Wait, is there a new IP address? I think I'm still trying to use the shut down one.

2. I download the latest backup regularly (once a week on average, sometimes more). If the entire server decides to crap out we wouldn't lose months worth of work.
How big is the backup file? If it isn't too crazy, set up a server script to automatically email the file to a Gmail account, then set up a Gmail filter to tag and archive the emails. That's what I do with my blog and it means that I never have to worry about not having access to the most recent backup.

Thats a good idea. Backup files are no more than 200mb so that should be doable. How would I go about setting this up?
How are you organising the auto-backup? Is it something in Minecraft or do you have a server-side script? Is it a Linux/Unix server? If yes, I could help you come up with something, but if it's a Windows server you'll need to Google it yourself.

There do appear to be waterfalls, which would suggest the existence of source. Though I won't deny the possibility that rivers may have waterfalls going both ways (which would be very disappointing IMO).
You know, it might be worth waiting to know there aren't any horrendous bugs before upgrading to 1.8. Remember how long beds didn't work? Nometheless, I'll try and get myself prepared over the weekend.

The Yogcast have a series of videos showing off the pre-release. The only thing I really noticed was that Endermen don’t seem to work properly in SMP.
Not to say there couldn’t be more bugs though.

i found a bug for the furnaces,the game works fine but there are some lighting problems,the only thing that can crash a server or a world is starting a furnace,when 1.8 comes completely ill try to check it out to see if the furnace wont crash
Something occured to me concerning NPC villages. If the buildings and the NPCs are released in separate updates, I'd assume that the villages generated before 1.9 won't be populated with NPCs, since villages become like any other creation in the world once the generated, and MC won't be able to tell where to place NPCs. Unless there's some smart mechanic behind it.
In short, my worry is that if go out exploring around Exodus and find villages, they will remain NPCless even after 1.9.

We could move into the first one we find, then focus on building a home base until 1.9. Then, we launch a scouting party to find other signs of life. then we kill them
