Life In 19x19

Looks fantastic! Thanks, Stephen, for doing this work. I'll try to keep on top of any bugs in the JSON webapp that you find.

Mef is right. You can do all the requests you want as long as they are a few seconds apart.

As for mirroring, it would be tricky just because there is private information in the database. Email of users who request that their email be private, real names from people who paid for KGS Plus, etc ...

So here's what joncol told me: He took the script down because it couldn't be used anymore because of the limitations that KGS has put on retrieving data. He said he has sent an email now to the admins to see if they can losen up these limitations or not.

I hope they can! Nope.

Oh, right, yeah, definitely use the Oracle Java. I've seen lots of problems from the other JVMs.

I run ubuntu and have no problems with the client freezing.

I do not run the client as root.

Nathan, can you attach a screen shot?

I haven't seen the photo myself, so I don't know exactly how embarrassing it would be. But I do know the one you are talking about.

Sweety is tough as nails! She'll give you nothing and make you glad to get it!!!

As for me, I'm not usually into quid pro quo but I can be blackmailed. If you ever manage to take a photo of me in a compromising position (e.g., playing chess), then you may have a deal.

I just had an Idea, what if the handicap (default, and for automatch) were calculated using the difference in rating instead of the difference in rank.

I'm "low" everything but "moderate" for schizoid and narcissistic.

In reality, I would say that the most likely mental issue for me would be something on the mild end of autistic/asperger's...but I guess that's a given for most people who are fans of something as nerdy and obsessive as go. (On ...

If not, I will let you reveal it.

No need to be a mystery - you solved it! It's mitdahand, AKA John Stephenson.

Is that old enough?

That would be the last 13 year old account. I figured you might get it if you saw this thread.

dfan had a very early account, but he let it expire. He has reopened the account several times, but his active account is from January 2010.

One of them is John Tromp. Was he an early beta tester?

Yup! If I remember right, he was also the first admin. He retired from that position long ago.

There are 672 active accounts that are at least 10 years old.

241 of those are at least 11 years old.

61 of those are at least 12 years old.

4 of those are at least 13 years old.

Of the 4 teenaged accounts, two are mine (wms and Admin). Let's see if you all can figure out who the other two are.
