Introduction
Hello. I'm the Brickviking, otherwise known as Dr Smokey. In other circles, I'm 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.
4th October 2011: I then created my first real house in Digi Island, ironically out of sandstone. Here, I built my first big cobblestone maker, the CobbliMaker Mk 360, which was the preliminary for creating the Behemoth.
Ongoing Treatment
It won't work. I'm infected for life. As a result of my disease, I've had to take residence in New Avalon 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.
Current Projects
Rail
In collaboration with User:Biscuit_Junkie and other very helpful users, I'm putting together the Great Railway for Avalon. This will soon have its own page.
Home
I'm also putting together my base, Cyel. This consists of all three of my Pixellia builds being moved onto Cyel (now complete) and modifications to make it more user-friendly.
Minor projects
- Room 2B in Fubaka's Great Library
- Memorial plot in Fubaka's Ville d'Art
- CobbliMaker 1872 (little brother to the Behemoth
- the relative newcomer, the SmoothiMaker Diamond Model
- reorganising chestspace at Cyel
- redecorating the Workshop
- rewriting signs at Nolaria Circulum
