What to write about oneself?

Lived in the dark world until 1998, when I saw the light and took up Go.

It seems I will become an eternal beginner - I never seem to have as much time to devote to Go as I'd like. After a rocket career (?) from 30k to 10k in 2 years, I now seem to be around 8kyu in my local club, judging by my fellow players.

You may have seen my name on the [ext] FAQ for the newsgroup rec.games.go. Take a look if you want - comments welcomed.

Since this is a Wiki, you are of course welcome to amend the above and add all your praise/criticism you see fit.


Jan: Hi Morten, as your pahle at iway dot fr account doesn't seem to be working right now, I'll drop a line here - it is of interest to other SL deshis as well :-)

Anyway, the Go-FAQ as regularly posted on [ext] news:rec.games.go is beginning to get (slightly) out-of-date. For example the moving of Jan van der Steen's site to [ext] http://gobase.org hasn't been incorporated[1], some other links have died, some have changed and some very interesting new ones have appeared... (and I've heard rumours about the Chinese komi changing to 8)

Maybe it's time for a Go FAQ Revision? I'm willing to help out by converting the old version to a SL compatible format and updating the gobase.org links. And I'm sure other SL'ers would like to get their names and/or paws on the FAQ as well :-)


[1]: That's not very important right now, since the old addresses correctly refer you through, but who knows when that will change?

SAS: Looks as if it has changed already. The old URLs like [ext] http://www.cwi.nl/~jansteen/ just give a 404 now.

Hi Jan.

Address issue: The Go-FAQ posted to rec.games.go (last posted 05.04.2002) refers to gofaq@pahle.org.uk, no? Ah - I just noticed, there is one place at the very end where the address is not updated - I will change this.

As for the updates, you are right. I am ashamed to say that I have a (shortish) list of updates which should be done, but I have not gotten around to doing them. You will probably also notice that the forms for feedback on the igoweb site no longer work. In short, I am aware that I need to spend some time updating the GoFAQ. Although I have several xplanations on why this has not been done yet, there is no excuse :-)

As for making the FAQ an SL page, it's a thought which has occurred to me, but I am a little bit afraid to do so as readers do (and should) expect the FAQ to be more 'correct' than what we can guarantee here on SL.

I'd like to discuss if the Go FAQ on SL approach is viable before creating any actual FAQ pages.

Jan: As for the address: my bad! I took it from the igoweb site, instead of the address used for posting the FAQ. More on the new page.
