One of the threads on the Minecraft Forums mentions that Notch and co at Mojang have gone to GDC (Game Developer's Conference) in San Fransico, leaving nobody with the keys to the server to be able to administer it.
It's a bit like that time when Pete and myself went to Teh Nodnol meet and Teh fell over*, except EVEN MORE FUCKING ANNOYING. Gah.
*This is true, I even tried to restart the server using pocketputty on my phone, but had a) consumed too much alcohol and b) couldn't get a stable data connection to do it.
nah - that's the ver1.2 /bin folder - no good now since Kos updated the server
I am using a .jar file (I'll attach it to this post)
my minecraft.exe doesn't seem to work well at all, but the .jar works most often
There's still plenty of life in it! The game hasn't even finished development yet - so even if everyone here did get bored tomorrow (not going to happen), you'd have a spurt of Teh people playing it at least for a while when it is actually fully released.
I fell to my death digging out the pool and when I respawned I was floating in space for a while with no terrain at all, then it booted me out and I can't reconnect now :(
