It's CHESS!
I found a java app chess game that is freeware and I stuck it up here, so that no matter where I am in the world, I can whip out a quick game. The engine isn't all that strong, but my game is so rusty that it kicks my butt pretty much every time as it is. I hope to master it sometime soon, now that I have a regular opponent. The main reason that my game has slipped so much is my unreliable ability to commit to an uninteruppted period of time to play a game. Luckily this java app doesn't get upset when I have to bail in the middle of a game to go watch TV with my kid, or read him a story, or handle an emergency at work, or, or, or....you get the idea. :)

There is a testing ground, where I play with new concepts that I am just learning, but don't have down well enough to implement.

The things in Geek Stuff have already been tested - either by me or by some geek way smarter than me. This is a repository for things that I either found useful in my geek endeavors, or some clever piece of trickery that I tested and found worthy of inclusion in the Geek Stuff page.

We have added a Banner Farm! We occasionally get offers from people who would like to advertise on our Pure Pages. We, as Pure Geeks, severly disapprove of banner ads. However, we, as people with bills to pay, see the advantages of having someone pay us for the privilage of having their banners on our site. So....if we approve of the product, company, concept, people, or aura of the group asking for the above-mentioned privilage, we will indeed display their banners. But, rather than subject you to the obnoxiousness of banners without your full permission, we have created the Banner Farm! If you want to see which products, companies, concepts, people, or auras that we deem acceptable, feel free to check out the Banner Farm!
