If you haven't caught ZoomDown, it streams live on youtube every Monday and Thursday at 8pm.
Tomorrow's looks to be a cracker, with current champion Zubair Patel (1 win 130 points) taking on Stephen Read in the first game of the night. The winner then has the the daunting task of facing one of my personal favourites, Elliott Mellor. Good luck to all three of you!

C4C just became relevant again!
(btw, Paul and Ben, and anyone else who cares... my ISP finally did whatever jiggery pokery was required to unblock this forum on my wifi!)

It was clearly the overdue ZoomDown post what fixed it
You enjoyed the stats last night I saw

James Rowan has written a program to generate the letters with the right distribution which was used yesterday, so many thanks to him for that.

ZIGGY (ZoomDown's Ingenious Generating Gizmo Yoke) could get a run out tonight if Apto remains down.

I assume Apto's tired after last night's exertions.

Must have been! But excellent work by Sir Charles to get it up and running again so quickly
