So I decided to hop on this morning and try to catch up a little since I was running behind last night.  Everything was running smooth but then I got the Minecraft Fatal Exception.  Not that stupid End of Stream thing but like a hard failure on the client end kind of thing.  I reloaded Minecraft and tried to log in to the server but it wouldn't allow me.  It just said "logging in."   Went down stairs and the server was running really slow even though it wasn't bogged down by processes at all..  Kind of confused about that one.  Restarted the server manually and now I'm back playing but I noticed my entire inventory is gone.... So if you have the same problem I'll be on later to restore it for you.

Hasta!
