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

......I see you've been here a while and few people have said Hi as yet, so here's mine http://www.h2g2.com/A221789

I also see you've pretty much already got the hang of this place anyway, see you in a forum sometime.

Nearly forgot.....

Another Jun Fan fan - ?

How about submitting an article on in sometime. If you need any input, just ask.

Well Taipan, I did decide to submit an article on JKD and you can see it at http://www.h2g2.com/A246719......By the way, how'd you get the links to keep changing colour on your home page?

Neat, Isn't it?

put the following code in the head of your user page (change the type to html first though - click on edit page, go to bottom and select html as type).


<!--
function initArray() {
for (var i = 0; i < initArray.arguments.length; i++) {
this[i] = initArray.arguments[i];
}
this.length = initArray.arguments.length;
}

// you may fill this colors array with your colors.
// the script will rotate the links through these colors
var colors = new initArray(
"#ffffff",
"#ffffef",
"#ffffdf",
"#ffffcf",
"#ffffbf",
"#ffffaf",
"#ffff9f",
"#ffff8f",
"#ffff7f",
"#ffef7f",
"#ffdf7f",
"#ffcf7f",
"#ffbf7f",
"#ffaf7f",
"#ff9f7f",
"#ff8f7f",
"#ff7f7f",
"#ff7f8f",
"#ff7f9f",
"#ff7faf",
"#ff7fbf",
"#ff7fcf",
"#ff7fdf",
"#ff7fef",
"#ff7fff",
"#ff8fff",
"#ff9fff",
"#ffafff",
"#ffbfff",
"#ffcfff",
"#ffdfff",
"#ffefff");

pause_time = .3; // in seconds

link = 0; // starting color index (in colors array) for unvisited links
vlink = 4; // starting color index (in colors array) for visited links

Then to call the function, add this code :

function linkDance() {
link = (link+1)%colors.length;
vlink = (vlink+1)%colors.length;
//alert("link "+link+"\r\nvlink "+vlink+"\r\nvlinkColor "+document.vlinkColor);
document.linkColor = colors[link];
document.vlinkColor = colors[vlink];
setTimeout("linkDance();",pause_time*1000);
}
linkDance();
// -->



If you want any advice on Guideml (the guides version of XML - much cleaner processing), check out bruces Guideml Clinic which you can get a link to from most ACE pages (among others), or any other help, just ask.

Liked the article, by the way.

That looks familier. I think I've got that in my Mosh Pit

Just popping by to say that your Bombay article got approved today. Well done
Also, I was visitor #100

Celebrations for the approval, drinks all around(mostly Coke, orange juice and other non-alcoholic preparations.) Yeah, I remember getting the e-mail telling me about the approval...I came and checked it out as well. And for being visitor #100, Quorthon receives thanks from H2G2s sole alien member(at least my parents say that). So have a Rigellian VR simulation(they'll be marketing them on Earth within the next 548 years).

By the way, what's a Mosh Pit?

Thank you very much

A mish pit is like, the little bit in gigs where people mosh. And when you mosh, you jump around like crazy cos you're listening to the heaviest, loudest music ever that's being played in front of you. And if you don't want to mosh, then get out quick got you'll get trampled otherwise...
I'm to young to go clubbing, and thus too young to mosh
