Be Excellent To Each Other

Did you still have problems using my one davpaz?

Actually, yes.

I wonder if I need to look at my setup at home. I might have a bottleneck somewhere. It's a fucking 20MB cable connection with a 2MB upstream. It shouldn't seem slow.

Hamachi has been dog-slow for me everytime I've tried and use it for something.

Is that not just the nature of a VPN?

Are there faster options?

Well, putty SSH works for me

But I like shiny click buttons and GUIs.

That uses *nix commands doesn't it? I swore off them when the uni email stopped using Telent

Are you actually an IT guy? Or has having a baby melted your brain or something?

No it's dead easy, there's a GUI for the terminal side, the only CLI bit is logging in. On the server just make sure SSH is running and open / forward the port - piece of cake on the Mac at least.

Stop it! Sworn off it, I said!

(Ok, I'll try it)

Speaking of farming, there's one just near the mine entrance now, behind the road. Dunno how the crops will have fared without my checking on them, but seeds are easy enough to find if you grab a hoe. Three wheat makes one bread!

FUCK IT

Clearly the network bods have *all* of the ports locked down tighter than throughsliver's t-shirt.

I've tried dozen of different combinations of ssh at both ends, but every port, even 80, is apparently closed.

BALLS TO IT.

What? 80 outbound can't be closed or you wouldn't be posting here.

I was thinking that.

I *know* that. It just doesn't work.

Try doing some work instead.

Such open hostility.

I may cry

Wah.

I'm having a brilliant time in Cardiff, so I won't be on the server for the next 2 weeks

Wait, there's a new server?

badgerbagder AT no-ip DOT biz

It's on Kalmar's home adsl so don't expect miracles

It's alright though... I wonder how much caching goes off... I think we end up downloading the chunks every time.... mind at the moment every time I join something goes bang within a second or two and I go climb a tree to save my ass.

So what's this about a server then? Is it a fresh world or the same one we had before? I have a very deep mine on the old one.

Man, if only a post history was still on beex so people could read back a couple of pages instead of asking the same questions over and over. That'd be ace. We should invent that.

My sarcasmometer just pinged.

I couldn't be arsed. I looked back a bit and just saw loads of people talking about ports and stuff.

Better hope someone can be arsed to answer your question then.

Oh snap! I read the last 10 pages to repent.

Anyway, why don't we just rent a server? Pretty sure you can get a decent one for £1* per person** per month***.

*RevStu
**Jokes
***Are shit

I need to check on my crops, but my network is too disconnecty. Woeee.

We did. It cost me £35/month for six months out of my own pocket so, unsurprinsgly, when people stopped playing, I cancelled it. You won't find a VPS with enough RAM to run Minecraft (about 1.5 GB) for much less than that.

Ah. I didn't realise you were paying for it! Why don't we all chip in?

He's not paying for it, he's stopped because nobody logged in for months.

Now, with the slight revival, we're getting a small number of regulars on, IAW and SA and Cookie, which my ADSL can handle. Max concurrent users is set to 3.

If people want a massive revival then sure, pay £35 a month then

AN INTRIGUING QUESTION

FTFY!

I donated the other day but some soft arse spent it all on prezzies!

As always, I don't mind really.
Beex is still cheaper than the £50 a month I offered Stu not to do the £2 a month thing.

So yeah, if you want to go and check your mine out, welcome, WTB.

I have my own server. It's the ultimate exercise in antisocial gaming. I have monsters turned off and cancel night before it has a chance to kick in. I have unrestricted materials and don't have to worry about breaking anything. Also... no distractions.

It's ace.

I'm so lonely

Another week before i can come on

I have observed that An Man has been building something very interesting.

Would this be the same An Man who expressed an interest on Friday on Twatter?

I don't know who you're talking about.

I heard rumors of a mine cart track... I can't find it. where is it?

Frontierland. Next to splash mountain.

I have an underground one on the Wicker Man side of the Megalith, but you'll need to craft the actual minecart to use with it.

The minecart ride is by the way, bloody amazing. Go try it.

Is anyone available to help me test something? I know it's early, but I'm at work, so get up!

Is anyone playing Ace of Spaces? It's essentially minecraft crossed with a WW1 capture the flag game. RPS piece:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/13/10-reasons-you-need-to-play-ace-of-spades/#more-56887

Main website is at http://ace-spades.com/ (currently down, probably due to the RPS mention).

This sounds like something we could have a bloody good laugh with.

Does anyone want to see if they can connect to my server? You'll have to tell me so I can add you to the whitelist

Go on then, I'm sat at my PC not doing much.

Cheers bud, PM sent
