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

Dear Researchers,

We apologize for any recent service interruptions you may have experienced. Simply put, h2g2's architecture is overdue for an upgrade to meet our current levels of demand.

Our Technical Team anticipated the demand and has been working hard to address the situation. As soon as we had popped the cork on the first bottle of celebratory bubbly last October, Brian, Pastey and the technical team got to work on a proposed solution to the projected demand on h2g2's resources. Since then, volunteers have been working behind the scenes to develop a new and modern platform from which to continue expanding the Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything.

During this phase of h2g2's transition, the Comms Team will do our utmost to keep you informed. The Tech Team may ask for your help with software testing.The Guide and Arts Editors and the Post Editorial Team stand ready to help you as you contribute to the Edited Guide and The Post. The Community Editors are always here to address your concerns.

We ask that you do as you have always done, that is, contribute your research to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Earth Edition). And of course, .


Happy Nerd

Yay! It's not good in the evenings - got really bad a couple of evenings ago. Bad enough to cause an extra GanT (that's OK by me though, except for the disapproving glances).

Keep up the good work - it's appreciated.

oooh! just don't make it too reliable please!

upgradesyep! lets banish the "old beeb Hootoo" Sunday night lock-outs

Yes, things have been a bit weird recently. Thanks for keeping us informed, and and to the tech crew!

Just say the word and we will test away

Or be very testy at least

I don't want Pierce's testes

If we browse in an unpleasurable way are we less likely to encounter problems?

Just please a little advance notice before taking hootoo off-line.
I was using it as my home page and the other night got a nasty shock when instead of the old reliable classic blue my screen was pure wshite with an error message.

I do adjacent-key typos

I don't think any tech crew has ever had a more appreciative audience.

You go, guys.

It's probably an accident of timing, but there haven't been many times when I couldn't get on H2G2. Still, I'm really excited to hear that a better system will be in place.



fly over the .
Why, then,oh why can't I?

You'll also probably be glad to know that the new system doesn't go down at those times

I can't give time lines yet I'm afraid, other that "hopefully not long now"

"hopefully not long now"

Admit it, the BBC were giving you lessons.

That's worrying - when somebody asks me how much longer a job's going to take to finish and I say "hopefully not long now", what I'm usually thinking is "Ah, I suppose I'd better start it quite soon, then"...

up grades eh! i'ed just like a grade, i failed my CSE grade 3 metalwork,

Hi Team, many thanks for all your efforts. To date I don't seem to have had any problems, but perhaps I am tempting fate

with your upgrading, would hate to lose sight of you all.

My Antiviral Program says this browser has problems with spyware and trojan horses. I would hate to have identity thieves masquerading as shagbark there.

Masquerading as Shagbark? I'm Shagbark and so's my wife!

I'm Spartacus!
