Plans
I know I’m not really in the position to make a lot of plans for my time now. With a baby on the way in just about a month, I really don’t know what my schedule will be like this summer (aside from “busy”). I do want to plan a few things go related, though…
There are the long term software projects I’m involved in, mainly Ultimate Go Server, but also a Tsumego interface I’d really like to see get off the ground (and learn some Java at the same time). These two are definitely the lowest points on the totem pole, though! I don’t even know much Java - just hoping I can get by with some already created libraries!
I’d also love to play some games IRL! I missed the last Massachusetts Go Association handicap tournament and I’ll be missing the next one (which is THIS Sunday - I would have gone, but my parents will be here for the weekend). One of the things I think is essential is this potential RI Go Association. Although the size of it will pale in comparison with the MGA - now that we have 3 players in Rhode Island I think this thing might get off the ground! Perhaps some coffee-shop play will make the club grow even more. For now it seems like a regularly scheduled time to play informally once a month (or even every two weeks) is best. I should be able to get out of the house this much, at least.
I met up with MrShin and Koreangirl8 on KGS last night - played both of them 
It’s fun to play weaker players (and high handicap games are helpful teaching all of us). I definitely need more practice with handicap games!
Hopefully meeting up every few weeks will work well! Time to plan.
