Cool! Care to share the script?

I'm planning on being there. I've always wanted to go to a congress that was not tied to a college campus.

Just a bump to remind folks that the SGC Pair Go tournament is happening this weekend.

Also, if you saw the picture above in the AGA journal announcing the tournament, you can now see the rest of the ...

I am using the same version of Debian, but with XFCE4. I was never able to get Cgoban3 to launch with openjdk7. I finally installed Oracle Java v6, but did not set it as the default with update-alternatives. I created a launcher for Cgoban3 to call Oracle directly so that Cgoban3 runs with the ...

I also think keeping it simple is best. If I need to introduce the game, which I do sometimes when the SGC is doing public outreach, I usually say: "Go was invented in China over 4000 years ago, Some of the first written records found in China mention the game. It was also popular in Japan during ...

This gives me a chance to plug my all time favorite Korean historical drama Tree with Deep Roots . The plot is so twisted and complex that I can not describe it completely, but the main story concerns conspiracies and assassinations surrounding the creation of the Korean alphabet. Complex and subtle ...

I apologize for the flame war in advance, but I can not let a MoyoGo thread go by without mentioning that anyone who enjoys this software should also buy a copy of GoGoD . Unless the collection of games distributed with MoyoGo has changed, most of the SGF files included are lifted from the GoGoD ...

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else and I wanted to bring this thread to a conclusion for posterity. This e-mail was sent to all SGC members on Friday Dec. 21 2012.
