Org Minecraft Server

Edit: Nevermind. I played with the torch that was controlling the pistons controlling the water. There are some strange glitches where a random sticky piston on one side gets pushed out of place. It's almost as if the block it's meant to pull back pulls the piston out of place instead. It happened at least three times.

Everything seems to work for now.

Found the sand generator and it works great.

I never knew two spawners could exist right next to each other. Sazak and I were exploring his new mountain land, when we decided to explore the caves. We got separated, and I was fighting through a horde of spiders from 2 spawners. I walled myself in, and tunneled my way to the surface. Boy, that was scary.

With spanky's help I've been able to create a Nether portal to Sazakistan with a relatively safe path connecting to the main portal area in the Nether.
Everyone is obviously welcome to come and take a look around.

Is the server down for anybody else? There have been a few instances in the past where my computer "can't reach server," but none have lasted for a full day before.

Yes, the server crashed again. It's been crashing a LOT lately; maybe once a day since the 1.3/bukkit updating, so I've just done something to try and help that. I've installed a system that monitors the server and should auto-reboot it if the server locks up. The program tests the server every minute to see if it's still responding. If it doesn't get a response from the server for 5 minutes, it will auto-restart the server, which should fix any issues. I've also got it currently setup to do scheduled restarts every 6 hours. You will receive in-game text notifying you of the restart at the 10 minute, 5 minute, and 1 minute marks before the restart. Restarts should only take a few seconds, so it'll just require you to log back in and shouldn't be too inconvenient. These are basically the default settings, so I'm just going to leave them as they are for the moment and see how the system performs. I can tweak the timing and options later. Let me know if you notice any issues with it.

I think my newer 7x sensor is permanently broken. Sticky pistons randomly engage and get forced out of the machine and both the day and night outputs stay on. Oddly enough the 2X at my village works okay but it's not sensitive enough.

If anyone could stop by my desert village and offer suggestions, or a fix, I would be grateful. It's a key component of my new village.
