I've just got back home...
... from a higway car crash accident. Which has occured a few hours ago. I was the passenger in a car which has been dislodged on the rail and got back on the road running 50mph through the snow. After that a van hit us from behind. The car is totaly damaged but I've got through with a light brain concussion only. I am a lucky bastard!

I would like a new game.
I don't care bet size or non anon/anon. Full press WTA High quality game. No requirements other then you must have a resign rate 1% or 0%... if yours is higher, explain the resigns in the forum, and we will see if it was your fault or if it was out of your control. (Internet problems in a live game)

Analyzing data from webdip games?
Just wondering if any thought has been given to making all the move data from the history of diplo games available? Seems like every strategy article I read is based on analyzing like 100 postal games. While interesting and still relevant, there's no way to know if strategies have shifted over the years. In any case, the data exists in a much more easily analyzable format. Just wondering if it is out there anywhere?

Have a Birthday Comin' Up
And I know y'all don't care, but I'm wondering if I should care a little more. It just doesn't seem like the 'year' is that important. In the past year, I've tripled my number of college credits, attempted to analyze my own psychology, and completely changed my style of composition with heavy influence from Charles Ives. But I'm starting to evaluate my life in increments of a few months or so.

The barely (un)intended effect of having a birthday coming up:I DEMAND JUSTICE
This is meant to cheer up Jamiet while simultaneously allowing people to post their most random thought of the day. Or as some folks like to do around here, post a random link and ask people to discuss.

So either post some barely funny comments here (save the really funny comments for when Jamie comes out of surgery) or DISCUSS!

Tthe Conqueror is wicked, and you would be forced to carry out wicked acts if installed BUT you might be able to do good as well.

I'm sorry
For the amritsar massacre which has been discribed as 'One of the worst outrages in the whole of our history'. Should current politicians apologise for events that happened before they were born?
No, in that the apologies are not personal and the date of birth of the person issuing it is irrelevant.
Yes, to the extent that it is important to show that any successor state can regret actions of the past, and in fact can rectify them or prevent them from happening.

Think of Japan following Nanjing. Or, for that matter, the interesting case of the US and the native Americans.

On the subject of apologies I rather like this from Nigel Farage addressing Gordon Brown at EU HQ:

''As far as the economy is concerned, you have told us that somehow you are the economic guru; you are the man who can save the world. Well, I remember very well your first big act as Chancellor when you sold 400 metric tonnes of gold on the worlds exchanges at USD 275 an ounce. At todays valuation, that would be USD 10 billion higher. It was not just the fact that you got it wrong, because we can all get it wrong. It was the fact that you announced in advance how much you were going to sell and on what day you were going to sell it. It was an error so basic that the average A-level economics student even in these educationally devalued times would not have done this. To add to that, you have destroyed our private pension system, and you took away from the Bank of England its ability to regulate the banks and gave it to the tick-box bureaucrats of the FSA in Canary Wharf.
We have not heard an apology. Your Government has apologised for the Amritsar massacre; you have apologised for slavery; you have apologised for virtually everything. Will you please apologise for what you did as British Chancellor, and then perhaps we might just listen to you?''

What TMOW said. It's not the politician that apologizes, the nation he represents apologizes and he/she is the voice by which it does.

Yes - politicians are representative of their nation, not their birthday.
