Cheeky so and so...

*walks in muttering, lights mining candle and dumps canary and pick on the table*

What's up at the yahoo pithead? It's been closed for two days. Flooded out?

It's not very well though. I've posted so Ashley will know there's a problem. I got the message index just now but the 'next' button still doesn't work.

You'd have to have been around about the same longitude as Greece I think for it to be right by my time zone.

btw I've been collecting page numbers to update the ball of string. If I let you know when it's done (tomorrow some time) could you take a look and see if you spot anything missing?

There are a lot of new pages - I suspect they're mostly yours - no wonder you needed a break.

smiley - laugh Most of the UG Editors entries are mine, yes.
You and Ben were credited for the Miners homepage though. You two should be on the miner pages throughout, but I thought that the symbolism wouldn't clog up your MAList smiley - winkeye

I'll make sure to look at it smiley - ok

"You two should be on the miner pages throughout" Nooo!!! You thought right! Although, MAList? Got me on that.

I'll let you know as soon as Ariadne's finished. If she escapes the Minotaur.

Hey! Minotaur - name for UG Ed? Or...Ashley smiley - smiley?

Yeah, we definitely need a silly name for the eds. It doesn't follow the mine theme smiley - tongueout

Oh that! Never knew it had an MA name. It's already a mess. I know now why people keep their own listings.

"MINE"otaur smiley - tongueout

but no, it isn't really.

Will keep thinking, but off to bed now. Enjoy the rest of your day!

not sure about connecting the images of the UG and dinosaurs mind.

The ball of string is updated. I had a look at the forums connected - Ben said something about deleting previous pre-officialness draft miners pages. Shall I do that with mine now? Or if you're still referring to them I could change the titles to make it clear they're pre officialdom.

As regards Ariadne, if you got to the point of creating an official links page (lift whatever coding you want of course) at some stage I would keep it as it's handy to have, but would make it clear that it's my own ball of string.

I could also add the names of anyone who might want the link on their page to the list of editors. If that would be useful.

Right. No more h2g2 until the village hall accounts are done.

Nice job!! Great intro smiley - biggrin
I can't think of any important pages you didn't add at the moment, but I'll look through it more thoroughly later

You and Ben can decide about that, but it would be nice to keep them for historical purposes smiley - smiley Also, I'm trying to compile a history of how the UG formed A1168003. Feel free to comment there smiley - ok

smiley - cheers

Will do.

I'll retitle the draft UG pages I have. Glad you liked the intro, I was feeling the effects of all this sunshine. You're not in line for Isabel are you?

btw UG Eds could be Assayers - not silly exactly, but sort of accurate? Will keep thinking anyway. PitHeads was better but 'pit', for a mine, doesn't travel across the pond very well.
