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

Whaddya' know? 'What Music?'s in Ask too. I thought all the 'What...are you...at the moment?' threads had been moved to Misc Chat.

I think the general rule is that if it s a question that generates actual answers rather than random chat or inane silliness then it stays in Ask.


I'm another PS rummager That was great thinking Az

I owe it all to ceolacanth ...

I never did find an Excel circular reference thread and I even looked on a day when the search engine was actually working (rare but does happen from time to time). I don't think there was such a thread on h2g2 but it might have been on one of the other dna sites.

I thought I'd seen the designer babies thread too and looked in all the logical places but perhaps it has disappeared. Anyone remember it?

Well, I remember it. I can't remember who else was in it, though. Alfredo, perhaps, but I'm not at all certain.

I'll have another look myself. It'll be in my convo list somewhere, but I cannot remember the title of it.

It's curious that you'd feel that way, Roymondo. The Personal Spaces aren't private and we all know that. I don't do much lurking myself but I can't see how looking at other people's PS's is any different from reading Guide Entries or forum conversations. In fact, a PS personal introduction *is* a guide entry. And journal entries are the same as other threads - it even says this on the 'Add a Journal Entry' page:

"but remember that everything you write is always part of the Guide, and other visitors to your page can still read what you've said, and discuss it"

I'm looking for the discussion about Ashley Nicole, the girl who was kept small by hormone treatment.

TRiG.

There was a discussion about it on Ask: F19585?thread=3781414

Is that the one you were looking for?

Aye. That's the one!

It's pretty bad when you can't even find your own threads but anyway:

I started a thread asking about quoting large amounts of text on h2g2 from other websites, and about copyright. I think it was in Ask, and it was probably the last quarter of last year. Jimster replied at some point.

I've had a look through my convo list back to early Sept but no luck. Can anyone else find it?

Traveller in Time also searching threads
"Try 'Jimster's MP perhaps you see the same thread.

I am looking for a thread early December about an image of a planet spinning the wrong direction. Got the Guide Entry 'twin planets' < A18170949 > from it, so it must be prior to 14th December.
Never mind found it on 'Jimster's list

Yours will be < >

'Clive' has had problems with big page s recently and 'Towelmaster' solved them for 'Shazz' in the old days. Has to do with MTU discovery in the local router. "

wrong problem

< F19585?thread=3714905 > Right problem ?

That's the one

Do you know where your thread was? Who posted in it?

Okay, here's a challenge.

Where's that thread where ~jwf~ and zoomer were guessing what h2g2 researchers looked like? It would have been around the end of April or early May 1994. It was the thread that inspired the h2g2 friends photo gallery. I'm writing a guide entry on the photo gallery and would like to link to that thread.

Traveller in Time answering the obvious (but wrong)
"Have you tried < F0 >, the database does not stretch before 1999, "

Duh!!! I meant 2004.

Where's the thread about little things that give you pleasure?
