About Me
- Name: transformation
- Location: Tacoma-Seattle, Washington, United States
Born in New Jersey and educated in New York, after practicing architecture, I lived in a zen temple in Korea, did a long stint on Wall Street as a Senior Broker, studied with a guru who lived with Maharishi in India, did a gigantic stint at a big box retailer in building materials. * Most recently was running a Cloud Computing start-up in NJ, but starting over here in Tacoma where people are very nice, and where--aside from out of mainstream urbanism--I love the weather. * Me? I try to be pretty straightforward in my conduct. In 2012 worked for a crazy big company, and wonder why, but what is it called, a market. * I am not easily forgotten. Vanity? Yes. But it is also true that the older I get, the less can I be ignored. I have things to say, and say them. Take it or leave it, I am who I am. I have paid my dues. I have done my time.

dude, I can tell by this post that you are obviously still bitter about the overwhelming critisizm you recieved after your "london accord" idea. and although i did enjoy seeing it... dude, you do need to let it go! come on man...are you truly in love with your own bitterness that you cling to it so? or as a wise man once said to me..."what irritation is a projection of our own introjection?" peace out bro
i like your point chessDog. i dont agree with all of it, but appreciate your comment... bitter? not hardly. disappointed. yes, of course. comments? i never read them, not one of them. it is in the past, and as you remind me, indeed. neverless, outage today disconcerting.
i have some nerve problems in my right hand, very disturbing. hand therapy tomorrow, after an EMG. nevertheless, i am left handed, so that part is good. i practice chess trying to relax my right hand as much as possible, and since chess can be stressfull, an interesting practice.
two days ago i got back to CTS, and intend to be at 97% sooner rather than latter, then we can see. i am electing to sacrifice rating, and see where this goes. of course, you lead the way. after five weeks ago, this is all fresh and alive, so much pleasure again... take care, dk
Hey man, one point I forgot to mention...I have to give you credit for the "last 200" bar graph that is back on CTS. I personally think it was all the stuff you stirred up that kinda kicked them in the ass to do at least something. Unfortunatly, I liked the other bar graph more which showed how many problems had been done that day. It made it easy to keep track if my enemies were on pace to gain ground on me in that categorie.
I must assume you intend to hit 97% with you alternate handle, correct? givin the relativly low number of tries on that handle i'm sure will be able obtain this very soon...IF you are MOST carefull! this of course is bad news for me because i will have to work many times harder now to keep you from surpassing me...WHICH I CANNOT ACCEPT! although i will take solace in the fact that your extra handle is just out of the top 20 in success % due to my newly formed extra handle!!! HAHA...see if you can guess which one it is.
cdog out
thank you chessDog. all very nice there.
i have severe nerve damage in my R arm, and need to minimize typing even with my L only as i do here, but can still do tactics with my L hand. please know youve been in my thoughts, wish you the best, and intend to write you hopefully meaningfully here in the days ahead, if you don't mind checking back again at a time convenient to you in a few days, please?
i promise.
i see a surgeon monday, it is that severe... years and years at a desk as a knowledge-worker have unfortunately nabbed me.
take care and thank you.
I am quite relieved to learn that you NEVER READ any of the comments about your "London Accord" initiative. But anyway, chessdog is right, you should let go. I was afraid that those comments had pissed you off - just as this remark of yours about your failure to read pisses ME off now.
