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

Hi Lara,

I see you are a newie as well? I am new my-self and I only have 1 friend so far (Lifson Kofie).

I know this is a stupid question but do you like Lara Croft? If you do so do I !

I am stuck for a nickname and I have just seen you. At the moment I am TJ the Piccolo Boy but I want to change it too something else. Is there any of your friends that has the nickname Von Croy? If not may I take it? I feel it will add to the Tomb Raider environment.

*LOL* Sweet! Go for it!! Yes, I'm a TR fan... played the games... watched the movie... bought the DVD... I even dressed as Lara for Halloween... pathetic, I know... but it confused the heck out of people here at work (many of them just aren't up on the pop culture).

Yes, I'm very new here. Surfed the guide a few times, but just joined yesterday, so I'm still trying to find my way around. Interesting stuff...

Hi! well... basically I just wanted to say "Hi!". Welcome to the guide to Life Universe and Everything founded on Douglas Adam's Hich-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy triology. I joined a little over two years ago and am now officially addicted to this site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F65289?thread=106849&skip=0&show=20). By now it has grown a little comples but still you can find your way around. Usually it helps to click on people's names, so that you can get to their personal spaces and see what they are up to which in turn gives you an idea what's happening at the site. Another easy way to get talking to people is the Aks H2G2 page (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A148907). Also, the Peer Review (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Peerreview) offers the chance to get involved in writing entries and figure out how to do it. In fact I'll go there myself now because something caught my eye. See you around! :-) Tube

Thanks, Tube. I'm hoping to have some time over the weekend to thoroughly go through it... However, 'tis the season for office Christmas parties, so I may not... but I'll try...

Catch you around...

Thanks, I have now changed it to Von Croy. I have just been here a week as I don't have (New this week) beside my name anymore, YES!!!

C u around!

Hello everyone Especially Lara and van Croy - nice to meet you

My name is Feisor and I too am an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) at h2g2, (there are lots of us)
Seeing as how everyone is leaving you links - mind if I add a couple?? Ooops - too late

The "Italics" (they are the people who run this place - so-called because their names are displayed in bold italics - God Bless 'Em) have left a message for newcomers at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome-Newcomers
it's got a lot of the basic background and how-tos that you will need - a good place to start

If some of the H2G2 terms leave you a little confused, there is a great page about it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A632431 (thanks to Dastardly for this great page)

And finally, the editors of our own newspaper The H2G2 Post have made up a page of links - you can find it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A616718 and then you can read The Post

Well - that should keep you busy for a while I am sure that you will love this community as much as we do There's lots of things to see, clubs to join and people to meet - please don't be shy - just jump right in - this is a friendly place. But be careful - it can become quite addictive - believe me I know



Enjoy!!
Have fun!!!
and above all DON'T PANIC!!!

Oops again - I meant Von Croy

Thanks, Feisor. I'm sure all of your help and pointers-in-the-right-direction will be much needed!!

Early Monday morning, and needing much ,
Lara

Well... you know where you can find help if you need it

Have a with your ?

Occasionally... Some mornings, we're looking for a instead of !! (just jokes!)

Tube.

I have recently added two journal entries and I have been searching for a couple of things in the guide as well. I feel I am getting used to the h2g2 environment.

See you around.

That's OK,
I have changed my nickname so many times even I'm confused

Speaking of journal entries, I've actually started using mine! Great way to vent when you need to!!

Lara

I'm still waiting to get my old ones back... I'd like to know what my first one was

No doubt! It's always interesting to look back and see what you were thinking and/or feeling at the beginning... This vent in my journal is more personal / work related and not guide related, but it helped me feel better...

Lara,
Sometimes that's what I think the journal is for - it gives us all a little insight into what is going on in your life ...

In my case - not much
But the great thing is that it's YOUR journal and what you put into it is up to you
