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

Thanks for the warning about what to expect in four years time.

Just thought I'd return the compliment and write about one of your articles

ooh, I've only just noticed this comment

yup, you are aiming for a day that you can only remember as one hectic blur

but after that day - the world is a slightly easier world to get on in

Keep telling that to Menza, he's having trouble finding a job.

yes, but I bet he wouldn't even be trying to find a job in that field without his degree and Masters degree!

That's the nice thing about my degree, plenty of work for simple graduates, and I'm not even expected to do a masters until ten years later.

what subject are you doing again, remind me please?

Business administration. I didn't want to specialise yet, I've gone through life for years always 'keping my options open' as momma told me.

me too, although I am not sure how open Atmos is, but the computer programming associated with it.....

...Always handy. I've been trting to learn HTML (and GuideML) to improve my "transferable skills". Dancing doesn't count

oh yes, i'm trying html, but v slowly - i keep getting side tracked by things like work

I had to do it as an assignment, otherwise I never would have gotten started on a web page. It was interesting though time consuming learning everything.

well, my html is now improving - I'm writing a whole series of web pages for the Guide Association and am even learning Java Script. And Menza is still without a job

That's a long time to be out of work

I've given up learning JavaScript at the moment and I decided on just nabbing it from free sites instead

well, I find that is the best way to learn... nab and then tweak and then tweak a bit more and then try to tweak to get something that is a bit harder, look it up, and tweak some more

Of course I haven't quite found the limits of the script yet so I spend ages looking for things I want to do so I can tweak them for my own stuff. They're hard to find though, so I waste hours. I leaarnm a little though.

It doesn't help that the one textbook on JavaScript here is permanently on loan. All the others have gone missing

that can be a bit frustrating - why I have my own html book.

Sensible precaution

that and my own tex book

For referring to, or one you're writing?

for referring to, so that I can write my report...
