I was going to type up roughly two paragraphs of background information before giving the link, but two paragraphs turned into ten, and then I realized I had spent over half an hour basically being nostalgic and felt really stupid. So if you want all the gory details (or you're utterly lost as to why I seem to be dating about five guys at once, which I'm not--I don't even have a boyfriend, just an ex that I'm still friends with, by some miracle--anyway, yeah, you get the idea XDD), yell at me on the soonest possible Thursday.

Long story short: Mrs. Stafford used to have a student forum up on Blackboard, but she deleted it, so AJ Santangelo made one on Proboards, except then he moved to Ohio, and he made me admin because I post too much on there, and then we opened it up to other grades instead of just sophomores (freshmen at the time), and now I'm telling you this so that you can meet people and develop a social life in case you're a mini-me and don't have one at the time or something along those lines. Sorry that I just completely put my grammar Nazi title to shame and posted the worst run-on sentence in the history of telodendria (yeahhhh, I've been studying biology too much lately :]), by the way.


Edit: Oh, right, forgot to mention--register with your first name and last initial; you can change it later, but we MSTers are stalker-paranoid and won't approve your account otherwise. ^^

OK, MST CC members, I guess I'll be the first to post something actually worthwhile here (unlike the demented ramblings of my daughter ...).  I have not experimented at all with this site yet, but it would appear that we can post content of value, and I'm hoping we can post documents to download (Cam, do you know if that's possible?).

If so, I can use this space to post my handouts etc. so you can all have easy access.  I can also post games, diagrams, and other things like that which I've used in class.  I'll try to slowly do that, as my time allows.  For example, it would be nice to post the Paul Morphy game that we went over last week.

 Oh, it occurs to me that that isn't actually necessary.  Just go here and you can view the Morphy game move-by-move in a Java applet:

If any of you want to play me here sometime, we could do that too.

Dad, you fail at life. My ramblings are /eccentric/, NOT demented.

I'm pretty sure you can post handouts here, but I don't know how.  I don't think you can download them from here, but there is a site called www.megauploads.gr that you can upload files to and just give us the link for it.  I'll ask Erik how to post documents on the forums (besides copy and paste).

 

By the way, if you want to post information and handouts, you can start a new forum topic for it, just to make it easier for other members to know what the topic is.  Once you're in the UCMST profile, click on the "Go to UCMST Forums button" (right underneath the Forum Activity bar) and click "Post New Topic."

I saw a question that Cam asked in another forum about where you might be able to print a chess score sheet without buying them.

 I found this site a long time ago and bookmarked it.  You all might like to know about this:

I sent you all an email, but I'm going to put my club materials on a blog here. 

Monitor http://blog.chess.com/kurtgodden for this.
