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

It's good, a light rock not unlike Paul Simon, with a theme to the album of a four-year relationship. The first two spent getting in and the next two spent trying to find a way out.

The best way out is to not get in in the first place...

peace.

...you do life in a yellow submarine with all your friends and family.

...You change the subject...

You know you're a h2g2 addict when...
o You can name all the in house members -
Abi, Peta, Mark, Chris, Jim, Dharmesh, Sri, and even though I do know all the ones that advertise themselves - I'm having a mental block right now and am sure there are more

(I know this is a little obvious and basic, but...)
o When your name is in the top 10 posters on h2g2 in the last 24 hours bit at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/info?

aka (",)

aka, you forgot Linda...

... when you are determined to go tomorrow despite your GF and other "friends" ripping the piss out of you....

... when the only reason you are keeping your iPaq is so you can post to H2G2 while on the move!!!

...you like and

...when you name your children things like LaMorte and Winter.

Ooh, I thought of one!

...When you have two accounts so you can stay permanently logged in at home and at college .

...BTW, you know you've been online too long when everything turns to before your eyes, and all the smilies seem to be staring at you. Please... Tell me you've been there.

Freaky

Nope, can't say I have....but I've had more realistic, boring symptoms, like twitching eyes and occassional headaches...

...when you get dressed in RL up to go to the h2g2 parties.

...when you don't dress beyond the essentials...

peace.

...when you post...


...COMPLETELY NUDE!

...when you don't feel pangs of guilt for POSTING NUDE!

peace.

... when you are grateful that h2g2 doesn't support live webcams

... you can translate smiley's to words on sight, and can read a sentence with out noticing that they're there.

Yes! I've noticed that, myself, S'pe;lug :x! -

*goes to bottom of page to check that he spelt name right*

S'pe;lug:x - Well.. It was close.. I put a space where there shouldn't have been one, but that's close enough

aka (",)

(And I thought we were all including Mina/Linda in there as given anyway... )

My name needs a public health warning of the form:

Warning: punctuation may cause choking hazard among h2g2ers.

The trick is to either say x, :x, or the proper spelling spelugx. The punctuation is just there for the sheer fun of people trying to get it right.

I Think I did pretty well though

the double slash ( // ) reminded me of when programming in javaScript, it starts a comment so...


function sayHello
{
alert('Hello!') // <-- this is where the comment would go to tell you what is happening, which is that when the script is running, an alert box opens on screen which says "Hello!" in it
}

seeing as I'm teaching this now, if you put that script in a HEAD tag on a web page, If i'm not mistaken (i always get these things wrong when I try to teach them) you'd put this attribute into your tag...


onload="sayHello()" so the body tag looks something like :



If I confused everyone in this thread just now, then my work here is done
