May be botting the beginning again because of football game. Game is in town though, so shouldn’t have a problem with a lost bus driver. ---

the software has an API - next time I’m bored, I’ll cobble together a web page where you can look up tournament results, hand history, and chip counts. ---

fubbs, in case you didn’t know, MAVENS crashed at least twice during the game on Thursday. And look at me, in the Peeker DFL position. Yikes. ---

Considering all the wailing and gnashing of teeth that our previous hosts caused, Poker Mavens ain’t doing too bad. fubbs, would it violate our license for you to send me a copy of the server software? Not to change hosts, I’m just curious to see how it works. ---

Yikes. **Are we going to be ok for this week?** As it turns out, Japan had two internet terminals in the lobby, 10 minutes for 100 yen\*. Which would have been 15 bucks or so. If I had more time in Japan [I was only there for 5 days, and even at that, I Was rushed in what I figured I could do.] I probably would have given it some thought. Even with the time difference being closer to 12 hours. - I got converted at 1 dollar to 78 yen. Then again, remember that 100 yen is the rough equivalent to the dollar. 100 yen shops being a “Dollar Store”. ---

Not to change hosts, I’m just curious to see how it works. That’s a good question, but one you’d have to ask **asterion** Also, I’ve been having some serious internet issues this week, so apologies in advance if the connection slows (more than usual) or dies completely. ---

and sorry once again folks. but as a lot of you know i am a “roadie” for my kid’s marching band (schlepp stuff all over sotex). the week before last was our last thursday night game. but then we had regionals and made state. so we had practice on thursday. i like you guys a lot but it’s the first time her school has made it to state in 6 years and as a freshman i couldn’t pass the opportunity to be fully involved. and no band from our region has made it to state finals in over thirty years so my priorities have shifted a bit. at least for the next 4 days. ---
