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

Hi Post Eds,

It's nice to see you all back, the Post is looking very good this week.

How's the new Post Office working out? Is it making life easier for you all?

Hi Peta

A small email problem has appeared - but hopefully Pastey can fix it soon.

The new PO is great. It should make it easy to collect and collate all Post articles, saving a copy to database in case of emergencies.

Now all we need are a few more staff and it will run like a well-oiled machine.

This edition was the biggest so far - 32 articles beats 2 previous editions by one.

Hi Shazz,

The biggest ever? Well done to *everyone* involved then.

If we can help at all with recruitment, just let us know. I don't know how particularly, but if you have any ideas?

The PO bug? Isn't that always the way? Pastey'll fix it though. He's a very determined person on this kind of thing, isn't he?

That was weird, I just double-posted, and I really thought I only hit it once.

Maybe we've got a bug of our own, I've heard a few Researchers say the same thing recently. Bleah!

Yes - strange things keep happening - maybe the whole internet has a (we need a gremlin smiley! )

I hope that Jim L is ok btw - and that he recovers soon.

I'm not sure what else we can do for the moment to recruit more staff. We have had a couple of replies to our appeal last week - so we'll see how that transpires.

What we really need are a couple of 'scout-type' people to search out interesting items. Bossel is doing his bit and AGG/GAG have a good system going. It may help if you tell them (scouts and peer review commentors) that it is ok to point items which are unsuitable for the Official Guide our way. One or two already do this, which is great.

Hi,

Poor Jim, I hope he gets better soon!

If you want things sent your way go and mention it to Natalie. Have you spoken to her much yet? She can hopefully then get someone on the team to set stuff up for you. She's really nice, you'll like her when you get to meet her. She's a mod! As in mods and rockers, not moderator of course!

I was introduced briefly to her when I visited the other month, but spent most of my time annoying Ashley, Sam and Jimster.

I better introduce myself formally over at her page.

shazz

Yes do! Jimster's lovely too. I went for a beer with him and Linda last night, which was fun!

I hope Linda has prepared herself well for next weekend then! I better warn her to bring earplugs - those local Bands can be pretty noisy!

It looks like we have to find room for 6 visitors - if we had a garden I'd erect a tent!

shazz

That sounds like it's going to be great fun!

I've got to go off now, speak to you laters...
