Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the amount of time this took to bring to you, I had another hospital visit and this stopped me doing pretty much anything, for the past five days (including blogging). I am back now and delivering my mod tutorial for you.

A quick update...

I am nearly finished with the next part of the plugin tutorial and that will be ready tomorrow for you all to enjoy. Also the Bukkit page for a new mod I will be creating to further develop my knowledge of Java is mostly complete and I have just sent it off for approval. You can check it out here. It is an MMORPG mod and when developed it will come in both client and server side form. When there is a early version you can test I will post about it but this could take a few weeks/months before a playable version is released.

New mod tutorials...

Hello everyone, sorry for late post I have been quite ill recently. I have a low immune system due to Anemia that is caused by a Duodenal Ulcer. Anyway, I thought a good plugin to start off with, could be the based upon a plugin I have recently developed and released called Doctor. It has had over 100 downloads now so I thought it would be worth looking at.
To start off I recommend downloading the newest compatible version of Java for your system, and then an IDE,  I use Eclipse. Download the latest version of this IDE for java and install. Then you will want to download your latest version of Bukkit (for devs it isn't called "Craft Bukkit") and after you follow the link under the big download button, there is a link to 'alternate version' click on that and select on the top nav-bar, "Bukkit."
After this and when you have Java, Eclipse and Bukkit, you will be ready to go!
Next part coming before the 10th be prepared and subscribe to the feed...

The Raspberry Pi

I received my device yesterday and spent the entire day fiddling, adjusting the settings and installing things. Being new to Linux I struggled through out the day trying to get the device to run a Minecraft server that I could play on with my friends, while not having to pay a fortune on electricity when leaving my laptop on.

I only found one java run time environment that I could get to download on the device through the package manager. I used 'apt-get openjdk-7-jre'. I am using the Raspian Wheezy Armel image, I think this is compatible with java? Please correct me if I am wrong, in the comments below. In the end I managed to get a somewhat 'run-able' server, having to fully overclock the device to the maximum 1 GHz CPU clock ("Turbo mode"), this still however used all the device's processing power, while constantly warning me "Has the system time changed or is the server overloaded" every 30 seconds when idle. I am now looking for an alternatively coded server client to use.

With all that out of the way I really want to shout my praises to this device. I haven't used the I/O pins yet but I think that the idea to implement them in this device was amazing. The fact that I could get my device to turn the lights on in my house is really neat. When the camera device is released I plan to create a program to turn the Raspberry Pi into a CCTV camera and controller, giving me a live stream of the outside of my house. The only annoyance I have found is the fact there is no power switch, but it cost me £22 from eBay so I am not complaining.

To conclude, I am really glad I got this device and hope to post more interesting news, its possible uses and compatible programs to use in the future. Also I will be showing you some of my creations as soon as I understand how to make them.
