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

Asil

Yeah, stayed out from 10 untill 12:45 and saw 6-8 metiors (not sure as soemtimes you only notice something in the last fraction of a second as it dissapers). Only 2 were actual Leonids but they were impressive. One other one covered most of the sky, quite amazing. Pretty darn chilly mind you, had a sleeping bag though.

They will just about have ended by now and the next truly spectacular dieplay won't be for about 100 years (though 2033 and 2066 should also be quite good)

Where did you learn to do all that html (if it is that) on your page, i.e, flags, faces and stuff?

Ahh, it's late and I'm tyred. Well a little on the drousy side anyway.

I come on h2g2 almost everyday (I mean almost, in the whole time I've been here - since about Jy - I have only been off it for a total of six days. That's six days without going on at all.. The Internet bill is sky-high and my Dad is really angry, AARRGGHH!!!) so I get loadsa practice with html and stuff. If you go to my page you'll see a link to Pastey's help site (I can't remember what the link says though.) and it's really useful. I'll help you with your page if you want because I'm nice like that.

I drew my face (which doesn't really look like me at all really.) on Paintbrush and because I couldn't upload it properly I emailed it to Mad-Munk. (normally without hyphen however!! ) and he uploaded it for me and now it's on my page. I managed to upload two pictures though.

You can find any pictures you want to put on your page at places like http://www.animfactory.com and http://www.andyart.com and you have to get the address of the picture, then put a code like this on your page:

to make it appear there.

You have to have it on GuideML first, there's a little option thingy at the bottom of the edit box.

I'm not really a HTML boffin. Honestly. I just know some stuff. I'm not a boffin. Really.

WOW. Looks complicated. Hmmmm, I'll see what I can find.

Did you get ICQ last week?

Noope

I'll go see how long it takes to download, okay??!!

Not long at all. 56K? bout 10 mins on a goot night.

Okaee then.. I'll go see if I can...

It said half an hour and I downloaded half of it when my bloody computer shut down the program. It's been doing that a lot recently, I've had to stop using the better browser all together..

I don't have any time left now!

I'm really sorry. Not half as much as my computer will be though.

NIck you said they sold the radio scripts for the guide in whsmith's. I went there yesterday and they din't wwwaaaaaaaaaaah.

does anybody go to balcarras? i'm in 9f2! Happy millienium!

oh yes, and my email is [email protected].

I think my friend used to go there

she's called Zoe Bromelow. Apparently.

sorry..never heard of her...

I had this dream last night and there was a big crowd and someone stood up and yelled "No, *I'm* the thickest researcher!" For aboslutely no reason whatsoever.

I've been away (somewhere just off Gamma Draconis).
I don't go to Balcaris but know some folk who go there (upper 6th).

WHS probably don't stock the HHGTTG radio tapes but if you say "Oi, you! Come over here NOW. I want these tapes!" They will tap away at their computers and happily order it for you. Couple of days and it'll be in!

Oh what a wonder modern technology is!

PS. I hate revision and A- Levels!!!!!

Poor you. I'm in what is apparently the easiest year, maybe that explains where the last three months went.

'Ooooh and get the machine that goes, "PING!"'
[PING!]

Scuse me.

Seriously though, I asked the staff at Hammicks Waterstones and Smiths and none of them even knew they existed!! I was gonna bring the thingy number for them but I kept forgetting it. *duuuuh*

OK. They do know about it. They should be able to look it up on their little computers. Customer Service is to people you want.

But here is the ISBN for the radio series (which is odd coz it isn't a book) (hmmm, it is the radio series on tape you want and not the written version isn't it?)

ISBN 0-563-55766-4

Try that.

Nick

I'm looking for the scripts, cos I managed toget the series itself there (after long searches everywhere.)

Okay thanks, I'll try that.

Barns and Noble? The only place I have ever seen them (and the Ultimate HHGTTG) was in America. Us English, arg (use 'ARG' as an approximation to 'DOH' [of Simpsons fame] in situations where DOH isn't forceful enough)

N

Looking back, that's the isbn for the radio series isn't it, which is why I got a different one for the scripts. (0330292889) I checked Waterstones but the guy said that cos it's old they're probably not in print anymore, so I should order it on the internet. *sigh*



Oh well!
