and that was just the opening hands of those that played in the final round of world series of poker. wow. the kings trip'ed but down to the river the aces won out w/ a flush on the river. amazing round of poker. i love that game. it's rise in popluarity is astounding with the grand prize reaching $7.5 million. what stood out for me was that the final nine all appeared to be really classy folks. gracious loosers and such. can't hurt that each one of them is was at least an instant millionaire by simply pulling up a chair to the final table ... and, well, yeah ... beating out like 5.5k other folks in the running.

speaking of classy people ...

on the myjxta front, polo got full bidirectional ip cam support. it's good to have polo on the home team.

further, nano finished the first cut at the myjxta plugin api using polo's tic-tac-toe work as the reference use case. great work as this feature should ease and help accelerate future collaborative works.

time to start thinking about that poker plugin i've been mulling over for awhile now. hmmmmmmmm. that and bringing meerkat into the mainline to address half of the outstanding p1s will be a nice way to end the year.

it's cool to see dale here on bsc. one of the best projects i worked, one where i felt individually empowered, was a '97 gig in dale's group. good times. welcome aboard!

lastly, the roller folks have done a great job w/ the deployment on bsc. some nice features have been added as of late along w/ some nicely cleaned up admin screens. nicely done!
