While I didn’t have any spectacular results recently, my results were stable and I reached my all time high GoR of 2454 (I came close to 2450 several times but never actually reached it).
What a pity I don’t live in Poland, I could already boast (undeserved) 5d rank.
To sum up my go career so […]

I am now officially a registered vim user.
There are several reasons:
I greatly admire Bram Moolenaar, the creator of vim and founder of ICCF Holland. Bram sends all the vim registration fees to Uganda to help local children.
I can now vote on vim feature requests.
And last but not least – I had some money stuck in […]

You might have seen my crazy ticket folding gallery.
Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Here are some of the latest, greatest and bestest tickets:
This ticket is currently my favourite, but you’d have to see it as a whole to really appreciate it, seeing from just one direction simply isn’t enough.
Another […]

KGS was founded in 2000 by William Shubert.
The first Czech on KGS was probably makov (registered on 3.9.2000).
I registered on 2.12.2001, I’m not sure how I got to know KGS, but I think I was told by makov.
I have no idea when I founded “Český pokoj” (the Czech room). It was probably later than in […]

“Little Feather McAbony” (the Czech title is “Dál než východ slunce”) is the title of a book written by Eran Kroband.
I got this book for Christmas, back in high school, a few years ago. And now comes the queer part - I don’t know who gave it to me.
In high school, we used to give […]

The other day I had an exam. It’s almost half of January, technically middle of winter, yet the temperature was around 10˚C in the morning. My one-hour walk to school was nice and helped me to relax before the exam. After seeing the test I was even happier, most of it was real easy. So […]

I will make it short this time:
Google didn’t confirm my click-fraud, because I didn’t engage in any. Google just confirmed that someone engaged in click-fraud (and if Frank is not stupid, he can find out who it was using his webserver logs).
I did not admit to using a pirated copy of Frank’s program. I have […]

Note: I usually do not edit my posts, but I feel the need to mention that there are probably many Franks de Groots who are nice people. Your Frank de Groot might be someone else than the one mentioned here.
Let me sum it up understandably and clearly:

Frank de Groot had a long history of swearing […]

This is very personal and I believe that anything I write here can be used against me.
I have first met Frank quite a long time ago. I sincerely tried to help him by providing comments to a game played by his program (I even said that it played very good fuseki). He misunderstood and thought […]

My hair started turning (I wouldn’t exactly call it curly). Let me describe it more accurately - the hair (especially on my forehead) first go more or less straight down and then, suddenly, it turns… left? right? no… it turns outwards… it’s totally the most stupid direction and it makes me look even more like […]
