So I've been fucking around with special chat characters...and I discovered some neatness.

This is sort of documented, but it's complicated. For each type of text, you have to type a special character before it, I only know the windows one. It's "&". Also...it looks like it only works for admins...looking into that.

• &0 = Black Text
• &1 = Dark Blue Text
• &2 = Dark Green Text
• &3 = Dark Aqua Text
• &4 = Red Text
• &5 = Purple
• &6 = Light Orange Text
• &7 = Light Grey Text
• &8 = Dark Grey Text
• &9 = Blue Text
• &a = Green Text
• &b = Light Aqua Text
• &c = Orange Text
• &d = Pink Text
• &e = Yellow Text
• &f = White Text
• &k = Scrambley
• &l = Bold Text
• &m = Strikethrough Text
• &n = Underlined Text
• &o = Italic Text
• &r = Reset All Formatting

So, we moved hosts, bet most of you didn't notice! Thanks to cnc for making the move seamless.

Now that we're on a new host with more resources, we can make a tool we've had for a bit public: Check out DynMap! There's also a link in the sidebar.

This is pretty bandwidth heavy, but the new host should be able to handle it. Check it out, and check out the full screen version as well. I f you knew the old link...use this one so we can get some ad revenue off it since we're paying for a host again :D

I FINALLY finished the ubergrinder. It's insane. However...people often ask if it spawns slimes.

I present to you the following evidence:

We see that 1.2.4 is released today...for now we're not upgrading, there may be another point bug-fix release, then we'll wait for a stable bukkit dev build

Remember, not all plugins have even been updated for 1.2.3 yet...we're still getting a little chaos-ey with all the different versions of things to fix :/

Burst.NET sent me a paper letter saying they were gonna send a collections agent after me for an unpaid invoice. Lol. We cancelled that service...they acknowledge that. Problem is...the invoice is for $0.00, and paypal (or any other payment options) won't let you send money of 0. So I submitted a ticket for them to not only call their dogs off but to make sure they go into a nasty public bathroom and give themselves a swirly...but I wanted to attach a screencap of this invoice. Idiots.
