>>hitting me a few times with whatever's in his hand at the time.
(Quite often, John)
That track in the tunnel is a health and safety NIGHTMARE. I lost loads of my stuff when I crashed into a runaway cart at speed.
So I'm building runaway cart detectors. Don't panic, if you're bombing along and you're in a cart you'll go straight on. If a cart has no occupant it will be taken off the track and stored :Y
Good lad.
Looks like I'll not have to impose a Potters Bar H&S fine on you today then.
Response code 503?
Edit: Oh right, restarted the application and yeah, won't connect to minecraft.net
The 503 error is because (I think) minecraft.net is down, and the server verifies your user name with minecraft.net to make sure you're not pretending to be someone on the whitelist.
I shall turn off that check now and you should be able to log in if you do 'play off line' when you load minecraft.
