Minecraft: server day... something

xavierwolf2007 — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 19:14:07 GMT

Some time has passed in the world, and stuff has happened.

I've left the server on for a time and passed the IP out to a few more people who seemed interested in building stuff.

There has been alot of mining, and Pryamid built, as well as very pretty wooden cottages that go against all fire codes out there.

We also got griefed, as TNT was found strapped to buildings.

As I have no clue with server things I really cant tell who did it, or how. Fortunatly the TNT didn't cause many issues, although there was much cursing.

As for myself, I have been spending time trying to mine obsidian, avoiding being mauled by zombies from a spawner. Getting a chest, then dying and loseing much cool stuff, including a diamond picaxe.

Grr...

I wouldn't of minded too much, if I hadn't rescued all my stuff, then promptly died.. Twice...

Drat..

So I'm back to square one, although my mob trap seems to work now, just need to do something about all the chickens.

Minecraft: Server day 2

xavierwolf2007 — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:12:30 GMT

So, I can run minecraft but often at an alarmingly slow rate...

Hmmm.

Anyway, things seem to be working now and people can connect via net as well as local.

Salamander3 is building another wooden house, in the middle of a lake.

TK has died and gotten lost and built several bases in an attempt to stay alive.

I am currently trying to build a mob farm, out of the side of a mountain.

So, going well so far, and I haven't burnt anything down.

Yet.

Minecraft: Server test day 1.

xavierwolf2007 — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 19:21:17 GMT

Soooooo,

We learnt 2 improtant lessons in this test, which I will get too later in this comentary.

So TK was cajoled into getting the server exe to run and four of us proceeded to twiddle our thumbs as we tried to get things too work. We quickly established that TKs computers require more power, as they maxed out his ram in short order.

That established I stepped up to run the server, and one quick exe we were away. Inital thoughts, very resource heavy but once the game begins to stablise it ran smoothly and the landscape was nice.

Not sure at the start if it was on normal, as no obvious options on the basic server, but this was quickly established as well.

Creepers are not nice things.

So the game progressed and I began to do my usual stick of setting up a fort and lighting it, usually with flaming logs.

And, I started a small forest fire.

Oops.

This caused some cursing and panic as wood was farmed in sort order to stop the swath of devastation. This led to Salamander3 to proceed to build a wooden house.

Eeve3 started to mine down and PSlion planted trees, everywhere...

And I started to build up my fortress up as I do.

The biggest problem was, as I saw it, were the creepers who congregated around the corners of our bases and usually blew up next too, or on top off, a base.

So I planted some burning logs...

Next to a wooden building...

Ah,

Oh, well...

So, lesson number 1) Dont let me play with fire.

Lesson number 2) Dont build houses from wood.

Server restart.....

Minecraft

xavierwolf2007 — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:47:18 GMT

So big Alex went out and got me minecraft and now I am forever dragged into a world of cubes and grind. I'm not sure if I want to hug him or kill him. 5 World in and I'm at the point where I can at least mine and balls up mob fars and lava traps.

The simple idea of having projects going in mining and building keeps dragging me back, as does the prospect of a server TK willing.

I'll let you all know my progress and if the server idea come about, and I do not play on that pussy peaceful mode.

I'm a man who will die stupidly whilst building my lava traps at night.

&^%$&^ creepers.

Orthodoxy

xavierwolf2007 — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 20:25:32 GMT

For those who don't know me, or follow TTR on Mondays at 9:00pm, I play role play games. The main one being a game based on M&M D20 rules (edited) called Orthodoxy.

I will be occasionally dropping things into the TTE library at www.tigertailsradio.co.uk like notes and character sheets as well as maybe explaining a little on the orthodoxy world.

If your interested, check out the new site once its up, or search out the tigertails library on this piece of software.

I do have to say that the things created within the Orthodoxy world are the property of people with big sticks. And myself, who all my friends consider to be, a sociopath.

Be warned.

Random

xavierwolf2007 — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 07:28:55 GMT

I don't really post on here, mostly due to lasyness, but I thought I would throw a random post out.

Most of this year has been pretty average for me, bar some great points that I have enjoyed. The main reasons I have found that everything can be considered average boil down to the job I do and my current living situation.

The job I have is call center based complaints/sales work and I have found I have reached the end of my tether with this and I am committing myself to find a less stressful job.

My living situation is more about the fact that I live in Southampton and my lover lives in Pennington, which is a pain.

Both of these things are within my control to change.

Just need to get off my ass...

EF

xavierwolf2007 — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 18:56:05 GMT

Soooo,

Thought I'd better make a post.

I have registered and paid for EF, my first con. Yay me! :)

Only now have to sort out passport, driving license, travel and insurance. As well as money and sundries.

More work, ah well.

Christmas

xavierwolf2007 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:05:49 GMT

So, I am finally doing my xmas shopping now.

I must be mad... Wait, I am.

So, for those I will miss, Merry Christmas to you and I hope you have a good one.

Looking forward to a new year.

Xavier

Sucess

xavierwolf2007 — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:19:02 GMT

So, I have finally gotten my main computer back up and I'm re-filling everything. I realize that I have lost some stuff, like some of the art that I've sent. Plus I seem to have a keyboard setup that has put my @ where my " is. Damm

But I am back and now working on getting my stuff up and running.

I hope.

Drat

xavierwolf2007 — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:43:27 GMT

I dont normally post much, if at all, and the reason for posting amuses me.

My main PC has borked, and my hard drive needed to be wiped.

I have probably lost some stuff, nothing too important but it is very irritating as I had invested quite a bit of time into setting it up the way I want.

This will mean that all I have is my little writing laptop until I have re-installed all my stuff and purchased stuff to replace anything majorly borked.

As such, I will have difficulty replying to emails and such and doing to much.

I think the plan will be once xmas and new year gone by I look to get things a bit more structured and may even post more. (shock)

Ta, ta, for now.

Xavier

The wanderer retuns.

xavierwolf2007 — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 13:24:12 GMT

So, come back from my hols feeling good an looking forward to the year. Yep thats right,I've gotten round to posting on this thing and am in a good mood. Yay.

Mixed about work as, as you will of heard, price cuts have been anouced and I'm sure to have people calling in to complain that it should be lower.

I have put in for a comission from Evee3, who I will be proding occasionally about this. I have been told I may have a bit of a wait as shes still working on bungles. Im sure he'd understand if you left his for a year or so an did mine first :)

I enjoyed recon dispite being slightly claustophobic and no one I knew was there. I will however say Goastbusters Manga, set after the two movies for the win.

Speaking of manga, my collection is sizeable, just need to remmber to order correct issues to get up to date.

Been doing more sketches and been playing with fine liners. With a bit more practise I may progress to inking my drawing.

So, all in all, not too bad a start. Now I just need to book my next holiday so I can recover from going back to work.

Things in life...

xavierwolf2007 — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:26:44 GMT

Been a while since I last posted (shock horror) so I thought I drop a couple of things onto this melting pot of ooze that is called LJ.

I am finding that conversations I have about various topics are being repeated by others, even if I am not part of the conversation. Even worse, I find myself listening to a conversation I have had with someone between to other people. Random...

I have a reason to upgrade my chipset in my PC, it is called warhammer online. For all those who start to say "oh, warhammer, just annother WOW clone!" I will point out that WOW ripped everquest and warhammer for interface and "The entire frekin history". In a brief read of the history of WOW I could quite happily replace WOW names for warhammer ones. Secondly, it does all that WOW does and lets you PvP and PvE with ease. Plus I have big guns, artillary and air strikes because I'm a dwarf engineer. Eat spanner.

Work seems to be flopping on either side of good and bad. Im applying for some other jobs so I will see how things go in the grand scheme of things.

Art wise, and writing, need to do some....

House wise, aside from wanting to beat all my housemates sensless on the odd occasion, things are starting to get alot more settled. I just need to keep reminding everyone that my patance for pointless drama and petty grief has an end and that if I start snapping its because I'm evil. I also know where all the knifes are...

I'm getting old...

Finally, on a lighter note, I'm enjoying my current relationship more, although time and curcumstance means little contact.

Makes you wonder where your journey will take you tomorrow...

Mild rage....

xavierwolf2007 — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:56:14 GMT

I generally don't vent on LJ.

Granted I sometime use it to put forward an opinion or statement or something, safe in the knoweledge that no one cares or reads my stuff.

However, this is a general pissed off rant of someone who has had several lines crossed and has, as yet, made his point accross to the people involved.

Firstly:- I am generally a peacful person who will lark about with most people. I do have some boundry issues, mainly being that only those who I know or trust are allowed to really get psychically close. However, I do not genraly like having things thrown in my face, which occured at the BBQ in jest. I voiced my opinion that I would not be too agressive towards the individual as he was a guest and I was playing host(chief) kinda thing but I feel it my be nice to at least write this down so in case of future maimings people know why.

Second:- Annother event occured where people/person was egged on to do something daft whilst someone else was larking about. During the fact it was a laugh, athough could be considered foolish at best. Nuff said, fun had by all. Needless to say one party complained about said issue to a third who promptly told the first party which promply created *&^*^%%^ drama. This was then laid out to me and I resisted the urge to point out the sheer hypocrasy of his statements and the fact that by mearly doing this will not solve the problem. EVER. I have learnt that communication between people is the best thing possible, and if you don't understand ask and if someone doesn't understand explain. Do not, in any way, interpret to your own opinions or infulance said event with your own bias. If you think they need to explain there actions the words are "Go talk to whomever".

The above seems to be an issue with most people and I do, probably because I have nice and understanding written on my forhead, get told this rubbish. My options are to nod, express an opion of agree, disagree or as soon will be the case "stop causing this stupid piss shit pettyness to occur or I will rip your head from your neck and........".

Please note: The above is me very narked over this issue and if you wish to discuss sensibly you can, purely to calm me down it seems.

Lastly:- Opinions (I know I should put this under a cut, but hey, I dont know how).
Please, if you have an opinion please allow me to put my case for or against it. Do not shout me down or try to argue the toss that you are right baised on your opinion. If you cannot back your arguement then just accept it, if you are unwilling to accept another opinion then, please, don't state yours as you do not get the right to. I base this on the fact that as a beliver in God, I have something that I have to argue the toss over. I have to think about my own reasons behind this and be able to accept others arguements and opinions. This also relates to other topics, so if you can't bring a logical arguement or accept mine, then don't.

End of rant....

PS. If anyone finds offense or disagrees with this then please say so. I will happily discuss my statements with you, before crushing you under the heel of my sheer anger. Then I will have ice cream and go merrily skip away.

Work

xavierwolf2007 — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 10:32:01 GMT

I had the disiplinary interview and came out with a verbal warning for not following working practicises. Not that bad, but it does mean I need to rework my work ethic alot so I don't end up with another.

With that out of the way I feel a lot more positive and I think with a bit more planning and stuff I can enjoy work and home without too much stress.

I currently have guild wars as a MMORPG stop gap until Warhammer online comes out and a shed load of TV serials to watch.

Also need to pencil in some time for my arts whilst Fur Affinity is lost to the void.

Lastly, planning a damm good clean out and tidy up of my room/house. Skip style.

That should give me a nice refeshing change.

In other news: Fish.

Work

xavierwolf2007 — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:25:55 GMT

Kinda in a naff mood due to work. After reviewing my calls over a period of time my manager is inviting me to a disiplinary meeting.

Ah,

This kinda stuff makes me question my own ability to work and rise to the challange of dealing with anything. Plus the fact that a quarter of my team is already looking at leaving.

If you feel undervalued and put upon, call 0800-PASS THE SHOTGUN.

Ps I have no shotgun.

xavierwolf2007 — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:06:16 GMT

Ive had a good day, work was good, OK sleep and I have tea.

End of message.

The question is: Did you have a good day? Discuss

xavierwolf2007 — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:57:16 GMT

Wishing a happy birthday to evee3, who is now back home for the summer.

Arts

xavierwolf2007 — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:12:39 GMT

Finally, with a scanner kindly donated by bungle I have now started my FA account and downloaded my arts for viewing. Feel free to stop by to have a look. xavierwolf1979, as in my birth year this time

Complaints

xavierwolf2007 — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:02:12 GMT

Advise:- If you have a complaint it is worthwile to be nice and polite to the person on the end of the phone. Reasons being, if your friendly and informative, so will they be. If your a rude person, then be glad if anything is done

End of advise.

Feel free not to phone and complain.

Facebook

xavierwolf2007 — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:30:03 GMT

So, been kinda lax on LJ due to discovering a new toy on facebook. Someone has done a heros app on there, and its more addictive than WOW.

Thats right, you heard me.

If you have a facebook acct, find the heros app and jump on in, belive me its great fun and really easy to use. Also I'm on there in my everyday normal form Peter Woodbury, so you can add me as a friend there and get poked sheeped and varios other silly things.

Moving on from heros, I am finding a never ending amount of TV series to download and watch. So far I'm trying to complete the Pretender series, McGyver and the occational episode of Farscape with bungle. I'm also watching the Sara Conner cronicals which is awsome. Finally they are playing with the timetravel aspect. Plus summer glou is cool.

I've also got pushind dasies, battlestar, dead like me, bleach, ad infinitum.

Glad I've got some days off now.

xavierwolf2007 — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:56:33 GMT

So, you don't know jack. Much lack of sleep and quick fire roundness. Plus sheer amusement at the questions, which are filled with classic wit.

Yet I witter on...

Things are good in my little universe. Work is changing my job foucus, so now I'll be able to sort problems and be a bit more pro-active, rather than trying to sell gas and elec to lawers and financal people. Far too many people are beliving what is printed in the press for me to care to argue, especially when they don't listen.

My relationship side is going well, as I'm currently carefully building up a relationship with my ex. Before all the posts (or not) about how thats a bad idea, rest assured I'm aware of the difficuilties of this. However, I've gone back into this relationship with my eyes open, and more communication.

Something that I will say I lack with most people anyway. I generally don't let people see who I really am, and usually contradict myself anyway.

Finnally, my gaming, which has taken a few blows, has come back to the fore a bit. I'm hoping to get my carding back into the swing of things as well.

Anyway, am full of food and drink so I will now lay down and digest.

Been awhile

xavierwolf2007 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:35:15 GMT

Well its been a while (3weeks my lj tells me) since I last posted, so I feel a bout of randomness comming on.

Life moves on as do the stresses an strains. Work seems to be very much the focus for many, including myself. However, its best to take it on the chin, then overcome any problems.

Home life seems to be more of a variable at the moment. Sometimes I wonder if it is just me being petty, or the situations that arise being annoyingly petty. Hmmm.

My hobbies seem to be lacking at the moment, drawing and writing especially. Have to try and make an effort there, yet my other hobbies (gaming) have also taken a hit with the simple lack of other people to participate with.

My love life is better, and I'm looking forward to V day. The future will always be uncertain, but so long as I have the couple of people who I have connections with I'll be happy.

Now all I need to do is get my savings up to £1000 so I can get my fur suit.

xavierwolf2007 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 08:00:44 GMT

My birthdays comming up, along with arikin. My weekend has been planned and quite full, to top off a full and plesant few days.
On the down side, had my bike stolen from a secure parking lot when it had been locked up, Gah.
Failed to get some time off in feb, Gah.
Been a bit rubbish at work, double gah.

However, some time off has helped clear my head, and I'm prepared to get my head down. So I lost/had nicked my bike, I'll get a new one. So I failed to get time off, learn to book well in advance.

Fortunatly I have some good friends and entertaining hobbies that I use to sort myself out.

So, all in all, a better start to this year than last. *Crosses fingers*

Stuff

xavierwolf2007 — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 20:22:29 GMT

Happy birthday to orona, hope you have a good day.

Hello to all those how friended me, please bear with my ramblings. One day I might get to the point.

For all those who are out to lose weight (you know who you are) we are all with you. Having started on a keep fit/lose weight regiem myself I can tell you that its easier with friends.

As is going to the gym...

Work is looking good, as is personal life.

Now all I need to do is crowbar some time for my hobbies, I vote for an eight day in the week. Whos with me?

The new year

xavierwolf2007 — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 06:30:24 GMT

Well, its time for me to have a look at the new year.

First off, I have picked up something thats making me cough wheeze and generaly feel bad, and I don't mean bungle. Again I have the flu/cold, although this time I can't really skip work because of it. Ah, well...

Plans for my year include going to the gym more regularly, possibly with bungle, a bit of cardio and weight lifting will do me good. As would going to the gym... :)

I need to write and draw more regularly, an easy win by putting a day to one side.

Cut back on sugar...

Cut back of bad food, blah blah blah.

Get my contract at work and become a trainer, rather than a CSA.

Lastly, look at my love life.

This has kind of been rather crap over the last year, however, it has come to light that I have feelings for a couple of someones, one of whom has made it obvious that they like me too. However, its a new year, and I really dont know where I'll be in two to three months time.

But things are looking up. :)

Apols for the long post, one day I'll actually learn how to use this new fangeled tech.

Or spell.
