Minecraft and cinnamon coffee

================================================================================

A typical weekday for me:

7:30 wake up

7:31 check email

7:32 shower, eat, leave the house

8:30 arrive at work

12:30 lunch

1:30 work some more

5:00 leave work

6:00 get home, eat

7:00 - 12:16 start up minecraft

…

…

1:00 go to sleep

Today would have been no different, except I’ve had to be productive this
evening. Anyway, productivity as it is, procrastination rearing its ugly head I
decided to try out some new plugins on my minecraft server..

The server is already running Hey0’s amazing server GUI/wrapper
(http://hey0.net/get.php?dl=serverbeta&list), which adds plugin functionality
and a whole host of other awesomeness (such as kits and spawns)

This plugin I was using
(WorldEdit (http://github.com/sk89q/worldedit/wiki/_pages)) allows you to edit
areas of the map en masse - so after generating a bunch of huge glass spheres,
making floating biodomes containing water, and even making underwater glass
biodomes containing trees, I got bored and decided to mess with TNT.

Now, by default TNT mass spawning is (quite rightfully) disabled with this
plugin - but I figured out where to enable it, and so went about creating a
region that was 20 blocks wide, 200 blocks long, and 3 blocks deep, filled with
TNT..

…and then I set it all off:

Unable to recover the image :(

It took 10 minutes for Mac OS X to recover from this - which was ample time for
me to make a cafetiere of cinnamon coffee.
