Personal computing discussed
CPU (Computer Power User) Magazine, March 2012 (Vol 12 Issue 03), pg 11 wrote:When it comes to popular PC games, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft has long been the benchmark by virtue of its one-time claim of 12 million subscribers. As of September 30th, the company reported that its sub numbers had decreased, but still stood at 10.3 million, which is nothing to sneeze at. There's a new sheriff in town, however: On January 14th, Minecraft creator Markus Persson (aka Notch) reported via Twitter that his game, which only left beta and became a full release as of November, had 20 million registered users. Persson's Tweet also pointed out that if each subscriber weighed 70kg, the total weight of the game's players would equal 25% of the weight of the Great Pyramid of Giza. That's most likely not the comparison we would have gone with -- and not just because we don't know what a kilogram is -- but thanks to Minecraft's runaway success we suppose Persson can pretty much write whatever he likes on Twitter.

I am sad to report that due to an incident involving the word "penis" being spelled out in blocks near my nephews' house we decided to limit the server to family only to avoid my family-in-law needing to start a separate server for us to play with them on. Sorry.

i would, but i'm not going to bother looking up what the "standard" minecraft server port is to log on. if you're going to post an ip, post the entire ip.
