lame.
Also has the farming for obsidian thing been patched? I haven't downloaded the newest update yet, and there's a lot of tl;dr in the version history on the wiki.
Ooooh, this is good news. If they fixed the minecart booster effect then that must mean: a) After every patch that it isn't fixed I dodge the bullet, so to speak; or b) this is an unannounced and completely legitimate use for reddust that was discovered accidentally!
I want to lean for the latter. =P
But with the tall grass not forming in already generated chunks, what's gonna happen now, just keep farming seeds from already existent farms?

Well, but then again, if the Nether is working properly, we can simply import lava from the Nether now.

Not what I meant. Yeah having a nearly limitless amount of lava helps, but you only need one source. I was more concerned over the whole "hey put lava on reddust and it makes obsidian if you built a machine with a proper water current." Plus finding lava in the overworld was never an issue.
I found a possible workaround for the tool breaking bug.
It seems that if you put a tool you picked from the ground on a chest. Then close the chest dialog, open it again, pick the tool again, it won't break.
I'm at work and can't test it now. Can any of you confirm this?
1.6.5 is up! The tool breaking and the lighting bugs are gone! (tools that were supposed to break in a save will still break, put them in a chest first)
Actually, we spawned in a very nice nether location, on an island near the "sea level" So we can easily build bridges hopping between the islands to reach other portals, and we can build small towers to reach for the glowstone stalactites.
Sorry for the cobble box around the spawn portal - Because of ghasts the only materias which are generally safe to use on the nether are stone, cobble (and mossy) and bricks - everything else risks being destroyed by the ghast's, so better only used inside buildings.
It would make me want to come back and see, if I wasn't utterly sure I'd flake out again before long. I'm glad things are building well on the new server.
I jumped on for a bit today. To whoever got creepered in front of my house and didn't fix it, fuck you. Other than that, nice to see the buildings advancing.

You could just drop by and watch how things develop from time to time
I haven't flaked; I just don't have unlimited Internet access so I can't ever play. It'll hopefully be fixed in a few weeks or so, but at worst I'll be back during the summer.
Right now I'm delving into single player.

'Cause what is now wasn't there before and should not be
tl;dr: If you want precise transportation between the nether and the real world, build the portal at both sides. Portals are not "linked", they always look for the closest portal on the other side. Nether coordinate = World X/8, Z/8 (rounded to the lowest integer).
1.6.6 updated:
- Glowstone now uses only 4 glowstone powder! Yay! (wool also uses only 4 string. Yay?)
- You can use bonemeal on grass to make tall grass and flowers appear. Yay!
- Glowstone drops 2-4 now (requires a pick though)!
- Bed bus in SMP fixed! (didnt think it was too severe)
Also, it seems that bukkit is out for 1.6.6 already
