h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good article - does Mensa@@e know about it yet?
Also, will there be any credits for suggestions?

I have been doing links for suggestions but I have been running out of spare time to draw them in. And then I keep going away for weekends and not having the time to up load new ones. I've got about 6 that I have finished including several of the Drinkies.

Really? I can't wait to see them

I still can't get the glass to look right for the vodka glass, But I think the beer one looks good.

Hi

You might find a link to the GuideML Clinic FAQ entry about smileys ( http://www.h2g2.com/A187355#SMILEY ) handy *hint* *hint*

;^)#

Cheers for that, do you know if they are going to expand the smiley library on the Guide?

I've seen hints that an expanded smiley library or possibly individual signature smileys/gifs might happen.

;^)#

Coo, time to get drawing. Hang on, mine wouldn't be overly flattering would it.

LOL - well I don't recall anyone mentioning that the pic had to be an exact pictorial equivalent of the name

And I have no idea what sizes or dimensions are involved - though I'd guess the WWW standard smaller is better would always apply

;^)#

Ooh I hadn't noticed this forum
Thanks for the link Bruce, I'll look at it now...
I've been trying to do drinkie smileys for a while, but can't get them right... tell me when you've posted yours, Menza@@e, thanks

While it's not really a smiley you might find this interesting/useful http://www.thescifivine.com/xi_data/Centaurus/people/Adams/Bruce/avatar/avatar000sm.gif

It's a from TDV original (StarShip Titanic) & only slightly mutilated by Honest Bruces Used JPGs

;^)#

OOoooohh.... pureed starlings!
I hadn't thought of using Starship Titanic stuff. Good idea... I've got the game, and I'll do some screengrabs.
As long as TDV don't mind...

You can find TDVs official view on copyright here http://www.tdv.com/html/heavy_legal_stuff.html - Don't Panic its not as hard to read as the name suggests.
It'd probably be a good idea to drop a line on Petas page ( http://www.h2g2.com/U24 ) asking if its OK

;^)#

I did that over the name of the F&F, it wasn't really an issue but I just wanted to be sure.

Yep they seem like a pretty understanding bunch. I'm not aware of any fan type things having any problems with TDV unless they were trying to make money out of it.

And its always best to ask.

;^)#

It was just that it was strangely reminicent of a popular chain of drinking establishments and I was worried about Copyright breaches.

Hi there - great Smilies!

Drinks smilies - I would be interested in these. I don't suppose you have got a pretzel smiley? I would be very interested in one of those. Or maybe a nice mince pie. Email me at [email protected] to talk about smilies - I am interested in the details.

Yes definitely will be extending - not sure exactly when but certainly yes.

Technically it could be bending the rules a bit, but I would turn a blind eye to this

Mince pies! Of course! (doh)
Has anyone got any other ideas for Christmas smileys?
