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

Welcome to H2G2, and I hope that you find that putting things on a website is as fun (or more so ) than creating them. When you say "The South", do you mean Southern US, Southern UK, Southern Europe, or do you just mean Australia? Forgive my curiosity, but this site is occasionaly Anglocentric.

All that aside, if you need any help, advice, or conversation, just ask me! I'm an Assistant Community Editor (ACE) and it's my pleasure (I don't say job because I'm a volunteer) to meet, greet, and aid people who join the guide!

Oh, and have a fish

~Irving Washington, ACE

Another cat! Hellooooooo! I'm also an ACE so I'm here to meet and greet newbies!

Let me just join the general welcoming, and say that there's a welcoming message to all newcomers over here

And, in case you hadn't noticed, the "don't panic" button in the top menu links to an occasionally useful help section.

As I recall, most people who work with computers (and generally with a sense of humour) seem to find the Bastard Operator From Hell-stories rather amusing. They're not on h2g2, but over at http://members.iinet.net.au/~bofh/

Thank you for the fish and the welcome, I live in the southern US. Actually in a place called Abingdon in the state of Virginia. Here the world actually moves at an almost understandable pace. I am more used to the comfortable insanity of the furniture capital of the world High Point, North Carolina where I lived for more than ten years. Computers, for me started out as a hobby, and for a while I was a trouble shooter for one of those fabulously elegant furniture manufacturers, but I am mostly illiterate in the methods of utilizing the things (possibly monsters)I have created. Because of this I am still relatively poor, which I thought was silly, but when I would ask about this, I was then completely deluged with, what I concidered to be, complete nonsense about intellectual property rights, and how as a valuable, (but replaceable employee), I was meant to have been proud to have done so much for the advancement of the company. Consequently I looked for any excuse I could find in order to make a grand, but uneventful, exit from the ranks. So here I am, and I think that I am happy, if poor. I now hope to enter the ranks of happily insane writers in my spare time. That is something I think I will enjoy doing, and the job I have now will provide both sufficient funding to support my wife and two kids, as well as offer me the time to pursue my literary insanity.
I hope I have not been too boring, again thank you, and if I might be allowed. Here's a fish for you . (I hope I did that right).

Litery insanity? Another writer!

I write myself. What genres?

Writing fishies

You did, indeed, do the right! And don't worry, most of us here are, like you, literally insane... wait, that came out wrong... how about "happily insane" and in pursuit of "literary insanity".

~Irving

I am not really sure what you would call a scifi/adventure/horror/comedy????? I enjoy all of those particular genres, and most of the work I have done in the past reflects that. I have only been published a very few times with short pieces for magazines, and without much credit allowed to come to my direction. More of that "intellectual property" stuff. However, the fore mentioned likings have begun, to my joyful surprise, to want to turn themselves into a novel, and though it will be the first time I have tried to undertake something of this magnatude, I look towards the future with a sort of in my little grey cells. (Such an odd feeling that). As it goes so far, my wife is smiling too.

Thank you so much, but I believe your first assumption was probably more correct, at least as far as it refers to me. I have found myself many times with coporate deadlines on a particular paper staring me directly in the face, without a single word in my mind. My remedy for this was generally; six Red Wolf lagers, and a White Horse Scotch chaser. At this point my fingers would began to fly over the keyboard of my horribly outdated corporate PC, and by morning was proud to display a report and plan that looked conciderably better than I did. I of course with no clue of how I had accomplished it.
Hows that for "literally insane"?
Gosh this is a great site, thanks to all of you!
Why haven't I been here before????
D. Morrison
