It's traditional to write stuff about myself here, isn' t it? Hello and welcome gentle reader I may have gone to lunch, but there will be a part of me that is forever hootoo. Unfortunately, that bit seems to have gone to lunch as well. In a different restaurant. If you want to email me... MrsZen42 at gmail dot com; sometimes Google forwards it to me.

Congratulations all round from Mrs Zen (Aug 21, 2012)I was delighted when we won the bid that h2g2 landed in the safe hands of Robbie and the Larholms; and now the vision is fully realised as the Community joins them as part of Not Panicking Ltd with a real say in the future direction of NPL as a business. I don't think anyone thought it would take an entire year to set up Field Researchers Ltd, but it did, because the people setting it up were determined to make absolutely certain-sure they got the structure right. They were grappling with company law, corporate governance and all sorts of other unfamiliar and complicated stuff, and fitting it in amongst their other h2g2 volunteering, their day-jobs, their families, their real lives. So kudos to them for sticking it out over such a long journey. I am in awe of the resilience and commitment of those involved. Being part of establishing h2g2 in its new form taught me a huge amount, it gave me the real privilege of working with and learning from Robbie for a start, and the delight of knowing the Larholms. The experience changed all sorts of things in my professional, social and personal life, and I've grown as a result. The founding of FRL is the final piece in the jigsaw, and knowing its in place, and with the checks and balances needed to make sure it always represents the best interests of the community it springs from, makes it possible for me to let go and move on. So, Happy Nerd, Pastey, Lanzababy, Milla, Sol, and all of the volunteers - well done. You have each in different ways done an astonishing job. And now that you are taking h2g2's Community forward into the future, let me wish all of you the best. Let me also raise a glass in h2g2's traditional toast which includes our thousands of former researchers - members of the Community all - and remember "Absent Friends". And now I shall misquote W B Yeats: "we have spread our dreams under your feet, tread softly because you tread on our dreams". That's it from me. There's an email address on my personal space, and I'm on Facebook. Good luck, everyone. Exciting days ahead! Have fun!

They would brew every cup to take away in a pot for three minutes. They introduced me to teas I had never heard of. They are non-corporate good guys in their 40s who were fighting back the starbuckification of the planet. I'll miss their tea-shop; I'll miss them.
