Subject: Re: Problem solved

southafrikanse: Yes, that's how the web works.

I've just made a connection speed test again and all tested nodes (about 60) are showing less than 1 second response time, except 3 or 4 anomalies.

By the way, something strange might be going on in Dallas (Texas, USA). The test includes two nodes in this location. One of them shows 0.89 seconds and the other one 10.17 seconds. Quite a big difference, huh? I would not be surprised if they have routing problems as well.

Fencer: I don't think I would have joined if BK only had games without timeouts - games wouldn't finish then, would they?

Anyway, I would be perfectly happy if you said "if you have a tendency to move close to your clock running out, do so at your own risk. If you lose a game because the site was inaccessable, too bad. Use longer times/move, move earlier, or don't complain. Except for excessive downtime, clocks will not be stopped". If I were in charge, I wouldn't 'stop time', unless the site was unusable/down/unreachable for at least 24 hours.

Fencer: Thank you. Question though, since the tournament was created with no additional days to wait till a minimum number of players has signed up, how come the tournaments for 2 of the games have been postponed? Some (unintended?) side effect of people not having enough tournament slots signed on? It doesn't really matter to me that it happens, it just surprises me.

Subject: Traceroute

If someone still thinks that BrainKing is slow for them, please send me a private message with your traceroute output. On Windows, open the command line (Start / Run ... / cmd), type "tracert brainking.com", copy and paste the output and send it to me. I will pass it to ISP, so they can analyze it and find out which of their routers is malfunctioning (if they didn't fix it yet).

Subject: Re: BrainKing

AbigailII: I think 12 to 15 hours would be a more reasonable time period, since if you happen to live on a time zone, where those 12/15 hours would be all of the time that you were awaken, that would be a complete un-playable day (plus 6 to 8 hours of sleep, before and after that 15 hour period)

El Cid: Well, then don't play games with a less than 1 day/move, or accumulate a bigger buffer (if playing with a Fisher Clock).

Can someone explain to me how I can get all my games with the least amount of time to play(til time out) to show up at the top of my game list on my main page?

Hrqls: I have just used that one to translate DeaD man WalkiN's sentence (Dang my translator does not have Czech. And I don't think Russian is not the same.) and it spat this out: "Nebezpečí má překladatel does ne mít Čech. A JÁ don't cenit Rus is ne člen určitý týž."
Translated back into English (this time by me), it means "Danger has translator does no to have a Czech. And I don't appraise the Russian citizen is no certain member the same." Now go figure.

Subject: i.brainking.com?

I have trouble with the refresh: after a couple of good refreshes of the main page, I get one that stops at "connecting to i.brainking.com", The firefox "loading" symbol for the tab just continues to spin and nothing happens. If I stop and refresh manually, the load terminates correctly. I have this behaviour on both windows and linux with FF 2.5.2. Anyone else?

Subject: i.brainking.com

Correction: even when I refresh manually (F5), I stay stuck at "waiting for i.brainking.com". I succeed in loading only if I click on "Main page". I'm not sure if the browser talks to 'i.brainking" when clicking on "Main page".
