New Squash Category Started

As you may know from my About page I play squash. Although I am not as fanatic as the about page says, I try to play at least once a week.

I almost always play against my good friend Weieriama, also known as René Weijer. Unfortunately, he is better than me. I try hard, but apparently he tries harder, or he's just plain better.

How much better?? I don't know yet. Over the past couple of years, I think he won about 60 to 65 percent of the non-tie games. That leaves a meagre 30 to 35 percent for me. In a way, that's good, as it drives me to get better and turn the statistics around.

To keep track of the real figures, I created a little page in the Blogs section that keeps track of the number of games we played, and the result. In the left hand bar, you see a little chart that displays the number of won, lost and tie games (from my perspective). Right now, the statistic look OK: I won one, I lost one and one game ended in a tie.

Let's see how this changes over time....

Now, all I need to do is hook up the squash court to one of my public web services, so I don't have to manually keep track of the score ;-)
