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

The Post has just interviewed Zelmo (one of the Eds):

I must say this is one of the most encouraging things I've seen about h2g2. Given we have lots of doom threads, I thought it time for some inspiration Thanks Post and Zelmo

As well as encouraging us to write some more entries and contribute to the guide in other ways, I thought this thread could also serve as advanced warning for a party on 10/10/10

>>It's also been pointed out to us that 10 October 2010 is 101010, and so 42 in binary,<<

We're due for the 10,000th entry in the guide this year. Seeing as how there was almost no celebration of the ten year anniversary last year (how did we manage to let that go by?), can we start planning for a party now in the hope that we actually get to do some celebrating this time

Don't forget to read the rest of <./>ThePost</.> too

I love the way Zelmo worships binary.

Now, if he worshipped tertiary, he would instead implement the new design on 1st January, 2020.

Maybe that can be the target for the next redesign.

Well there's 10 kinds of people...those who worship binary and those who don't.

Ahhh, but what is it in base 11?

39AD. We're too late.

Where have you been, Kea?

There was a fantastic issue of the Post A47075439

There was a blog post by Nick Reynolds, there was an Announcement:F77636?thread=6527213, there was a Talking Point: A50368313, there was the alunch of the new smileys, and there was a challenge for entries created on that day if they were to become edited guide entries (with lots of goodies to be sent to the author once the entry was on the FP).
