A great talk from Rob Pike about concurrency and the Go programming language. Definietely worth the 30 minutes.

Cool idea for designing options in Go.
Updates for biomed
I have made some improvements to biomed, my biome editor for Minecraft maps:
mailremind
https://code.laria.me/mailremind
I've written a web-based service that allows you to send yourself an email based on a schedule: mailremind.
Why? Because I often send myself an email to remind me of something and I thought it would be useful if I could send mails in the future or based on a schedule (e.g. useful for birthdays).
If you also think this is useful, you can have your own installation (it is quite easy to configure), or you can use my public mailremind installation: mailremind.silvasur.net
gomcmap updated
I updated gomcmap, my Go library for handling Minecraft maps.
- New Biomes and blocks from the recent snapshots were added.
- Adding Chunks implemented.
- Removing chunks implemented.
- RecalcHeightmap fixed.
biomed was updated
I updated biomed. A bug in the weather condition fix code was fixed (snow could fall through glass because of Minecrafts weird definition of a height map).
There is now also an experimental minecraft-1.7 branch which adds the new biomes that the recently released snapshots introduced. When Minecraft 1.7 is out, I wil merge that branch into master.
