Morning Discussion
The only game that has piqued my interest on the platform is Civilization Network, which launches in 2011. As a Civ nutbar, it could get a little dangerous to have such easy access to a game like that. Especially when I'm meant to be working.
Will the whole "one more turn" thing become dangerous when coupled with the work environment?
I know that some offices block the site but still... I foresee a lot of people finding themselves on shaky ground with their bosses when that game becomes available.

I found this site very helpful: http://neil.fraser.name/news/2006/11/17/
The site is basically the same as the calculator on AgentPothead's page, but I found this one a little easier to grasp and you also have the ability to make a sphere with even numbers and not just odd numbers.
Just set Z = 1 for an even sphere. -

I made a mob grinder when I should have been working last night/this morning.
It's alright. Kind of a neat change from searching for diamonds. It sends them plummeting to their death, which is entertaining.

Yep, this is exactly what I did. It's several blocks high inside with some (fairly poorly designed) water flow to carry mobs to holes to the center. The pitch blackness allows the mobs to spawn and they inevitably wander into the water, carrying some of them to their deaths.
Here are some pictures of the inside with torches to light it up. I turned it to peaceful because I tried going in once with mobs active and it's absolutely terrifying.

I'm just getting my priorities straight, rama! Currently, I think it's more important to put my life back together rather than play a buggy multiplayer game!
The exact second that health/damage, and duping/mining get fixed though, I'll forget about having a stable daylife and jump right back into this bugger. I GUARANTEE IT

simplemap can show coords IIRC. This is Zan's minimap though. Different zoom levels and rotating map are pretty cool. So's the heightmap. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=77497
