I kid you not, I finally got around to updating my server to 1.7.8 at 8:00am, only about 90min earlier.
And now I'm at work and can't do anything about it until I get home in 8hrs.

Just an FYI. Oracle has released an update to Java.
No, I'm not talking about the 7r55 update, I meant the upgrade to Java 8, a version which is supposed to have better dynamic interpretation and faster execution, etc.
Word of warning, though. Java 8 requires Vista or better on Windows, and OS 10.8.3 or better on Mac, so anyone who hasn't (or can't) do the upgrade from WinXP or Lion will be forced to still muddle along with Java 7 for the rest of their computers' lives.

Interesting... Slime blocks have lateral "stickyness" when pushed?
Looks like. Here's another example from another Reddit thread:

I wonder if something like that could be used to push through an ocean and screw up the water. Water doesn't always fill back in correctly, so it could make a bit of a mess.
I wonder if something like that could be used to make THE MOST AWESOME FAST TRAVEL EVER.

Corners would be tricky. You'd also need to figure out how to get the pistons to go faster. Might be cool if you could make a giant spider that could crawl around on the map.
I had been thinking about throwing this out. I have hosting service through godaddy for my website(s) of which I barely ever use. would it be of use to the MC server?

Unless it is a VPM of rather expensive caliber (or dedicated machine), probably not. Most webhosting packages are crammed several to a physical server, and don't have heavy allocations of either ram or CPU cycles as the demands of most websites are very small on those resources. However, they're the two most important for Minecraft servers, I'd say even more important than bandwidth really. Almost always, when you experience "lag" playing minecraft, it isn't actually network latency, but rather the server being unable to keep up with the processing demands made by the changes to the world made by the clients.
Because Java.
Oh, which also reminds me.. most webhosting also doesn't let you run executables, other than scripts in such things as CGI, Perl, or PHP.

I have a copy already that Shakey provided me, From just after I finished the monument (I believe your corvette was already done then).. it's at http://gasbanditry.com/minecraft/shakey-world.zip
They also have a limit of 20 authorized players. Which would kinda suck. I'll be doing an actual host this time, so it should hopefully be better.
Ooook. New server is up. The new address is 198.154.113.26. If you get a chance, can you update the halforums address @Dave.[DOUBLEPOST=1401667774,1401667225][/DOUBLEPOST]Balls, I wrote more but it won't show.

Ya that's the big problem. We need way more authorised. Not concurrent, but total is way above 20.
