As long as it is in the garage for storage that's OK with me. If it is an Automotive Repair shop and I have to learn to fix cars then that is not so good. I hate fixing cars. I only do my own because I can't afford the $80/hr plus parts that mechanics charge.

Ken, do you allow me a personal question ?
Do you ever sleep ???
Are you playing at chess 4am in New York ???
And you don’t have to play that fast !
Your last move loses a pawn (if I did not miscaculate).

**Ken Hinds** · December 30, 2000, 15:27

Julius,

My "day" starts at about 2300 and runs quite often until 1400 or so. During weekends it it is pretty much non-stop, with 3 or 4 breaks of about 4 hours each to sleep.

When I'm up and not working, I'm playing chess or Civ, writing code, doing research, or one of a variety of other solo activities. Being that I'm in Information Systems and on call 24/7 with a 10 min response time the answer to the bigger question is "No, I do not have a life."

By the way did you enjoy the skiing? I don't understand why you would be out risking your neck when you could be sitting down writing code.

Ken

PS I forgot to reply to your other comment. I find no problem with trading a pawn for a rook, if I've figured your next moves correctly.

Well, if this is the case, I definitely missed something BIG. I'm going to replay the moves on my chessboard to see if I am THAT WRONG as to lose a rook.
Boy, it would hurt !

Well, Ken, I hope that at least you get paid well for all this work ! An old school friend of mine is now a big surgeon. Gets lot of money but hasn’t got any time to spend it now. Hopefully, later on … May your situation be better and at least your work somehow interesting.
Me I cannot complain too much : I am a history teacher. Good holidays and useful job for the community. Of course, I am underpaid, working in a socially unfavorable area, and I go back home tired, with the problems of my students still in my mind, long corrections to do especially because some do not even know how to write French, and the next subjects to prepare. But all in all it is not too bad.
What is exactly an information system ? I don’t see what it is precisely ? On what do you inform people ? or is it newspapers ? Do you work on your own or do you have a boss who dares to make you works so much ? In Europe, it would not be possible to demand that much.
