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

I just can't stay away. First thing before my lectures... last thing before going home... during the day.... at the weekend....
Where will you find me?
H2G2!
Why?
I'm completely and hopelessly addicted
Joanna
Anyone else???

YES! Me! I am addicted to.
I've even had dreams about H2G2 - so if that's not addiction, what is?

I dreamed about being in a forum. But all the ACEs names were coming up in Bold Italic like tdv employees...

Was that including us soon-to-be's too?
I hope that Yahoo sorts itself out before they send out the info regarding who is what!

I think you'd posted to the forum... I'm not sure. Why not set [email protected] to forward to simeon for a bit, then send the messages back when it sorts itself out?

Could do...
But I seem to be recieving well at the moment - apparently sending is weird...
...Hmmm...

Oh, the vagaries of the internet! it seems to have its own uncertainty principle.

Having seen what happens from the 'other side' as it were, the vagaries of the internet aren't that much of a problem.
The fact that this whole shebang works at all is amazing

So what may have happened to the missing mail? It tried to go from yahoo to altavista to Durham... which is likely to have been the weak link?

Off hand I don't know. I'd have to see the (full) headers for the mails to see what was going where exactly, and any error message output that anyone got, but hey that's part of my job and I'm now at home. Only I've got a pager that could go off at any time and I've got to deal with it .

*sympathy*
Don't worry, just an idle question...

I wasn't that woried

I've just spent ten minutes getting somethign to restart.
It shouldn't work like that I follow the instructions I'm given on the pager and it doesn't work. Why the **** doesn't it do what it's supposed to do (and it's just gone off again as the paging system catches up with itself).

Arrggghhhh, why is the whole darn thing so broken. Another page (yes that two seperate ones whilst I type this - I should type faster I know ) this time I can't do anything about it. Everyone knows that nothing can be done about it but still I (or anyone else who's on call) get told, arrrggggghhhhh.

thanks, just had to get it off my chest.

I'm definately still addicted I was out for pay day friday last night and *almost* popped into the internet cafe we passed between pubs. As you all know I didn't but the thought was there.

Dancing Ermine used to be addicted.
I think we should tell hi how much he's missed.

But DNA is on again....

And still hasn't posted... I wonder if he saw his donuts?

He probably did. He likes looking around, but very, very, very rarely posts anything.
I haven't seen him do it - only afterwards do I learn where he's been.
People tend to flock to his conversations too much...

Raising the point: if he *did* post *more* and people got used to it, would this no longer be a problem?

Maybe not - although more people would try and have conversations with him.
Also, if he *did* post more - would he have enough time to write books & do other things?
