Whats up with the 1.5 update?! whens server coming back?

i cant wait until the server comes back on and we get to have storms and everything! i read hacketts notch post link thing lol and one of the quotes is during storms if pigs get struck by lightning (i know lightning! ) that they will get turned into zombie pigmen and monsters will spawn but also when will the server be coming back? today? that would be great or tomorrow>?

because the server uses alot of plugins/mods hackett needs to wait for them to update so we can have our old way of playing the game and with our old map, but the server uses alot of plugins so it might take some time for them to be updated to the new lines of code in 1.5 with weather etc.
