Minecraft and cinnamon coffee — Max Glenister's Blog

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, which adds plugin functionality and a whole host of other awesomeness (such as kits and spawns)

This plugin I was using (WorldEdit) 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.

Tea weather

One large mug, two Yorkshire tea bags, steeped in freshly boiled water for 2 minutes, squeeze and remove the bags, generous splash of milk. The weather has finally felt like it’s changing from the sweltering summer we’ve had, and the nights are closing in. Rain against the window, the rumble of thunder, the room lit by lamps. Having and enjoying a nice cup of tea feels comfy. It’s a hot drink but it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. The bitterness of the tea hangs on my tongue. The thick mouthfeel of each gulp is satisfying. I’ve been drinking coffee throughout the mornings as always, but now being able to enjoy a nice cup of tea in the evening lets me know the autumn is coming.
