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

I'm hoping that merely posting here has signed me on to the new Mustard Friends' list. I still feel very disoriented but am willing to learn if it means I can remain part of the Mustardland community. $Qxx

Well, you're on the list anyway!

You're on there already, as voicebearer, dearest Squigs.

Btw, Peet's been tinkering around a bit, click this link and you might feel a bit better (hope it works!):

Hello Voicebearer. Have been trying to send you "rood" health and sweet dreams for two days now, but am not allowed to post to your page. Doesn't recognise that I am logged on. I probably have no reflection either.

That's weird, petaljam, and not a good omen! Have you tried signing out and then back in again?

Katy

Repeatedly, Katy. read somewhere that someone else was trying to post to Marmalade's page on Sunday and encountered the same problem. Definitely logged in though.

Also having trouble with using my tabbed browser, which I love to pieces for its multi-shirking capabilities. E.g. click the "Who's Online" doobree and it will only open in a new window, which defeats the whole object for me.

Onwards and Upwards

Petaljam, here's a workaround...

Open the popup window, right-click on the background and select "Bookmark this page". (That's Mozilla/Firefox; I assume Opera has a similar facility)

Now close the window, open a tab and load the bookmark. In theory that bookmark should be good from now on.

Peet, you are a small wonder. Bookmarks bulging on our pc despite rigorous editing and pruning.

If you're using Mozilla or Firefox, there's actually a "My Conversations" sidebar posted somewhere around... Sadly, I can't remember where at the moment - it was about two years ago! But it'll come to me...

Please add me to the Mustard list.

Hey, Douglas! What's new?

Well, George Edward Grundy is still pretty new, I suppose.

hi there Squigs!

I have tried to leave you a message in your Personal Space but there's a glitch preventing me from doing so.

I hope you persevere with h2g2 because it seems to me to be a lot of fun. The best thing about it is the flexibility with which people can communicate. And of course the journals. Peet has a very entertaining one and martine, moo and annie cambridge have all started one (as have I). It's called blogging - web logging. To my mind the best journals are the ones where mundanities rule - little details of your life, what you had for lunch, what you are doing at the moment, the flotsam and jetsam.

Anyway I hope you, the Prof and Teenager are all in good health. I am slightly hungover at present but I'm taking the age old cure - the hair of the dog!

all the best

hmmm, hootoo is slow this evening.

One of these days I'm going to crack as regards smileys!

I wanted to say that you don't have to become proficient at navigating within hootoo (that's h2g2) to succeed in New ML. Hootoo is a site that runs in DNA, the system NML will use, which is why people have crossed over, to get acquainted with the new technology before we cross over to NML.

People in ML seem to be thinking that they have to get into hootoo. They don't, it's entirely optional; it's just that some inquiring/adventurous/pioneering spirits have wandered over here to see how DNA runs and how NML is likely to operate.

So don't panic, be comfortable!

cheers
