Yeah, "Server" or "Server". I forgot to check "Show file extensions" for his

I have my own Minecraft server, so I understand it all, I'm also a web developer so I understand the part about Notch's database and I develop local apps which gives me an understanding of the textures (I use the paintrypack).

Still, never thought of it like that.

Thanks for leaving that nice note, Ethan.

I'm very impressed that you understand the ideas of databases and remote vs. local storage. That's very good!

My own son never sticks with one skin or one texture pack for very long. He's always experimenting! I'll show him the painterlypack that you mentioned. Maybe he'll like it!

Ethan, minecraft is a waste of your talent. You should convince your mom to bring you to work to fix some of my bugs. :)
