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

<------- me after being alabastered all afternoon and then discovering that my ISP's mail server is down too.

Hi, Lil. Hi, Quorthon etc etc etc.

*Pours generous measure of Lagavulin (Islay Malt whisky for those who don't know it) for self. Sips generously*

Just popped in b4 crashing out (much going on IRL) to bookmark this on my home page.

Have a good day!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

*handing out vodkas and hugs all around*

TEll us about the alabastard, lil! did it ruin your page? It did mine! fixed it now, tho.. w/ a LOT of help from my hero over there
at least YOU have experience with graphics and such!


i'm so glad that you all are taking the time to hang out! it's great that some of the newer angels can see what a truly froody crowd they're in (they're all pretty fribbulous themselves, you know!!)!!!

SO what've you all been up to??? catch-up time!!!!

I just feel so WONDERFUL that you all are here! I've missed you all so much!

*beams at all of the saintly faces*

Aw Heck! GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow

I has the Alabastard problem last night to, at around 10.30pm. Luckily I was on MSN Instant Messenger to Katsy at the time, who rung up her brother Shim...and soon after the problem was miraculously cured!

*casting a wry glance at GOD*

It must be nice to have friends in high places!

Told it's good to have high in friends' places too. By Jester that is.

* St.Peter walks in feeling sorry he missed the group hug... *

Hello Everyone !!! Gee, a room full of fine people is a rarity these days...

* he thinks ' I've found people are generally more 'tactile' after praise...' *

Well, I was alabastered yesterday as well. It's not much fun after you have spent 3 hours working on a page to see the screen freeze when you go to update it...

It was nearly the first time I've sworn in 2000 years...!!!

BTW I've purchased this electronic swear-box. You simply input your ATM/Credit card and it 'pays-in' randomly like a fruit machine...

All the mercantile aversion therapy one needs...

* he scolds himself, because now any ongoing, potential group hug situation might be boycotted by Mike... *

St.P.

indeed. But, what can ya do?

*hugs QMike*
You just put those Ray-Bans back on and be cool.
No comment, dude!

btw aunt I got yer email

I wonder if some bloke has noticed that his fish are blowing ISO character codes instead of bubbles?

Anyone interested in an unofficial discussion on GuideML Gadgets I've started one here here http://www.h2g2.com/A299504 . The basic idea is to see what people might want in the way of Gadgets when javascript disappears from h2g2.
(apologies for small spam)

All contributions/suggestions/comments welcome.

30+ weeks on, I have STILL not figured out how to make fish blow bubbles!

Well some bloke has given you a worked example of how it used to be done

;^)#

I'm still not sure if it's better than the cryptic clues him and a mate gave me many months back...

So that trick has now been rendered impossible, yes?

Yes, the trick's gone

;^)#

You're all of course noticing the extremely topical cause in my name

DAMN DAMN DAMN

Hmmm...the fish...

Well, the solution to your problem with the fish is simply NOT TO USE THE HORRID NEW SKIN!!!!

*Wakes up wondering why everyone's talking about Leonard Cohen albums (New Skin for the Old Ceremony). Drinks another large glass of Lagavulin and falls back comatose*

the new skin made all the writing on my page go wonky, so i use the old skin whenever it gets to me. i'm still a new angel, is there anyone i should get to know?
