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

By the time you read this.....

Hi Potholer

This really is on the off-chance that you come back and see this before events move on.

You'll know about the BBC's plans to dispose of h2g2, but you may not be aware of the communuty bid. There,s a huge amount all over the place but the one central thing is the Great Big Document which we will draw on for the bid. http://www.tinyurl.com/noohootoo

We are also putting together a collection of writing to show how insanely hoopy h2g2 can be, but because we aren't the BBC we need the permision of people to use their work. One of the pieces I want to use is one of the SEx writeups,

More in a mo....

... sorry about that - the train arrived at the station.

The entry is the Smell the Coffee one - A14136239 - Astonishingly everyone in it is more or less still around.

If you drop by, let me know. Things may have moved on by then, of course, but it would be nice to have a little bit of SEx in the collection.

Or possibly this one on blood - A17729878 - which also features current researchers.

You have my full permission to use anything you think sensible.

I am pretty rarely here, but am currently doing desperate displacement activity to avoid some gnarly programming (rewriting some embedded code for hardware I mistakenly thought I'd never significantly alter).

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the exclamation marks, but I really am thrilled about that. I very much wanted to include a SEx entry. <somersault.

I noticed you weren't around much, and assumed we'd not get your OK in time.

Good look with the gnarliness.

Ben

Good to see you back.

I hope you are too. Your potholing journal entries scare the proverbial out of me, but in a good way.

I guess it's probably a good job I didn't mention a little rope-snapping incident in the journal, though due to a very conveniently-sized-and-placed pool, that ended up with no ill effects beyond an surprise bath, and a lingering reduction in trust of fixed tension-traverse lines.
