Minecraft Server Menu

I have a few friends that I play Minecraft with, we'll call them John and Sally . Two Problems: When I want to play with John , I would have to edit my server's properties file (server.properties) to point to John 's world. When I want to play with Sally , I would have to edit my server's properties file (server.properties) to point to Sally 's world.

Origins of The Name

Ahhh the name... I have been asked this question so many times: "What is   DizzyThermal ?" The origins of DizzyThermal is actually a two-part piece-meal. 1.

I also don't want to pollute my Google+ page, so this seems like a good alternative platform. Maybe this desire was spawned by forcing myself, in college, to cut myself off from social media. I feel this has led to a hard disconnect between myself and people in close proximity to me. I am a strong believer in brevity, though I'll probably break this philosophy from time to time.
