Oh hey, haven't checked in here for a while. How's everything going?

This is my Linux side, I use this wallpaper because it inspires me to create. Might get around to uploading windows desktop at some point.

Busy busy busy.

I liked beta 1.7 PvP. There was no sprinting, and bows shot very quickly, making them incredibly viable if you had the resources to keep up your arrow supply. There was no food bar and if you had full diamond armour, there was no enchantment and you could jump into PvP knowing you had the best...

With regards to the tutorial itself, I'd say even for basic plugin development these days, looking into Gradle or Maven is a must. With IDEs, I'd go for IntelliJ over Eclipse, the autocomplete is better, live templates enhance productivity so much, and maven/git support is built in (as opposed...

I would disagree that gradle takes more time - it's incredibly simple and the configurations are a lot shorter. It also has the advantage of using a DSL, which you can use for scripting etc as well if you want.

NanoNet is correct here, two methods different return types but the same name and parameters (in Java at least) will have the same method signature.

Check sites like PCSpecialist or ThinkPenguin, which allow you to customise your build and then build it for you. My current laptop is a PCSpecialist model (though my budget was higher, the equivalent of about 2.5k AUD) and that's been running awesome. (Also, with this sort of site, you can save...

Personally, I use a Corsair Vengeance 2100 (the older version of this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CA-9011127-EUCGH2100-Wireless-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00NHJQ8CA/ref=dp_ob_title_ce ) They're about £80, and have good sound quality (both in and out), good noise cancelling and wireless (with a USB...

You can't just add parameters to onCommand - since onCommand overrides the method in JavaPlugin by the same name, it must be exactly the same (CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) Adding gameName means the method signature is different. If you're taking the game...

I'm not sure I'm keen on the new layout - lack of contrast between text and background makes everything pretty hard to read

I know all of the topics you listed, and I've taken up software developer roles in the past (though currently a test analyst) I'd say go as if to get a job, and check websites such as GitHub jobs or StackOverflow Careers and see what they require. Look at graduate schemes and see what you can do...
