Hi project people!
I was hanging out over at Starship Titanic and the Douglas Adams DNA website, when I was sent an email. It was weird, it said that I wasn't to reply and that it had been sent by mistake by Ford Prefect. It linked to the animations created by TDV. I checked them out, and registered (this is apparently how I got my really low user number U15551 - was allocated to me before h2g2 started). The day h2g2 began I was sent another email, and Shim came online at DNA and started dropping hints about going over to check out the next project. I went over, and found a practically empty h2g2, and started going round 'slamming the doors and checking out the corridors'! 
Jim was online and said that DNA was on Tomorrow's World that night launching the site, so I decided I'd better write some stuff so that there was *something* in the site that they could quote, Jim had said that the first people registered would get a copy of the Photo Illustrated Guide. So I wrote some stuff, ironing, penises and medical students were mentioned. Douglas read out one of my postings on Tomorrow's World, I won a book, there's a photo of Douglas holding it someone on site, and it all started from there!
