the only thing that will be noticable from the public side is a faster auto refresh rate, meaning that instant messenging should now be no problem. all the other changes are from the admin. side of the board. i can reserve names for people, turn off profanity filters, increase post lengths to 1000 characters and tags to 100 posts and a couple of other things. enjoy!

this is the longest i have gone without playing in about three years. the layoff didn't help any though, i played like crap. the wet course was no help (it has poured here the last couple of days, and it looked threatening through our whole round). i was hitting out of a water soaked bunker on the 3rd hole and slightly sprained my wrist getting the ball up and out of the goop. that and my bad back made for a pitiful performance. next week we have tee times for the new kunia golf course (actually the course has been there for 8 years, but has stayed closed due to legal fighting with the city) and i hope to get the game straightened out by then. hope springs eternal!
