Yesterday WHEATLEY, the new dedicated Minecraft server, finally arrived and was configured. The past day or so has been something of a shakedown cruise. A clean, new Ubuntu install needs a surprising amount of supervision to get Minecraft up and running properly, and considerably more to get the mapping software going. But hopefully all that is done now and the increased memory allocation is working well. HAL9000 is staying as the stand-by server for a while, but I expect to reallocate it to other tasks soon. It is possible WHEATLEY will need a quick rebuild in the next few days to handle a bit architecture issue, so until that is resolved, I'll be keeping its predecessor ready to go.
In terms of construction, a few experimental new dirt gantries have gone up near Hyde's Tower, and more doors, portals, and windows have been made in the walls. Most distressingly, though, is the large bullseye that's been installed at the corner of Wells and Trowbridge. What's that all about?
