There was a meeting earlier this month with all canoepolo clubs to decide on next years dates and competition.
They decided to keep the really messed up competition format (check the Canoepolo mess in Belgium post earlier this year). It was expected ... it seems that all the responsibles are big fan of the system, just not some of the players in first division. Oh well.

But there was, again, some messing up done with the organisation. Usually, they demand a list of dates from the clubs on which they want to organise a competition day. Then they pick 4 (or how many they need) dates/clubs and let them organise the competition day. That's a great system, and has worked well.
Not this year ...
They just picked 4 dates (not looking at the submitted dates) and then checked who was on their list to organise something on that date ... That's ridiculous.
Clubs like KNRS who submitted "entire September" as date obviously had a bigger chance to be picked.
If they are going to do it like that, we as a club shouldn't submit any dates, they should just pick the 4 dates and ask what clubs are interested on those dates ...
Gekko has no date for next year as a consequence, we were never taken into consideration because we didn't submit an application for the selected date.

After seeing the movie BenX, I started playing Archlord. It's been a while now and I'm getting the hang of the game.
If you would like to join us (my girlfriend is also playing), download the game for free and make a character on the Gaiahon server, that's where we play.
I currently have a level 19 archer and level 14 elementalist. I like the archer the most.

Seems I'm not going to Canada next year.
Price for canoepolo players going there was around 1800 euros for just a week, adding 2 extra weeks to that would make it a big amount. So we decided not to go there and just go snowboarding instead.
End of January we'll go to France to board the hills ...

I decided to make a challenge for myself.
It involves making a decent amount of money from online webpages. I'm a member @ Squidoo, a site to make webpages with affiliate programs and AdSense advertising about a subject you choose. The setup of the site makes it easy to become well ranked in Google and generate some nice traffic to those pages...
The challenge is to make $500 / month by the end of 2008.
You can track my progress on the challenge blog or get a more detailed view on the challenge.
