Oh, wow. Not only have CafePress cleaned up their terms of service to
make them more rights-friendly, but now they’re working on a book-on-demand
service with no minimum run or set-up fee. Crazy!

A hilarious parody of the hundreds of tiny micromanagements involved in
running an online multiplayer game is over at k5. A highly amusing excerpt from Blizzard
Chess:
Patch 1.04
The Rook units are severly underused, only coming into the game late or,
in some games, never. In order to rectify this, we have given the Rooks
a special ability. From now on, given that a Rook and the corresponding
Rook Pawn have not yet been moved, a player may simultaneously play P-R4
and R-R3. This should get the Rooks into play and restore balance to the
Chess units.Patch 1.05
Nobody is using the new Fast Advance ability of the Rook units, due to
problems with the Bishop fields of fire blocking the Rook entry points!
In order to rectify this imbalance, positions of Bishops and Knights
will be reversed at start. This small change should not interfere with
the strategies of experienced players, and will provide a much better
game.
