According to the time on the Logs page, today is still February 13, but
earlier messages have already been posted with the date February 14. What
is going on? What time zone is this site really in? I thought it was PST,
which still has a few hours of February 13 to go.

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. ;)

Joe,

And here you go posting on Saint Valentine's Day! :-)

Embrace the geek-ness. And remember that dimensions are just a matter of 
 perspective. ;-)

Larry,

     We celebrated yesterday. I posted yesterday and the date stamp was
wrong. I'm retired, and I'm home today - my wife is at work, so that's
why. That's part of my retirement plan: I'm retired, and she works (for
another 202.8 weeks, but who's counting) so it's ok. Um, um, alright,
maybe my verbal slapstick isn't so good, but I'm much more ridiculous in
person... maybe the date stamp will be wrong, and you won't think I posted
twice on St. Valentine's Day - I take back my previous remark... ow 

Happy Valentine's Day to all, especially the newest member, Paloma.
