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

Hmmm.....

<BB<

What?!

I've never been archived before.

<BB<

I hope I was gentle with you then!

shazz

Oh yes I look forward to being archived more often

<BB<

Well, once you have your internet connection back, you know how to encourage that to happen.

shazz

Ah yes....
You know, I was thinking that I had something that could become part of The Post, yet there are a couple of minor technical difficulties...
You see, back in the early 90's I drew a series of comic strips called "Space Trek", based on the adventures of Captain Birk onboard the UFF Benterprise. On A4 paper. I think it would be great if they could be in the Post.
However, they were drawn on Landscape A4, so when scanned in, would not fit neatly on a page. You would also need to have them at the highest colour resolution possible to be able to see them, as they have quite small detail, so where I to e-mail you one of them, the file would be so big you would be unlikely to cope with it in your inbox, and so it wouldn't be practical to have on H2G2 in the long run anyway...
But if you want, we could give it a try.
Most are on 2 A4 sheets, so could be 2-part adventures. If you can get them scanned in, you'd enjoy them.

Sounds good to me Bb

If you wait a few days I should have my .com email back and the problems with hotmail will be a thing of the past - plus I will also have webspace to mess about with - plus Pastey's new Post site would also be able to cope with this sort of thing.

shazz

Okay, if you think you can handle it.
Let me know when you'd like it, and what address for me to send the first one to.
But don't say I didn't warn you!

<BB<

shazz

I better ask what zips you can handle, I imagine the standard ones like PKZip and Winzip.
Otherwise I'll be unable to post them!

<BB<

Are you still receiving the Post emails? You can try out Pastey's Post site now!!!

No, well, the University deleted my old e-mail account, alas...
I wouldn't mind signing up - [email protected]

<BB<

What's the password etc.?

<BB<

Hmmm

I can't se you on the list! I'll contact Pastey and ask you to add you and let you know
He will also need your email address if you have one!

Username and password should be the same until you change it in your prefs... so you could be sneaky and sign in as me I suppose - no suffix required.

shazz

I see I'm the 2nd most prolific writer! Perhaps I should do other things some day... Although after I've finished my Second World War ones...

I've forgotten what my old username and password were...

<BB<

You can get in as bluebottle/bluebottle... easy eh?

shazz

Easy!
At the moment I'm trying to persuade Asteroid Lil to help me write a "Hiking Through H2G2" article on Hitchhiker's Ranch.

<BB<

Tell Asteroid Lil about the graphics competition... she may like to have a go!

shazz

Okay, will do!
I'm sending you a graphic for a post article I'll be writing!
