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

Yay! My first journal entry in the new h2g2!

At this writing, we've only opened the door partway, only volunteers and a few researchers at a time. We had a hiccup today: a bug showed up, or as Z called it, a dinosaur. Pastey's put a patch on it. But soon we were able to let volunteers and a few beta testers in again. If all continues to go well, we should be able to open the door wider and wider.

Moving h2g2, saving h2g2, has been hard, time consuming. I've learned a lot. I've been working outside of my comfort zone for the better part of a year in one way or another, and I've learned a lot.

Closer to home, my new job started two weeks ago, the same day h2g2's move began. Back to being a systems engineer, a common enough job title for a mathematician who doesn't teach. The other job title tends to be something-or-another analyst. Just a fancy way of saying .

And in our backyard, summer has turned to autumn. Walnuts are falling from the tree, and the remaining tomatoes are stubbornly green. Mama Nerd suggested making green tomato chutney but I canned a lot of peach and mango chutney already.

... patches, plasters, bandages, and thermometer, will this be big enough?

.. safety pins and a bottle of brandy, for medicinal porpoises only *hic*

Oh, now I know which dinosaur they were talking of in another journal.

I would have arrived sooner, but I was trying to find a way to send some brandy down the pipe-lines to Californy. Sorry.

Digitized brandy? hmmm. Well, why not?

*hic*

I'm thinking that at o'dark:thirty, after hours of crossed eyes from debuggifying a buggy site, even digibrandy would go pretty nicely.
