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

I'm looking forward to getting back to writing entries, which is what I really love about h2g2. I love writing down my thoughts on things, and if people read them, which apparently they do, then that's good.

I don't intend to do any more Peer Reviewing, nor do I expect anbody else to review my entries. I'll continue writing, but my work will be for my own little corner of the Unedited Guide, which I'm calling Gnomon's Guide. I hope that the search engines will find them as easily as they find the Edited Entries.

Just as long as you continue to enjoy yourself

I'm glad you're continuing writing

Let me know when you have a page for that, Gnomon, and I'll happily subscribe.

The Index is at A87845908. There's nothing much there yet, but I'll expand it.

I also have a list of entries I'm writing for Gnomon's Guide:

Entry A87847320

Yes, by all means keep on writing.

Unfortunately, I am now unable to make any changes to any large entries. When click on Save or Update, the "Captcha" system asks me to confirm a code to verify I am not a robot, then it clears the entry box and doesn't save the entry.

I presume this also prevents everybody else from editing large entries.

That happened to me a while ago, so I stopped trying. For what it's worth, the technology that developed into Captcha originated with "Imitation Game" hero Alan Turing. I dislike Captcha immensely, but I don't have the clout to have it changed.

Recent Additions to Gnomon's Guide:

Thanks, Gnomon

Just working through them.

The pyramid tomb entry is interesting. We have one in the UK - built for an eccentric named Mad Jack Fuller, at Brightling, Sussex. Dmitri wrote about him in A87828718, but see Wikipedia for a photo of the tomb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_'Mad_Jack'_Fuller

New in Gnomon's Guide today:

Entry A87846600 Galadriel - The Elf-Lady of Lorien

I particularly enjoyed 'Living on Jupiter'

Thanks. That took me a few days to write.

New today in Gnomon's Guide:

Entry A861220 How to Pronounce Turkish

You're writing them faster than I can read them!

Not really. These were ones I was working on.

But I hope to write a lot of small entries, and these won't take so long.

Wheely bins, for example.

Nissen huts take me back, we had some at school and the carpentry classes took place in one, science classes in the other. I think they were WW2 technology.

There is another pyramid grave in Kinnitty, from 1830, also 30 feet high. Masonic influence no doubt.
