Low on mental energy

I have been very away from this blog for a month or so. OK, in some respect travel have been taking away my time for writing. But it is more like a low on mental energy. Have no energy to have any thoughts about anything. It feels really annoying.

So, to show I am not dead I just going to tell you that my result in Jusandan 2009 did make my ranking in the European Go Database go up. And also, at the moment my ranking at Dragon Go Server is up too. So my go skills seem to grow, somehow.

I just which all the programming and stuff would go as well. But there has been no time. And all the time I have had I spend on some stupid compiler setting. And it is still not working. And the stupid thing is that I have the solution at home but do not want to wait until I get home. I should do something productive instead and solve the compiler issue when I get home. I was just planning to get a new version of php-arapi out on this trip, since I was getting some time to program.

Jusandan 2009

This years Jusandan tournament was little bit different. Only 5 games in 2 days compared to what I am used to, 6 games in 3 days. But it was OK. Same time for the games and everything. It was 2 years since I last played in a tournament. And actually like 2 years since I played in real life. Jusandan results can be found here.

I am still ranked to low. So I always end up in the strange low end pairing. So even if I win 3 out of 5 games it will probably not change my ranking at European Go Database since 2 of the wins was against to 'easy' players.

But anyway it felt nice to get to play for real again. To really concentrate and think about the game. I did not record any of the games. I guess now I have to get one or two games at KGS in the next couple of months to keep the feeling up.
