blows, but shutting down blog comments will cause bugs that don't present error reports to simply go unnoticed.
I honestly don't think that's the case. People tweet him and e-mail him things all the time. The comments section had very little constructive critisism, most of it was flamewars which made you have to wade through shit in order to get to a comment that was "worthwhile." Which bring me to my next point...
Secondly, even if comments are getting really bad, do NOT turn them off. That is a very bad PR move. Leave the comments on, and just ignore them completely. If their is a spam problem, why aren't you using Akismet? If you want to improve quality, get some user moderation in there, or enforce grammar and spelling.
Nope. It is a bad PR move to keep all of that shit up on the blog. Why have all that shit laying around the development blog? Why feed them and let them taint it? That's what forums are for, not a mostly informational blog about the progress of the game.
It's a bad PR move because people get mad and feel like they're getting screwed, even if it isn't true. If he had closed comments on the blog while giving an explanation that he wants people to direct their criticism to the forum or whatever, it would be a different story.

TIme to cash in those hidden lava buckets I have been stocking up on.
Mr. Jason where can I trade my lava buckets for you diamond tools? Also I FOUND A RECORD! The one thing in this game I have been looking for and I found it. It is the green one and the tune is Cat by CR48 its an interesting tune to say the least. I wonder if people were to come over if they were to be able to hear it with me? Plus this Moss stone I am so going to use, as for what I do not know yet.
Edit: it appears I can't "share" the song to someone by having it play on my record player, to the bug suggestion board!
I used my working after the day of Christmas wisely by constructing my house. Currently a work in progress but it is now actually resembling a house! The goal of having a brick exterior is looking worse since the amount of clay to brick blocks is too much for me to scour the environment to collect, ah well live and learn.
The server has been updated and is working nice and smoothly. There are a couple of weird bugs to be discovered with the newest mod release; for instance, pouring a lava bucket doesn't give you an empty bucket back. It gives you a chest. Weird. However, the memory management is vastly improved. Sand even falls now instead of blinking out of existence in mid-air and reappearing on the ground. Amazing.
Perhaps that means it's time to give monsters another go.

I am building a ranch house that has not torches, I like the no monsters to worry about while finishing it. Also once it is done, so doing a house party for it.
I think I got my house layout all completed, next up is decorating with pictures, bookcases and other minecraft trickery to get furniture involved in the house, also need to get the basement going as well.
The secret tomb in the sky castle is complete. Starting work on the library. The tomb is actually a lot smaller than I intended, but it still looks neat. Also, lavafalls are awesome.
Kiey is now an admin, because he builds fucking awesome stuff. Airship. Sand castle. Sirako. Boy is good.
I think I'm going to hollow out a cave and build a balconied system of wall houses like the Navajo, but hanging out over a dark pit. That sounds neat. Kind of an Ewok village-in-a-cavern kind of thing.
I have found a 2nd mine! Now it is time to create a connecting tunnel to my main one to be all connective and such. Also still on the hunt for clay and lots of it to make myself some more brick blocks.

Check the fourth floor of my Ode to Freud, I think that's where I put all the clay bricks I made with the clay you put there. =w=

So yeah, I just spent the last 3 hours causing and fixing a flood with the water system in the back of the Ode to Freud...fuck, sorry if there was any damage I didn't see/fix. .__.
Warning: Mobs are on. It remains permanent day, though, so monsters will only spawn in deep, dark caves. Also, health does not regenerate anymore. Use food to heal yourself. Forge some swords. Make some armor. This shit just got real.

Found it while mining for supplies...it's so beautiful. :'D

Also, my true task (underground mine home) just became harder because of it, oh well, more stone to deposit on my Ode to Freud.
The water in Minecraft is srsbsns. XD
By the way, Notch has announced that there will be a water mob introduced to the game next week.
