Micro-Meets
The purpose of this Entry is to provide a Zone for
Researchers to inform each other of their free time and movements so that they can hopefully
find out when and where all or some of them can meet up in the future with the minimum of
inconvenience to enjoy each other's company out there in the real world.

Did you know that Douglas Adams' computer was recently sold on ebay and is reputed
to still hold many files of unpublished material? If not, then you haven't visited the Douglas Adams Continuum site set up by Duke of Dunstable.

The We Didn't Start The Fire compilation
entry is now nearing completion and this has generated so much interest that we not only see more
projects proposed in the Collaborative Writing Workshop but also
the return of 'The Topic of the Week'.
This week the subject is Stonehenge. Is it an ancient
sacrificial altar? Maybe something to do with astrology? Or could it have been merely an artistic
statement? You are invited to put forward your knowledge of this interesting site for a future
Guide Entry.

alternative to violence and armed conflict. Features include: Tibet News, Chronology, Tibet
Tourism, and a Guestbook. John-the-gardener would appreciate
you coming out to join.
