About 8ish, Eastern Standard Time, New Year's eve, while I was waiting for
my wife to get ready to go out, I was looking at Hans Bodlaender's
pictures and 'variants' for what may be the world's cheapest (and
worst) chess set. They were so enjoyable I posted a comment about them
brightening up an otherwise quiet time in my evening. The date stamp
showed I was the first post on Jan. 1, 2005. It's one thing to announce
to the world you're a geek by designing a chess game that only you think
is 4 dimensional, but it's a whole 'nother thing to have the site
you're trying to gain some credibility on (and I'm sure this is not
helping) announce to the world that you've got nothing better to do at
midnight and beyond New Year's day than look at chess variants. While
this may be true - I've had much worse New Years' - it would be nice if
the date stamp were accurate. ;)
