Ok. I would like to know, this Can't connect to minecraft.net. It is highly unlikely it is a new update, most likely bukkit fixing somethings. i believe in Mojang, that they could sneak up with an update, but recently all major updates came out on thursday or friday, and didnt have this long of a wait. I reccommend to rediscover single-player, or perhaps do something else and stop worrying. Dont worry, Itll be up by tomorrow, 1.3 or 1.2.5, just go get a life for 12 hours. Or write a blog post like me.
