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

Here's my latest post to Natalie:

F47997?thread=381459?thread=&post=5023748#p5023748

No probs if using my email helps out! See my post to natalie: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F47997?thread=381459&post=5023941#p5023941 zdt

It's me that needs the email Terri . It's good for Natalie to have it as she may need you to email her Moose's address.

I'll go ahead and open an ID for the DMN page and then I'll email you with the login and password and you can pass it on to Moose and Abbi.


Any preferences for names for the ID?

I was thinking about "Albert DMN" after the mascot (although I can't find the picture of him - is he a moose or a frog? ).

Or simply "DMN" or DMNers?

Any other suggestions?

How about "DAMN"!!!

at own bad pun!

Albert is a tiny green creature of indeterminate gender & is non-species specific, thus totally PC, but almost invisible. Maybe he is a virus, bacteria, germ or just the missing strand of DNA we are all searching for? Anyway, created him & he appears to require enormous lumps of Guide ML stuff...you can probably spend many happy hours doing stuff & clone him all over hootoo. i haven't a clue, i can see him, abbi can't.

(gotta go & reboot, dying cursor time)

DAMN!


Thanks for explaining Albert.



I'll have a look at the gML later to what's what. "i can see him, abbi can't. " - a mysterious chappy then.

What skin are you using btw Terri, in case that makes the difference. Also what browser do you use?


kea.

The blue stuff. goo I am told! hootoo just doesn't seem right in anything else! whatdo you use (sorry, got deperate pussy syndrome, no, not being rude, abandoned yoda for weekend & paying price!)

I don't think abbi uses this. i am told Goo slows stuff down?

zdt

>>got deperate pussy syndrome, no, not being rude,<<

Not too many places you'd could say that! You have such a great turn of phrase and sense of humour . I hope you are writing somewhere.


The wee man is definitely visible in goo. He's very cool. I remember him too but not in goo (), so I think he may be visible in other skins too.

I've been in alabaster for ages. Although I did have a long time in goo last year. I've heard it slows page loading too, so I changed to alabaster.

ok, I've just looked at DMN in alabaster and Albert is visible again there. Strange. Will check the other skins later.

I have been able to see albert ever since my second computer
I never knew why I could not on the first one.

Mooses email is a couple posts back.

Is Moose's email the cookie one Abbi? I wasn't sure if it was hers or yours. Can you let me know and I will pass it on to Natalie


I think some thing's in guideML don't work with certain browsers.

Yes without the 8's

I do not care what the ID is because I do not know how to do any ML.
I will write it down somewhere for safe keeping.

That sounds like the sort of conversation a couple of old folks might have in the hospital waiting room!

Or maybe at a "Plaster Caster's" convention (dunno if you ever heard about them...they were a pair of 60's groupies who decide to take plaster casts of ...er...their favourite parts of guys they "befriended")?

*Yoda is currently "on the phone"... literally. She used to sit on the TV when i had one, if she really wanted attention. Lends new meaning to the phrase "what's on the TV tonight?"!!!!*

i am addicted to stupid puns, i never should have left Primary school! Glad i amuse you at times though! Online is nothing compared to how unbearable i am in "RL". But it gets worrying, people keep saying "you should have been a stand up comedian!" I do point out i have enough difficulty standing up under normal circumstances, so can i please be a sit down comedian instead?
*thinks* Is a stand up comic the same thing, or merely a well-used collection of porno cartoons?

Terri

okay dokay, take a look at this:

Albert U675384

Please ignore the one conversation that Albert has had, when I forgot I was him not me

Hopefully Jimster will transfer the editing rights to Albert when he gets back to work on Monday (he had transferred them to me yesterday and I've now set up Albert to take over).


Now we have to find a way to get the access ID and password to Abbi, Terri, and Moose. Abbi, did Moose say if she wanted to stay on as co-editor?

Do either of you have a public email address you can post somewhere. Alternatively I thought about asking Mort if I can email her, and then she can forward my email to you two, and then you can contact me etc. Or I can post my email address temporarily on my PS at an arranged time although I'd probably rather not do this if I can help it.


I also thought I'd start a conversation on DMN about changes to the page. We could discuss ideas, what you would like, changes, things to stay the same etc. What do you think?



kea

I nolonger care about posting my email addy, since i have now done it several times (carefully!) & not been deluged with spam, corned beef, unwanted lovers or anything else interesting!

So, here we go;

zendevil3 (cos i've now had three different ISP's!) at wanadoo,fullstop, then fr (which is the short version of frogland)

Yes, good idea to start a discussion thread on DMN. I reckon the first task is to go throught the "sign up here" convo & get the willing victims names in pretty lights on the front page & contact them before they think we don't care about them.

zdt

Thanks Terri!!! That makes things really easy. Expect to hear from me in the next day or two

I like your ideas for the page. I'll go start the new thread and cut and paste what you have said so that we can keep track of it all in one place.


kea.

The changes to the DMN page discussion is here:

F105873?thread=401180

oh dear. i seem to have inadvertantly caused many people a lot of problems.

whoops......
new site pretty spiffy though.
congrats to whoever did it (i think it might have been kea, but i've only been back for about 20 mins and these things are hard to follow...)

Tut-tut, Moose, no excuse! In 20 minutes people like us can rebuild entire universes!

Yes, it's Kea done this, Doesn't Albert look whizzing about like that, i always knew he had it in him!

Basically, Kea, abbi & me have the password to "become Albert" & you can too Moose, just use your home town; email me if you want more details.
