Now that I have to look after my little son it's become difficult to find time for the site and most other hobbies, though I still manage to add something every couple weeks or so. >Tried to run Kiwi this morning, but after it starts it doesn't receave winboard >commands and also in console mode I can't type anything in it. :( The logfile >stays empty too. Any idea what it could be? (old computer with win98, maybe >because of memoryswapping Kiwi thinks it has too little on startup or so?) The version linked from the programming page doesn't work for Win98 and I forgot to update the link. Version 0.1c should work with Win98 and at least 64Mb of RAM: http://www.ascotti.org/programming/chess/chess.htm >I'll try some of your programs and games during the week. I already took a look >at online Yawn, and it seems a nice and probably addictive game, once I figure >out all the buttons and how it works. :) Yeah, sort of poker with dice... *very* addictive, at least for a while... I think I have played hundreds of games over the years! You'll probably find several other versions around with names like Yahtzee, Yacht and so on... maybe those explain the rules better, I remember I struggled a bit with that piece of English! >Do you perform with your juggling and magic interests? I don't perform prefessionally, just for friends and family sometimes. I kinda like the idea of setting a goal and study and practice to reach it, and both fields provide very interesting and never-ending challenges. Besides, conventions are a great place to meet people, make friends and often drink more than your daily share of beer! :-)
