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

as for a short while, communication between us will cease, all I hope is that you have a safe journeyand when you get back on-line here, I'll know that to be true

Oh, and I won't be online tomorrow - phone conference again.

I don't mind thatTHAT pays the rent

unless it's hootoo stuff

I don't talk on the phone to h2g2.

No, this is a training session for writing educational videos. I've got to learn how to boss actors around.

ah! I was thinking of skype with hootoo

Alas poor Yorick! I knew him well - SHUT UP! we ain't doing Shakespeare

No. Very cheerful young actors in Seattle, Washington.

this new contract sounds many miles away from the ones you've had while I've known you here

No, it's not.

First, we write a cram lesson, so students can freshen up for their end-of-year exams.

Then, we script a little 3-minute video that sums up the lesson.

But we have to learn the technique - there's green-screen involved.

you lost me on "no its not"

then again! my school dayswere basic - if you know your name and can write it - then your clever

See, suppose they need to know about what I was writing about, 1890s industrialists? So we have a quick lesson on it. They click through the pics, read the text, answer a few quiz questions. Just like stuff you do on the internet anyway...

Then, there's a sort of Youtube version. But somebody's got to put the pics on, and the words, and tell 'em what to say and how to say it.

I'll put it this way many years agothe night I joined the Buffaloes, a chap in the bar said to a friend - is he THAT stupid ?
my friend (who I respected for his dry humour) replied - when it comes to stupidity! he's at the top of the A1, when everyone else is at the bottomthe A1 is a motorway up the centre of the country
the chap said THAT must be stupid then


YOUR cleverTHAT I RESPECT

each person has his/her own field of expertise

To each his own.

Anyway, the person in this house clever enough to have made bacon sarnies says to tell you good night.

So good night.

See you on Tuesday!

ooo! I lurve that person








no bacon in

hope the meeting went ok and no hiccups occurred

Hiccups? More like an earthquake...

The wretched internet company got the WRONG DATE for shutdown and turned us off yesterday. It took us hours to get them to agree to reconnect us...

THEN....

It SNOWED. HERE. Where nobody knows what to do.

We just got back online at 9 am today - thanks to a dedicated work-from-home guy.

I'd love to laugh, but it ain't funny in that senseand YOU had snow WOW!

Yeah. It's all a mess out there now, and the parking lot is an ice rink.

But I've got my work done now, so I don't care. We've got one errand to run tomorrow, but the cabbie can take us the mile up the road.

just you both take care in walking ok

Will do! We've got boots.
