Four ball

Rugby All Blacks beat France again, 23-11 this time. The French had a much better game, the AB's were a bit sloppy in places, and the referee had a truly horrible game, but the outcome was never in doubt. The AB's at the moment are one of those "dynasty" teams who simply can't lose unless they beat themselves. The toughest task ahead will be to maintain discipline and a competitive edge in the run up to next year's World Cup.

Criminality I'm a bit late on this one, but as we all know a huge gambling bust with a peripheral poker connection took place last week. The main break through seems to have been getting a copy of the hard drive on which all the records were stored. Which, to my mind, demands the questions: a) why wasn't the hard drive encrypted? (with decryption software on a memory stick, kept in the alleged perpetrator's possession at all times, even when attending a wedding); b) why was the data on the hard drive in the first place? (data could also be on said memory stick)

PokerStars new schedule Has eliminated my beloved cluster of micro MTT's. So sad. Wound up playing a limit Hold'em tournament the other day by accident (small cash). Since I was already in an unfamiliar game, I decided to have some fun and played in an Omaha and a Razz tournament simultaneously. A somewhat mind-warping experience, but enjoyable, in an odd sort of way.

$4.40/180's Are very frustrating. The play is sooooooo bad, but I just can't seem to cash. Sigh.
