I just picture it in my mother's talk about how ladies should keep their legs closed ... like "Now, Seven, you're getting to that age when older men start taking an interest in you, and you don't want to come down with a case of Slagboom, what would the neighbours think?!"
My favourite Dutch word is Slagboom
I'm not a fan of queens, however you and your opponent should go on a horse riding experience day together to remind you that the horsey is clearly the superior piece to choose.
Hum ... an android play-by-post version is just begging to be made!
When I was at school I used to enjoy playing oversize 3D tic-tac-toe, I imagine this could be similarly anarchic
What's it like to play? Interested parties want to know!
Thanks, I'll give this one the chop!
Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office ... I was gobsmacked because I'd been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.
I didn't have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.
Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.
It goes hand in hand with the "if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward" line of thinking.
My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a "junior technician" ... the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.
The server room was a complete rat's nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it's raid array. While it was in use.
It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.
A few months later I was "made redundant", leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.
It's a reality TV series where D-list personalities are dropped in the middle of the forrest and have to hike out without being eaten by bears.
