Introduction
Hello. I'm the BrickViking, otherwise known as Dr Smokey. In other circles, I was known as a tester and document editor for the Open Cobalt project (no, not Cobalt the game, though I have that too). In addition, I maintain a small number of software projects.
First Infection
I first started Minecraft after having bought the Humble Bundle back in late July 2011, and Notch allowed everyone with a HIB3 purchase to have some free time on Minecraft. After spending three solid days on the game early in August 2011 while not otherwise asleep, eating or other stuff, I was sold. I started in with Minecraft Beta 1.7.3, and have upgraded through every PC version since then.
Initial Treatment
September 2011: Since then, I stumbled into Cubic Worlds online, I still have no idea how. Needless to say, I'm here.
17th September 2011: I set up house with Cobble Manor directly above Biscuit's Mine, not realising that helpful users had stuck me right on top of a historical artifact. Thanks guys for giving me such a stellar start in Pixellia.
1st October 2011: The Great Grief. Yes, I took part in this, learning that cobble can indeed be created on level 128, if you mix lava and water in the right way. As of 1.8 beta, this was the only way I know of to actually place blocks (aside from water or lava) on 128y. Of course this was all rendered moot when Mojang increased the height limit up to 256.
4th October 2011: I then created my first real house out of sandstone in Digi-Island. Here, I finalised the design for my first big cobblestone maker, the CobbliMaker Mk 1872, which was the preliminary step for creating the Mk 1872s and the Behemoth.
Ongoing Treatment
It won't work. I'm infected for life. As a result of my disease, I initially took up residence in New Avalon, then to Voxellia, and have since moved to Tesseract while I live out my ongoing life in Cubic Worlds. Having only made one bad mistake since coming here (crosses fingers), I'm learning the ropes.
Additional Information
When I moved to Voxellia, I consolidated a lot of the builds I had under my control, though most of Digitus (previously known as NOISE) was consigned to the history books along with the rest of New Avalon. However, the Hotel California has been moved over, as has the Block Museum. This made the move to Tesseract far easier, as I was able to simply select my whole territory to copy over. No reorganisation needed.
Current Projects
Home
I'm always working on my base, Cyel. This consists of all three of my Pixellia builds moved onto Cyel (now complete), some builds from New Avalon and modifications to make it more user-friendly. So far, I've added a chicken farm, cobble maker, smoothstone maker (not currently working), chestroom, house, two mob spawners and other sundry projects.
