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

Oh...Hello, good to see you still-up...

* Kicks sleeping Saint *

Um...oh, just a quick debriefing.

* Blushes *

Anyway, You did a truly sterling job with the Golden Sword...

* Thinks back to the time St.Peter was given the task. St.Luke was forever more asked if he had painted 'Sunflowers' *

... if the situation arises again, feel free to do the honours.

* Hands across a skeleton key, Saint Zax hand moves away in horror *

Look, it's only a turn of phrase...

Thanks for setting up the email address, can I assume that you can add things at will ? There might be other things Saint Lil & Mike might like to add in future, so can I have the address...

Finally, I would like to make Guardians Page a collaborative effort I'll try to track down Peta or an ACE to see what the process is for multi-editors. So given that you have been the most enthusiastic. I would like to ask you to be in on the kudos...

Look, after your good work, you can become a Archangel if you like. I simply wanted to create something aspiring to equalitarian principles, where people didn't expect to be fated for being around for so long (...the main reason the page was founded).

Then again that's easy for me to say, being a God & all...

- Simply, Drinks Like A Fish.

Oh, before I go, I created a spinning thingy, (the techincal term) for your page. The address is...

http://homestead.deja.com/user.matkershaw/files/Zax1.gif

If you want to create your own go to...

http://www.gifworks.com

For a lot of nice Java tools (I used Black Forest for the logo).

- Simply, High Spirited.

Thank you, m'Lord. I won't let it go to my head.. I was actually very pleased that you liked my names for the girls... i tried hard to get Mike to wait for you, cuz i just knew he needed a REALLY good one, and i couldn't think of one for the life of me! Then he started talking about moving furry stuff, and i was totally lost.. i'd been thinking along the lines of rock/metal music... i do run on.

Needless to say, i laughed gleefully at the one you chose... Metal Fatigue is really a stroke of genius.

(and that wasn't kissing up.)

.... well... i'll do it... but not unless you tell me to. i don't wanna be jumping in and sainting people while you're still composing.. ya know? but i guess, all in all i *did* kinda enjoy it. and if you have a name picked for someone, you can let me know (here? email?), and i'll be happy to conduct the service.. i know how much you like to sleep in!

Here's the email.. it's

[email protected]

it's caps insensitive. it can receive file attatchments, but i'm not sure about "adding" stuff... maybe if you walk me thru it once...?

as for being in on the kudos,

YIPPEE!
(i know.. pathetic. it's like i have no life... but really, this is a much more relaxing reality than my current college carreer.. i'm just feeding on it to get me thru!)
That'd be really great!

i'm even willing to wait(indefinitely) on the Archangel thing.. just as long as if it comes to that i get the first one... i just hate being lost in the crowd... not that that happens often!

OH! and that spinning thingy (gotta love the technical talk) is TRÉ Cool! Thanks a ton! i'm gonna go put it up now!

Here's something for you... just for quick reference,
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/special_characters/
mine is bookmarked. i just love watching the mortals as they wonder how i did it!
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/
has a ton of useful lists- a huge color chart, and html codes.. all sorts of stuff.

of course, you probably already know that, and have a printout next to your uh.. what does a Pan Dimensional being use to acces the internet? Strike that. I probably don't wanna know!


Thanks again m'Lord!

Saint Zax*

*and peolple say- boy that saint can talk!

oh, by the way.. i forgot to mention..

the name code for the special characters appears as (&#)then a three digit code... ie: é makes an é - lowercase e, acute accent. the only problem is that it doesn't. the PROPER procedure is to hold down the "alt" key while typing a zero, then the three digit code. when you finish, and release the alt key, the character will appear.... in other words.. when you see &#, it just means to hold down the alt key, and press zero first. so the code for é should actually read 0233. i know, i know... you probably already know all of this... i just wanted to return the favor of that totally wild link... entendré
.(o)
!
Saint Zax*

*tries to be helpful..

ps.if needed, we could post the email address so new saints can write in and receive private links- if you ever felt it necessary.. enough for now.

Thanks...

I usually try to avoid using such characters as much as possible.
But, the link will be good to run off back to, when I've had a few too many to really remember...

I will put up the email address, when I get around to doing the Angel Registry Next...

- THE chairman of the board.

* St.Peter paddles into the room *

How are you...I know, HE can be like that. Just when your getting along famously, then some buffoon like Rasputin entices him away. HE said asking Ioreth do the Saintly task was about 'getting people emotionally involved', but I don't believe a word of it...

He did however say, that you could do the honours for our weekend respondants...

By the way, he mentioned something about putting some graphics on Deja.com. You have to apparently look down the homepage to 'My Website' and then go into the Site Manager. Then, it's simply a case of clicking the edit function for files, change setting to 'all files' and browse for your revelant location of your document...

Also, he said to mention, Saint Lil has made up a logo. Could you please inform his majesticness of the relevant address...

Thankyou.

St.Peter - Definitely, Milder than an Indian Curry.

ok.. as soon as she sends it, i'll get the address to you..

Btw.. now worries, mate. io is more than welcome to saint B.E.D. and Dr. J! having such oldtimers waiting for me to stutter would be more pressure than i feel up to today..

St.Peter - Mind you, in his 'divine' wisdom. HE has decreed entrance for Big 'Evil' Dan, despite him being potentially the 13th Angel...

St.Peter - Man of infinite patience.

how very diabolical...!

Some very nice artwork by asteroid Lil... i'm quite partial to the smaller one... not that that makes any difference... did you want it to say N.G.A. anywhere?

http://homestead.deja.com/user.guardian_angels/files/Godlogo1.jpg

http://homestead.deja.com/user.guardian_angels/files/Godlogo2.jpg

Hmmm...I had expected it to be a 'H2G2 Guardian Angels'. Personally, I don't quite know how to tell her. I might use the second one on the page somewhere, because she has obviously gone to some effort...

what's all this about you leaving us? please fess up and explain!

also, you could just ask lil for one just like it with the N.G.A. thing on it.. or i could give you her email address and you can write her a note... OR you can use the given name of your right hand man to access the g.a. email and play with it yourself... your call.

whaddya think of cutlery's name? oh, i should just go over there and find out...

what I thought would be cool, was the 'hg' medallion, with wings tacked onto the back of it, the word NEW across the middle, then 'guardian' curving across the top and 'angels' curving along the bottom... something like that... you?

oh, and the other option is that i could talk to her about the design, and maybe even get mike in on it. they're all so good at this stuff...

I'm NOT really leaving...

* Narrator - 'Because fame's such a transient thing...' *

Look, I don't really mind about the design, just as long as it has 'H2G2 Guardian Angels' somewhere, so if you could 'casually' mention it in passing to Lil or Mike...

BTW I liked the patronage, I probably would have went down that tack as well...

Tact is my middle... no, wait.. that can't be right... Who's responsible for this???

Sorry, it's just that if you leave these clerical types unsupervised for more than five minutes, you end up with a name like Rutabega Gornwich Ribbit-Ribbit... and believe me, i've seen it happen!

so pray tell about this meeting with the great one himself?
*pondering the paradox...*

Uhhh...Hmmm...Very English...

i'm really itching to be an archangel again.. we're creeping up on 20!

hmm. i'll be alright.

Hehehehe...

Saint Bruce, Patron Saint of the Codingly Challenged!

the Pixel Impaired?

the Harddriven?

(not too fond of that last one..a little too obscure.)

* Thinks: 'Getting want you want can be the very tricky business'... *

Well, I thought it was only right...

You might like to set up a your thread idea over at Heaven or Angels. It might be beneficial though to separate it into weeks, so that people know in advance if they can commit to some service ahead of time, and can log-in & log-out there or say they will be available for next week...

I've been posting entries over at the newcomers page (You might have enquiries about hangover cures, but a thought with your record it wouldn't be a problem ) & updating some helpful threads at the angel page, so hopefully that will direct newbies to the page...

* Gumbles audibly *

By the way, MY alter-ego will soon be on the loose * Sigh * named 'Mad Gerald', he is hoping to set-up 'Heaven Sent' - The H2G2 Dating Agency, which will be more 'Benny Hill' than 'Hot'N'Heavy' . He Just wondered if you want to be involved, or indeed have some ideas...

* God wishes to state categorically that HE has no direct involvement with his alter ego, indeed, HE is eternally sorry HE has harboured him for so long... *

- Simply, Going Around the Bend.

*having finally stopped laughing long enough to type!*

the dating thing sounds.. well, frankly, terrifying! HELPING to match up h2g2ers? aiding and abetting their reproduction?! are you MAD?? (oh, yeah, sorry.. forgot..)

what facett are you interested in having me help out with? I just draw the line at being auctioned off!

and, uh... i'm sorta not sure which thread idea you mean for me to set up?
