It's a small thing, but move 212 is one of those moves that you can really itch to play, but is really just a wasted ko threat.

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

But I wouldn't want to let Ed down, so I'm continuing 
Seriously, he's right - you never know what might turn up. Although I'm basically going to need to kill something that I have absolutely no right to (or live with J5, which, despite many desperate attempts in my reading, is sadly impossible in the cold light of day), if I'm going to somehow pull off a win here.
). In the end I went with this capture, which is fairly big in itself, and also may lead to some followups in the general area. Not that I can see anything concrete unless 1986 chooses to tenuki 2 or 3 times -

No problem about the delay, i had a busy work week w/o internet so i couldn't have made a move anyway, but the good news is now i have a brand new laptop w/ internet access so now i can stay on top of it
standing still means going backwards

, i really dont know where to play here i was thinking keep pressing the center but c17 is a pretty big point for black again, and this eliminates me having to worry about how to defend the 3-3 invasion, my last two moves have been just patching up my areas of worry, now im ready to attack! 
A few more of those, and I might be back in with a chance... (unless the 3-3 invasion actually worked for me, in which case I feel stupid as it's been there for ages. But surely there's no way I could have got anything in that corner other than outright death?)
