I have been busy spending money this weekend, My cable company completely dropped analog signal for digital only, so my bedroom tv no longer worked without a signal converter. My battery backup for my modem and network switch died. I stopped by the store on the way home from work and bought a new battery backup and a new television, spent over $400...

I have been trying to think of how we can get new JRNetwork members to look at more than just the Minecraft game. We get many new members each day, but they are primarily interested in playing Minecraft. Many of the players ask questions that are answered on forum. I have become disinterested in posting on the forum because only a few people...

I first came to the JR Minecraft server nearly 6 months ago. I looked through many pages of servers listed on Planet Minecraft looking for an up to date server that allowed flying.

I got home about 2:45pm to get my wife, daughter and 3 grandchildren on the road to my...

Today (actually yesterday now) started out as an uneventful Saturday. I went to the minecraft server and not too many people were on, so I decided to check out the JR network forum for anything interesting. The first thing I noticed was a new topic by Peter about SOPA. I read his post and the comments and decided to add my own comment. I usually like to...

I was talking to Jamie the other day and he mentioned that his frame rate was only 5 frames per second on his laptop. I told him that my sister (barbermiss) has the same complaint.
When I first started playing minecraft I had some issues with the game due to a low end video card in my desktop computer. I did some research and decided to buy a top of...

This entry is just to let you know a little about me. My name is Robert S. Toy and my minecraft name is rstoy. I know it isn't very original, but it is short, easy for me to remember and it works well enough for me. I am 52 years old and have been a computer user since 1984.

I do maintenance work for a printing company in Nashville, Tennessee, USA....
