Even then.

Sounds logical.

 

[hunter_le five]

Even then.

Hard to argue with that.

Sorry ChefRex, I retract my previous "you're gud".

Picked up Chessimo and Shredder for my iPad. My chess training regimen is mainly correspondence games (8 in progress), tactics training via Chessimo and Shredder, and playing over annotated master games (try to get in 3+/week). Whenever I get a chance to attend another OTB tournament, I'll be able to see how much difference it makes.

 

[LAHammer]

Seems that chess training kilt it quicker than photog speak.
Good job, Ace!

 

[Ace_Club]

I do my best.

 

[ChefRex]

I guess we'll just have to let it die

 

[hunter_le five]

Never!

Yea, but have you ever been cow tippin?

Yea, but have you ever been cow tippin?

Actually, yes.

Cows are surprisingly fast and agile.

 

[passedpawn]

Yea, but have you ever been cow tippin?

Yes/no. The cows turned out to be pissed off horses. My brother got stuck in an electric fence running away. We ended up in a cornfield shooting kernels at passing cars. A few of them stopped but you know it's impossible to find a body in a grown cornfield. Jim Morisson's doppelganger was with us that night. Good times in the midwest.

I'd really like to play in another large tournament. Thinking of the Chicago Open either this year or next. The atmosphere at those large tournaments is really nice.

 

[ChefRex]

Is this thing still on?

 

[hunter_le five]

Yes

 

[ChefRex]

Yes

Have you met Dar?

I only made it to 0:42, and already I wish I could unwatch that.

Horrifying isn't it!

KBS is super-rare!

 

[Fedora]

Someone should really get in touch with dar and invite him to join here. Let him know how popular he is and how we all await his newest reviews.

Then introduce him to Billy Klubb.
How could someone profess to give that much of a **** about beer and not homebrew? Dar, if you're here, speak up. We won't make fun of you. Well,I won't, anyway.

 

[Ace_Club]

Been running through a lot of tactics here. 100-200 per day.

Canon L series lenses are the sh1tz, but there's fast glass available elsewhere.

Anyone know of a good wide angle lens? Tamron? Sigma? I'd like to get down to 14mm-ish focal length. Fast. Prime would be OK.

I ended up buying this wide angle. Will be evaluating next week.

Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens for Canon Mount

Quoting yourself regarding camera talk. Ballsy move. That would typically kill a normal thread, but this one seems to have a life of its own.

 

[ChefRex]

Always ballsy to quote yourself but please let us know how it works out.

 

[passedpawn]

Always ballsy to quote yourself but please let us know how it works out.

Will do. Re: quoting oneself, it's like talking into a mirror.

 

[LAHammer]

Some people know all the tricks.

 

[Ace_Club]

Some people know all the tricks.

Yep. They're called prostitutes.

 

[Ace_Club]

Passed, you up for another game?

Let's go! You're white.

I've got family visiting in the AM, so I might be slower on the responses.

I usually only play people I'm sure I can beat, like children. But let's do it, at least I can't see you doing your victory dance once you've trounced me.

I promise I'll keep my queen back this time.

I thought you guys had a match going? Been sitting on the edge of my seat!

I thought so, too. Either this is a psychological trick he plays on the first move, or he's already realized the futility of trying to beat me.

Nope and true. Was in orlando for a few days with brother and his family doing parks.
