Unfortunately my hosting provider had to upgrade the local hardware stack and my site went down for about 3 days.  Ugh

Raspberry Pi 3 & Minecraft

By Admin (4/1/2017 3:17:00 PM)

Recently the HDD in my Linux box died, taking with it my demo WSS (WebSocketServices) plugin for Minecraft.  So instead of purchasing a new HDD, I decided to try running Spigot on my old Model 1B Raspberry Pi to see how well it works.  Its purpose is not to run Minecraft, but to demo the WSS plugin.  Surprisingly the Model 1B was capable of running Spigot, but frequently crashed due to the limited memory of 512MiB.

Seeing that the Raspberry Pi is capable of running a Spigot server well, I purchased the Model 3B, which has 1GiB of memory and set it up.  It definitely runs much better than the Model 1B, and I plan to continue using it rather than using my old Linux box, which unfortunately ran hot and loud in my living room and was solely for running the WSS plugin, as well as other experimental dev work in Linux.  It'll be nice to have a quiet, discrete Raspberry Pi now.

Blog removed

I haven't updated the blog since 2011, so I thought it was best just to remove it.

Upgraded to ASP MVC 5.0 with Bootstrap 3.0 integration, as well as a site revamp.

WebSocketServer demo almost online

By Admin (10/4/2015 12:10:00 PM)

The WebSocketServer is almost back online.  I lost the hdd on my linux box a month or two ago.  The drive seized up and I lost everything on the drive, including my Minecraft dev server.  Recently I've had the time to reinstall Linux, setup Minecraft, and get the WebSocketServer plugin back in place.  Due to the upgrade to Spigot-1.8, I've had to update the WebSocketServer plugin & client-side library, but have not pushed the client-side update to "production," so while the demo page now loads, the data that is returned is not shown.  I hope to have this updated soon.
