Test 2024, Part Deux

OK, after my previous efforts I was still thoroughly hacked. I went and grabbed a malware scanner which…. found some malware. It has now been exorcised. Probably. At least scanners can’t find any any more. Have added some extra security measures.Now everything is working again, I may actually start posting again. The spiritual death of Twitter has left me with less opportunities to talk about things. I am on Bluesky, which is nice, bit it is not the same.

Test 2024

Seems there was some evil being done here. I’ve updated everything, and changed the password to something ridiculous, which will hopefully put an end to their nonsense. If not, I’ll break out the flamethrowers.

Not sure I like the new WordPress much. Perhaps it will grow on me. Anyhows, hello! I’m still not dead.

Test

Just a test to see if everything is working after upgrades.

Still Here, 2015

You know how the longer you take to speak to a friend you’ve not been in contact with for a while, the harder it gets? Months or years pass, and then it’s too late. A blog can be a bit like that too. I’ve wanted to post something here many times over the last 18 months, but I’ve not really known how to get things started again. So much has happened, and very little of it terribly pleasant, but I […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 53 : A Dish Best Served Cold

I have bided my time, lulling them into a false sense of security, but it is now time for the goblins to reap the whirlwind they have sown. This time I bring some friends.

Well, that could have gone better. Also, I kept calling it Tundra for no good reason, when it was clearly a Taiga biome.

In all honesty, snow golems are not terribly effective troops, and I would have been far better off using some of Special […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 52 : Random Rummaging

I’ve had a lot of viewers suggest I give Plunder Rummage a try, so I take it for a spin.

It’s a clever, well put-together mod, but I don’t think it suits my playstyle in its current version with default settings.

Mods Encountered

Plunder Rummage by Guff : While the default loot from Plunder Rummage chests is far more generous than fits my playstyle, it’s worth pointing out since recording I discovered that the loot tables are customisable (The […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 51 : Railcraft Watertanks

Just a quick episode in which I fiddle around with setting up a Railcraft watertank, in order to top up my water network.

Mods Encountered

Railcraft 7.3.0.0 by CovertJaguar : I was pleased and surprised that the watertank automatically powered the output pipe. While it doesn’t provide that much water, it should more than compensate for any water my occasional Carpenter use takes out the system.
