Minequery is Now a Bukkit Plugin
Since Bukkit is going to replace hMod as the creator has decided to stop updating hMod, a Bukkit version has been created for Minequery. It basically has the same functionally as the hMod version. The hMod version of the plugin is no longer supported.
Thanks to Blake Beaupain (blakeman8192) for creating the Bukkit version of Minequery and getting it started.
Version 1.1 of Minequery can be downloaded from here. The source code of Minequery can be found on GitHub.
Introducing Minestatus and Minequery
I have created a new website called Minestatus and a hMod plugin called Minequery for Minecraft servers.
Minestatus
Minestatus is a server list that keeps track of the overall uptime percentage of all Minecraft servers that are added to the list. The uptime is determined by making periodic connections to the server to test if it is online. Players can vote on each of the servers on the list for the ones they like to play on best. The score is then determined by the uptime percentage, how many votes a server has, and the age of the server being listed. The servers with the highest scores appear on the top of the list.
lolz.ws and lulz.ws Are Shutting Down on August 9
I have decided to shut down my URL shortening sites, lolz.ws and lulz.ws, on August 9.
Here are some of the reasons why I have come to this decision:
- The lack of traffic on these sites.
- Most URLs were created by spammers.
- lolz.ws was in the jwSpamSpy spam list for which reasons I do not know, causing it to be blocked by some web filters.
- No email has ever been sent from this domain since the day I registered it.
- It has since been taken out of the spam list as I requested but some filters still block the domain.
- lolz.ws was once blocked for pornography.
- The fact that there are many other URL shortening sites out there.
lolz.ws / lulz.ws Now Live
These two sites, lolz.ws and lulz.ws, are now live as URL Shortening sites.
You can now create URLs like for example:
Enjoy, lulz.
Plans on Two New URL Shortening Sites
Recently I bought the domains, lolz.ws and lulz.ws. What am I going to do with them is make them URL Shortening sites.
Imagine linking to something funny on Twitter, Facebook, or to a friend using lolz.ws: http://lolz.ws/alias
Imagine linking to something you are doing the lulz for using lulz.ws: http://lulz.ws/alias
Of course it will be possible to use both URLs for just about anything. It will be a while before I get these sites up.
