See forum members in action! I'll be running about putting out fires at the RDK Ultimate Internationals this weekend. Hasayfu will be shaking his lion booty. Ok, perhaps I should rephrase that since it sounds more repulsive than enticing. Whatever. We'll both be there. Hope you can be there too!

[GeneChing]

But don't worry. Next week is our TCEC double header. I'll be ttt-ing this again for that, of course.
