Domdaniel Member since Aug-11-06 · Last seen May-21-13 A distinct aroma of burning prevails. Fire and brimstone, probably, or one of the charred and singed chess sets in my possession. *Empty Space* I don't exist. Just like the Urban Spaceman. I am deeply suspicious of 'social media'. I don't want my computer to think it knows my 'preferences', and I don't want my personal details passed from hand to invisible hand, or soul to poison soul. But I'm sufficiently open-minded -- or innocent -- to trust in the integrity of Chessgames.com, and the good people who run it. Note: some folk may be more familiar with the kind of bio/profile that goes "Muh name is Peregrine Ng and ah play Bullet at PhyringRange.com and ah come to CG for thuh crab sandwiches..." ... sort of thing. This isn't one of those. In fact, it was never really *written* at all ... more like 'left behind' after repeated moves. The fragments that remain intact have withstood years of deletions. Quite like me, really. "A medium amputates the organ it extends". - Marshall McLuhan "I go without saying". - Me, or somebody like me. <The Game and Playe of Cheffe ...> "Chess is a sea in which a shark can persuade a seagull to eat its skin parasites..." "Chess is the art of cartesian coordinates with obsessive compulsive disorder..." "Chess is the science of naughty molecules." "Chess is sport for the disembodied." "It is what it is." "Except when it isn't." <'His calmness, his authority in all circumstances! In a chess game he would win everything, merely by his nerves.' 'But he was not playing chess,' Smiley objected drily.> (John Le Carré) I'll say it again, though I can't recall saying it before: < Empathy is essential to any kind of intelligence worth having.> Although I seem to have some kind of attention surplus disorder. On planet Earth (where most chess games so far are believed to have been played - Science Officer Chamitoff vs NASA Ground Control, 2008 and Soyuz 9 Cosmonauts vs Ground Control, 1970 are among the exceptions): 1. Brian Eno: "Another green world." 2. William Burroughs: "I don't want love - I don't want forgiveness - all I want is *outta here* --" <A Phormer Phrontistery ... Frogspawn ... 20,000 Lashes ... A Phrontistery ... Phrogspawn ... Philoxenia ... Antarctica Starts Here ... Epigamic Ephebes ... Waxwing's Wah-wah Rabbits ... Opposition & Sister Squares ... Cosy Moments will not be Muzzled ...> A dictionary helps. As does Modern Chess Openings. Encyclopedias, whether wiki, text-based or fictional, have their place. But for a good knight's sleep try a bed, futon, hammock or some of my writing. Avoid Gerry McCarthy "Brutality is out of date." - Aron Nimzowitsch "Keep violence in the mind where it belongs." - B.W. Aldiss "Combinations and chemistry are your only men." - Er, <me>? <"I used to be somebody else, but I traded him in."> M. Antonioni "Chess is a marvelous piece of Cartesianism, and so imaginative that it doesn't even look Cartesian." - Marcel Duchamp [reconstruction always in progress, please excuse noise, no refunds, no discounts, no hawkers, no spitting] So what am I doing here? Simple: I like to play *with* chess... <Writing, unlike chess, is a victimless crime.> "J'ai une maladie: je vois le langage." - Roland Barthes <More First Person Gibberish>: Fischer-Dylan Syndrome: <"You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way">. Favorite Opening: The French, naturellement. After 30-odd years, I think I'm starting to understand its benthic deeps. Well, I had it for a moment ... seems to be gone again. Basta. Enough chess, it makes my head spin. Anyone who has lingered in my forum (Frogspawn, Philoxenia, 20,000 Lashes, Antarctica Starts Here, usw) knows that much of the conversation isn't about chess at all, or even lingerie. I'm interested in *stuff* -- arts and sciences, shoos and sheeps and ceiling wicks, kibitzers and King Kong vs Gojiro in Dronning Maud Land. I like to make connections. I like people who make connections. Bad puns, bad languages, bad breathing, bad breeding, psychological insights, literary allusions, surrealist manifestos, or the sound of one hand stentorating. I'm not going to name any of the people who make CG so much fun. You know who you are, O my droogs and Zapkinder. One last chess snippet. I have never, in my entire life, played either side of a Spanish/Ruy Lopez in a serious game. I'm a Spanish Virgin. There, you knew I was a pervert, didn't you? <- - - - - - - - - - - - - - <From <Gravity's Rainbow> by Thomas Pynchon: "Queen, Bishop and King are only splendid cripples, and pawns, even those that reach the final row, are condemned to creep in two dimensions, and no Tower will ever rise or descend -- no: flight has been given only to the Springer!"> - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Whatever you find in books, leave it there. - John Cale Know anything about chess? It can be a virtual life work, and what is it to absorb all a man's thought and energy? - William Burroughs I am not the only one who writes in order to have no face. - Michel Foucault ChessGames.com Statistics Page Biographer Bistro CG Librarian chessforum User: chessgames.com PGN Upload Utility Chessgames Present Hunt Clues Page FEN reverser (courtesy of <ajile>): http://www.zbestvalue.com/ChessFENR...

May-21-13 Annie K. chessforum    Domdaniel: "Too many sam cooks spoil the euphoria", eh? Hi, A. I've been offline so long it feels like up to me ... um, I mean it feels normal. Takes time to readjust, but I'll get back in the cg swing of things eventually.      May-21-13 Domdaniel chessforum    Domdaniel: <Alien Math> Yes indeed.

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 859 OF 859 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-07-13    Annie K.: Back online, apparently. Iz gud. :) Here's a LOL I made a couple of years ago, as a welcome-back gift - it's relevant to an anecdote you told me... you'll see. ;) http://cheezburger.com/2870762240 Mar-07-13    mckmac: Good to see you back Dom, this place is not the same without you, and speaking of cheese, this is almost 'The Fondue Set'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WSS... Mar-08-13    Domdaniel: <Annie> Aha, the Tale of the Scarfomorphic Feline. Mine was named either Sprog or Jennifer. The cat, not the scarf. Mar-08-13    Annie K.: Heh. Looks bloody cute, I don't think any of mine ever tried that. Although the considerably warmer climate may have something to do with the apparent regrettable lack of local Scarfomorphic Felines - evolution may not have favored this tendency at +30°C... ;s Mar-08-13    Domdaniel: Hmm. Now here's something mildly diverting... I thought I'd check out Bach on Youchoob, as interpreted by Glenn Gould ... http://youtu.be/UGPJDgp2-9A And who should turn up among the bitchy comments but an old CG acquaintance ... one Daniel 3.14159 ... who once said "Die, Old Man" to me. Clever, that. Mar-08-13    Annie K.: Yeah, the bitchily inclined do gravitate to YT, as they used to to Yahoo, and other such unmoderated "social" cesspools. It's a small world, innit. Too small, sometimes. Mar-08-13    hms123: <Dom> Have you read anything by <Gene Kerrigan>? I just got a copy of <The Rage>. Mar-19-13    Domdaniel: <H> I *know* Gene K ... nice guy, brilliant writer ... former cinema projectionist (hard-boiled) and journalist, writes a mean thriller. Mar-19-13    hms123: <Dom> I finished <The Rage> about a week ago and really enjoyed it. If I move to Ireland will I be able to write like he does? Bet not. Mar-19-13    Domdaniel: <H> Nah, nobody writes likes Gene. But moving to Ireland can do wonders for your shagging vocabulary. "Shagging? Snogging? What *are* these, some kinda rodent sex words?" Mar-19-13    hms123: <Dom> This kind? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVQz... Or this kind? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV9W... Apr-02-13    vwllssknght: Hey, Domdaniel, I see that you mentioned a zine by the name of Zilch in one of your comments. Would that, by chance, by the comic zine that was published in Ireland in the early '80s? I'm a longtime collector of Irish comics and am writing a reference guide to them. If you wouldn't mind answering a few simple questions to help me fill in the blanks, I would appreciate it! You can e-mail me at comixbible@gmail.com Apr-04-13    hms123: <Dom> I just finished <Borderlands> by Brian McGilloway and am now reading <Gallows Lane>. The books are quite good. May-18-13    Domdaniel: OK, I'm kinda back, testing whether my connection works ... May-18-13    Annie K.: Yep!!! :D May-18-13    OhioChessFan: Have you seen a doctor about it? May-18-13    Annie K.: Oh, <Ohio>, you ask the mostest appositest questions! :D Or, in other words... User: tank User: euphoria User: inquiry ;) May-18-13    dakgootje: Welcome back dom :) May-18-13    N0B0DY: Why are we here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for <Dom> to come. May-18-13    hms123: Waiting for <GDomO>. I knew he'd be here sometime soon. May-19-13    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Yes, ackshully, I have. But the doc isn't saying anything. May-19-13    Domdaniel: <H> 'Soon' is, of course, a relative term. The sun will burn out 'soon'. I'll be back a little after that. May-19-13    Alien Math: Glad to note your return <Domdaniel> :) Have find any neat books since? May-21-13    Domdaniel: <Alien Math> Yes indeed. I suggest Equations of Life, and Theories of Flight by Simon Morden, plus a couple of later sequels. May-21-13    Annie K.: OK, in case you need a restarter topic, "what are your first impressions* upon returning to cg after all this, I mean brief of course, time?" * Should you feel any tweezerish urges, don't bother to resist them. ;) Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 859) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 859 OF 859 ·  Later Kibitzing>		Bobby Fischer Tribute Shirt
