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

I came across a site with some nifty coding that I hadn't seen before.

I was going to copy&paste part of the article's title and then copy&paste the URL.

After I had pasted the title I noticed I had also posted

Yeah, it's quite a nice little JavaScript trick that. Much better than throwing an alert up saying "THIS CONTENT IS COPYRIGHTED!!!"

I'm currently making chili sauce. When around a friends house last week we tried several different bottles of chili sauce, all of us there like it you see. But I kept thinking, this doesn't compare at all with the one I used to make. So I've made a large batch with the intention of sharing the bottles out.

I just made the mistake of tasting it...

'Sven, a winter storm expected to hit Sweden on Thursday night, has prompted warnings for heavy snow and fierce winds as Swedes brace for what's being billed as the seasons' first major snowstorm.'

Sven?

I'm sorry, but did they have to name it Sven? I get a 'Swedish chef' feeling.

That said, I think I just might w*rk from home this Friday...

So has Sven hit, and is it as bad as they say? We had a little frost on the ground and my ears were slightly cold when I cycled to work this morning...

Yes, they've shut down the entire rail network in Scotland because of the amount of debris on the tracks.

Even the steam train Santa Specials?
One of these days I might be able to watch the news again and not just CBeebies in the mornings...

<BB<

Not content with watching Cbeebies once, you watch it again?

Even down here in the Midlands the winds are pretty high.

I've had to put the greenhouses in the shed, and the bench has blown over. Much more of this and I'm going to the pub

Found a "How many fantasy authors have you read" quiz thing: http://www.listchallenges.com/100-of-the-best-fantasy-authors-from-the-past

What's actually different about this, is the photos. I'd never seen a photo of Tom Holt before!

That is a good list - I'd never seen Tamara Pierce before, for example

I managed 30, too, which is pleasing (the other lists I've seen recently have been very obscure).

IIEM, a please.

No sign of Sven yet, but a prelude in the form of a short and light snowfall.

It's utterly horrendous weather here.

Pastey

Are you still planning on book signing tomorrow?

Whether I get to Manc tomorrow or not depends on whether the overhead wires are up or down.

But if I do what time and where?

Sven is currently visiting Pastey and most of Scotland before popping over to meet you.

Bald Bloke, I am indeed, although it's more an excuse to have some beers. In Port St (of course), I'll be in there from early afternoon! Would be great to see you!

I got hit with the Goo bug as well. Sad, it has always been my favorite skin.

I have read 37 of the authors. Several others I have meant to read as well. In other news, it's bloody cold in SLC and I am still alive. No really. (And I do keep up with backlog even when quiet).

Forgot to add, make mine a single barrel bourbon.

I had a sniff of t'other half's whiskey t'other night (getting into my 'norther accent role) and didn't actually gag. This is an improvement.

Still didn't like the burning taste though.
