Dear all, just a quick note to say a big thank you to Paul for helping us out in my absence. I'm back after a 3-month break and I'm working on trying to fix as many of the outstanding bugs as possible on the new site. Getting the correct technical resource for H2G2 right now during this time of significant upheaval is proving to be a challenge, but we are working on it. It's just taking time. There's a lot of change within the department. On H2G2 itself, one of us will be making the move to Manchester shortly starting a new role there, and the remaining one member of staff will be leaving the BBC, but not before the sale is complete. Incidentally, we're not personally involved in the sale so we genuinely don't have anything to tell you yet. When we do know anything, we'll let you know.

Just to reassure you, we will not be taking down Brunel or any of the old skins while H2G2 remains at the BBC. I also appreciate there's a backlog of Entries building up and that we're on one a week at the minute, but I'm sure you'll appreciate there really is a limit right now to what we can do. We really need to get as many of these oustanding bugs fixed as possible and that's where our focus is. We need to keep the site up and ticking over. And we need to make sure that whoever takes over H2G2 we hand it over to them in as helpful and orderly way as possible. We should also endeavour to resist as best we can that instinctive state of frantic fight-or-flight agitation commonly described as 'PANIC!'. As in don't.

Speak to you soon.

Sam

Dear Sam,

well what an auspicious day I have chosen to return. Thank goodness my memory held out for it.

Hope you enjoyed your break. So many wonderful people oon h2g2 - I have not been tempted to join any of the other two chat sites.

I do hope that the BBC are successful in helping to continue this site. It is a reall boon for those of us who are housebound, and approaching VERY OLD AGE. !!!


Sincerely yours,
AlsoRan80

Oooh, a move to Manchester! biggrin The new media stuff up in Manchester looks fantastic (I was up in the Quays for a Researcher's wedding not long ago; it was still being built but looked splendid).

Good to have you back, Sam. hug

A small quiz for Paul:
Have you been on h2g2 before ?
How did you like your stint with h2g2 ?
Will you be a regular on h2g2 ?

Just curious.

Thanks for updating us Sam and welcome back. As you can see many of us are still hanging in there and trying not to grieve for what we might lose sadface

As Christiane says, it means such a lot to so many of us. Fingers crossed there is a user friendly takeover at some stage.

Sam, any chance of fixing the bugs or whatever in Personal Spaces?

Glad the music is going well.
