Yeah, I figured that was the way to find it... But I never remember the testuser thing...

Rho Posted Apr 4, 2003
For an article, replace A with test. For a personal space, replace U with testuserpage. That's all there is to remember!

hey, rho, what's this testuser thingy? first time i've heard of it ever since i joined h2g2...

Rho Posted Apr 7, 2003
If you want to see the GuideML for an article, for example A970742, replace the 'A' with 'test' to give <./>test970742</.>.
Alternatively, to view the GuideML of a personal space, for example U203385, replace the 'U' with 'testuserpage' to give <./>testuserpage203385</.>.
It's very useful

ah... and *all* this time i've been wading through truckloads of source code... they don't *look* like all that much when you're using notepad, but when you open 'em using word or wordpad, they seem to exceed the number of atoms in the known universe...

Rho Posted Apr 8, 2003
That's true - that one post alone got me onto the 'Longest postings' section of <./>info</.> for a few hours.

hmm... that means that i've been getting on the list every time i handed out the badges manually, since that is by far the biggest *thing* i've created to date...

I always thought you knew about the Test Page function. I believe I made an indirect reference to it once, and you seemed to know what I was talking about.
Um, about the microbe I'm to adopt. I don't really know which one to pick. I've always been fond of Yersinia Pestis, but maybe I want one that isn't all evil. Any ideas?

amazing what one doesn't know one doesn't know, isn't it? i'm still picking up things here and there...
oh and by the way... would you like a *live* yersinia pestis, or would you prefer an *attenuated* one? only there might be a bit of a wait, because i'm having a little difficulty getting the microbes to reproduce...

Oh, live sounds nice. It's friendly, isn't it?

Yes. You wouldn't want it to get lonely. A pet rat would be nice company, wouldn't it?
Microbes deserve recognition!

A worthy cause with a very real goal. Sign me up for it!
Microbes deserve recognition!
SEF Posted Apr 24, 2003
I'd mostly been avoiding this thread/forum because I'm still in dispute with the BBC staff over some microbes and didn't know how far the conspiracy spread. I agree that microbes deserve more respect/awareness. That basic problem of ignorance is what underlies the dispute. 
If it helps any, I've already got some microbes. 
Microbes deserve recognition!
Farlander Posted Apr 25, 2003
welcome to the order, jodan! your badge and yoghurt are ready, and so is your scheduled branding/knighting session with the inoculation loop - the microbe pet shop will soon be up, any requests?
i'm curious, 2legs - what was the dispute about?
Microbes deserve recognition!
SEF Posted Apr 25, 2003
I have a very bad feeling I've just turned into 2legs. I didn't know the thing making me was a mutagenic virus!
