I have recently purchased a netbook for the purpose of entering my bowling on BowlSK at the lanes using the wireless network there, and I went to the lanes tonight at my usual winter league time in order to test the wireless setup out. I was worried that the signal would be weak as you get to the high end of the center (towards lane 62), so my first test was to see if I could connect to the wifi at the 61-62 pair, and found I could, as I was able to post on Facebook and one of my forum sites. A lot of the time before bowling was showing friends the data entry screen of the site, which I was only able to tell them that I did that at home after bowling until tonight. As a final note about this, there was a glitch with the site early in Game 2, but I had my pen and paper note sheet ready as a backup, and once the problem with the site cleared up, I was able to catch up while I was waiting to bowl. In the future, you might like to check my series on BowlSK.com as I’m bowling, as it’s now “almost live” scoring…just remember to refresh the page periodically. 😀
My Week 8 bowling, frame-by-frame (Link to series on BowlSK)
Tonight had a little bit of everything, and was “par for the course” for me lately. I missed the exact same number of single pins and multi-pin spares in the same number of chances in each category. I had a couple of doubles in Game 2, but I still find it difficult to get a good run going; it should be noted I’ve only had one game over 200 so far this summer: that in the first week.
Result: 173-180-166=519
Average (24 games): 172
Average for last 9 games: 178
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 535
No one on my team had either a really good or a really bad night, but Louis Larry on the other team had a good night, which helped carry his team to a sweep.
