Post subject: | GoGoD Summer 2013 |
I have taken a short break from burning disks so that I can announce that the Summer 2013 update of the GoGoD database is on its way. There are a total of more than 77,000 games with over 1,000 from 2013. Delving back in history, we have discovered a further 17 games of Hashimoto Utaro, 12 games of Kitani Minoru and 11 more of Go Seigen to add to their "Complete" collections. If you wish more information, or wish to order, please contact me at tmark@gogod.demon.co.uk, or check out our website, address below. Best wishes. |

You know what, TMark? You should team up w/ Anders Kierulf (of SmartGo fame) and create iGoGoPad, I’d immediately purchase Greetings, Tom |

But it’s only the game records and not the complete GoGoD, I’d also love to have all the background articles, etc. For me, like for you, Go is not just about the game and winning and getting better at it.Nevertheless I’ve PayPal’d you the money for GoGoD 2013 just af ew minutes ago, partially hoping that my little contribution might give you a little more leeway for thinking about iGoGoPad but without any expectations (I mean: no obligations). But as I wrote to you privately, perhaps an inclusion in Anders’ SmartGo Books might be easier and would do the job just as well (though I really like the name “iGoGoPad” ) Greetz, Tom |

Money have been sent via Paypal then EDIT: I haven't "ordered", just sent money via paypal immediately but it consists of my name and address, so I guess it is enough? |

I have my disk for Summer 2013, and am very happy with it. The only problem is that the suggested method of "installation" is to copy all the files from the supplied DVD on to a hard drive. When I tried this using Windows Explorer, the program told me that it would take nearly 5 hours to complete the copy. The reason so much time is needed seems to be that Windows uses several optical drive head movements to find and copy each file, and there are more than 78000 small SGF files on the DVD. An equally simple approach on another computer running Debian Linux turned out to be equally slow. Not wanting to thrash my optical drives for that length of time, and possibly risk damaging the DVD, I found a way of efficiently copying the whole DVD on to the Linux computer's hard drive without thrashing the optical drive, and it was then easy to copy the SGF files to the Windows computer via a USB memory stick. The details are hidden below. Does anyone know a good Windows-only solution? Hope this helps somebody. |

I call for a non-disk-based distribution. A downloadable archive or something. Perhaps Games of Go on Tar would be its name... or just GoT - Go Tar. I do, however, think that spending effort on something like an app. targeting an i-Device would be a huge waste. If you want to copy the content onto a device, there are plenty of existing apps to read PDFs and SGFs and other standard file formats and and app would only lock you into that platform. |

Open that file in a virtual drive (e.g. by using Daemon Tools) and now copy everything on your harddrive - took me around 3 minutes. |
