Of mining and crafting.

So apparently the entire internet has exploded with love for appropriately-named cubetastic indie game Minecraft, in which you mine resources, and then craft stuff. And occasionally murder things, because what video game is complete without murder? Anyway, there's so much love that the dude's server can't keep up with demand. I keep hearing about it but never really paid much attention to it until I watched some Let's Plays, and now I'm curious. Dude's having a "free play weekend," wherein "weekend" is being defined as "however long it takes to rectify server issues," and since I somehow managed to luck into a half-day off today, I decided to give it a shot. Haven't started yet, 'cause I've got a couple other things I need to do first, but I was just curious if anyone else has messed with this game yet.
In the comments on the Kotaku article (why can't I quit you, Kotaku?) some guy mentioned that some other guy was working on a utility to convert Dwarf Fortress maps into Minecraft maps. That sounds kind of sweet. So, you know, if you're into Dwarf Fortress, that might be an "in" for you.
