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

Hi Gnomon -

It's very kind of you to offer to have a go at making this entry a bit more novice-friendly. Whenever's good for you, we'd be delighted to see your amendments. And rest assured, we'll find some way of crediting you for the work you do on it, whilst simultaneously retaining Old Hairy's name on the entry.

It's really appreciated!

Paully

So until this has been reworked (at Gnomon's convenience), I'll decline this as a recommendation and pop it back to PR.

Paully

I'll be away this weekend but I'll have a bit more time next week. We're coming to the end of the singing season.

Anything new happening here? As I shy away from Maths (it's genetic!) I feel I can't offer much - apart from Moral support and virtual alcohol!

(take your pick (me up))

Speller

I forgot completely about this! I'll try and have a look at it tomorrow. Remind me, someone, if I haven't posted something here soon.

Gnomon, do you think this convo should be removed from PR, while you are giving the Entry a polishing?

HELL

It doesn't make any difference to me whether it is or not. If it helps the scouts, by all means remove the conversation. In the meantime, I am working on the entry, but it is slow going.

OK, so I suggest moving this conversation to the Entry itself.

HELL

It might as well stay here in PR. I don't see any burning need for it to be shifted out whilst it's finished off.

The point is: Gnomon is working on another version of this Entry and he will submit that one to PR someday. As you know, sadly, this Entry here cannot be changed or edited... So what's the point leaving it here?

HELL

Keeping this entry in Peer Review allows scouts to grumble about it being here, which gives occasional reminders to me that I am supposed to be working on it.

I am actually working on it, but slowly. It is much harder to edit someone else's entry than to write your own. I do most of the composition and layout of my own entries in my head, then type them out. I can't do that with this one.

My new version is at A3554606 but it is by no means finished yet.

I know what you mean. Especially in this case, where there is also an emotional dimension to the editing business.

I know the Entry is in very good hands, Gnomon.

H

Still working on this.

I have it down to only three paragraphs that I am not happy with now. So a few more days should see this process completed.

I've finished my rewritten version of Old Hairy's entry on Boolean Expressions from Truth Tables. My version is at A3554606.

I'd appreciate it if someone would give it a glance over. I know that it is probably still Double Dutch to most of you, but mine is a lot easier to understand than Old Hairy's.

What happens now? SHould I submit mine to Peer Review? Will Jimster withdraw this entry from Peer Review?

On Pimms's advice, I've submit my version to Peer Review at F48874?thread=612417.

Since my revised version of the entry has now been accepted, this thread should be returned to entry.

Seconded.

(As if this wasn't clear)
HELL

As requested, this entry's now been removed from Peer Review.

Ta everyone!

Paully
