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

Ah - I remember using a Mac once or twice. The Command key is the Mac equivalent of the 'Ctrl' key. And when I was being taught how to use a Mac once - albeit an older one, the keyboard had an Apple logo on its 'Command' key.

So it doesn't have the apple anymore!?

*disillusioned*

(and sleep deprived)

It's ok, I just went and inspected the nearest Mac (which was only about 15 feet away from me) and it still has the little apple on the key so I'm happy again.

It also has the "ctrl" key. But I understand now. everyone.

It has Command/Apple AND CTRL? Now I'm confused.

DM, you use Mozilla then - have you considered my unofficial AskH2G2 sidebar?

http://82.42.98.165/askh2g2/list.php I think it's quite handy. Although I use Opera, not Mozilla.

3 Questions:

1)how did you know i wasn't already doing that,
2)how did you know i might want to do that,
3)how do i add a new sidebar panel

1) Because I've not advertised it, and only one person who I forget the name of now, but I'm sure it's not you, asked to see it.
2) You have shortcuts to 'AskH2G2' amongst other h2g2 pages on your Desktop.
3) I have absolutely no idea about adding sidebars in Mozilla. Or Galeon (I hear that does sidebars too). Now, Opera I can tell you aaaall about.

You could always try Googling on site:mozilla.org.

adding side bars see A786251

and you might want to add http://happy.freeshell.org/panels/g2search.html
(it looks a bit weird on a full page but it all comes together nice in the panel)

thats for Mozilla/Firefox/NS

Opera users try http://happy.freeshell.org/panels/h2search.html

I dont use the search very much so I dont think I will use that one, but The Mini Ask H2G2 could be very useful. Any chance of getting it in a slightly less blue form, I dont like Classic Goo much.

Thanks for the sidebars Happy Dude

Tidied it up a bit now,

Before :http://www.thegster.dsl.pipex.com/desktop1.JPG
After :http://www.thegster.dsl.pipex.com/desktop1.jpg

(Just to confuse anyone using an MS OS you might think that those are the same but check and you'll see that they are not.)

both look pretty damm kewl

"Any chance of getting it in a slightly less blue form, I dont like Classic Goo much."

I'll re-write it to accept the current skin (ie: It grabs the page, and identifies what skin is being used, and then parses out the relative top-of-the-page skin-nonsense attributed to that skin) soon - but for now, the Goo thing will have to do.

Nice Desktops, DM.

OK. So yesterday I hooked up with a friend on MSN that I haven't talked to for a while, and he directed me to his deviantart page. Consequently, I've become obsessed with the pictures he took of himself (webcammed + paintworks apparently) and have them in quick rotation on my desktop.

In no order -

Thanks to those who helped me get the screenshots.

Thanks, a change of colour would have done (just on a separate page) but if your willing to make the changes, thats fine with me.

And erm.... Interesting desktops Saturnine
