What I Used to Waste Time Doing

23rd May 2008

I’ve done a good job of keeping my vow of avoiding online chess servers, but I somehow spent some of my time (that I currently have too much of) reminiscing about the days when I was always online and a lifeless volunteer staff member. Good times in the SR and TM channels (service representative and tournament manager). Before college, those two channels were the most corrupting influence in my life. I guess I had a little fun wasting my life while I was in high school.

Somehow I have a saved convo from me accidentally aborting an important tournament.

    Oh Claire, I saw this on Facebook and just had to read on. I have also been reminiscing as of late–Angel’s old site is back up with some new material on Ratings Manipulation. This makes me want to get my old laptop out and check out the logs on it.

    What is Angel’s site anyway?
