I sometimes wonder how many teachers are on here.

I teach physics.  And on a related note, outer space is quite terrifying.  Like how utterly powerless you are if you are adrift in space....

Am I the only one who expected Ross's post to end in some complete non-sequitur?

Watch "Don't be a plonker - Buy the Humble Indie Bundle 11" on YouTube

Great bundle spend 5$ for all!

SOOO good.  I already had Monaco and Antichamber (the two I would be most interested in), but the soundtracks and other good stuff made it worth it....

Okay, so some updates:  Really wasn't liking the performance I was getting on my laptop, so I'm gong to try and run it off my desktop for a while and see what people think.  In addition, updated to a pack that is compatible with Minecraft 1.6.4 (Direwolf20).  Same server IP and whitelist, if you want to jump on and give it a try.  So it is a new world, but I do still have the save file for the old one if people want me to share that with them....

I would say heights, but I think it is actually more a fear of falling.  As in if I feel secure, even if I am high up, I'm fine.  But if it doesn't feel secure and I'm only say, 20ft up, then I get a bit nervous....

One thing that is weird and frightening in I guess a more existential way is the notion of eternity or having an eternal existence.  Like if I try to imagine it, it is so far out of my brain's ability to comprehend it, that it's truly uncomfortable.  So things like Eclipse Phase have another layer of "otherworldliness" or terror to them in some ways in their core mechanics....

General Chaos / Linux Distribution Question

« on: January 04, 2014, 04:29:28 PM »

I have a question that I am hoping someone might have an answer to.  I am looking for a very processor-light distribution of Linux, and have tried Google, but don't quite know how to sort through the data....  I want to install it on a partition on my old laptop (2008 Macbook Pro) to run a Minecraft server on.  I have found with the mods installed, it tends to tax the CPU a bit (RAM is fine), so I'm looking at options that would minimize the other things.  Ideally I would like something that is pretty straightforward on the install or has a good tutorial.  I will hardwire the computer, so I don't need to necessarily access wireless cards or anything.  I am comfortable with decent amount of Unix commands and SSHing and such, so I don't necessarily need an involved (or necessarily any) GUI.

Any suggestions?  Any other information that I'm missing that would help?

Question:  There are some new mod packs available, would people be interested in trying to convert or starting over with these new mods?  (based on Minecraft 1.6.4)
