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

i was doing this job before we had bbc access, then doing it before i found hootoo, its just that hootoo has become soo much of my life at work, that i have got to know you all as real people and friends and now i'm going back to just the bbc, but a bbc that is far more inferior to when i first came to hootoo, i still have acess from home, but its not the same, there is no reason at home to be on here for a straight 11 hours all through the night, i'll be one of the daylight users and i'll just interact with the daytime users and less so with all the nightime people

>>> i have got to know you all as real people and friends

Aw, shucks.

well its true, i spend more time with.....i have spent more time with some of you on here than real life friends,

consider i have been on here for around 77 hours a week, week on/week off, my real life friends i see 2 or 3 times a week for about 10 - 15 hours a week

Yep... I can identify with that.

Me, too.

I'm of the opinion that getting to know people online has advantages over so-called real life. One needn't distracted by petty details, such as race, color, creed, age, gender, etc.

instead there a whole raft of other stuff

spelling grammer and punctuation

Capital letters.

Yeah, I feel no moral pangs for being bigoted against txt and 1337 spkrs.

And now it is Wimpy/Tues and T minus 3, which it has been for quite some time for most of my h2g2c2&3 cohorts. I suppose I better find out how best I can help.

If i lose access to h2g2 at school because it is not a bbc site anymore its going to really cut down the amount of time i can spend on it - I might have to try some serious campaigning to get it through the school systems.

I might be able to use my MUN entry to show that it benefits the school,

And so my war, not to mention a certain amount of stress to see how our filter sees it

It should be easy to argue h2g2's value as a research tool. Where else could you find instructions for making a shopping bag bra? A450587

We can help you with this, too.

NBB Icy North has a list of all the times that h2g2 has been represented in academic journals..

Might steal it - tech support are not the most accepting when it comes to sites, though at least my one SOUNDS valid - unlike someone I'm helping with an MUN topic "Eliminating child cyber-pornography"

She's a year 9 (thats 13), and the filter at school runs off lists of words primarily - me and a teacher are struggling to let school keep her from being banned from the network, let alone be allowed to check things like the UKs list of facts :S

I'll wait and see, and then start complaining

NBB,

Here's a list that Icy's been compiling:

Everybody saw this, right? The Foop's doesn't start yet:
