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

Hi there A

I've been given the priviledge of polishing your piece for inclusion in the UnderGuide. If you have anything to add or more ideas I'm working on it here A4326509

Let me know when you think it's finished.

Hope all is well in Silly-land

Frood.

Hi Frood

I'm honoured to have had this piece chosen for the Underguide

Even better that you're editing it - that's great

It's been a lovely day here on the islands but clouding over a little now ... rain for tonight I think.

Have some

Armorel

To be honest, there's very little editing to be done, just added what I thought were some pertinent links. If you think of anything else let me know.

Not sure how long it will be until it hits the FrontPage though, may be a few weeks, the influx of brilliant work to the UnderGuide has been almost gargantuan. I'm avalanched under a landslide of writing!

It's thunder and lightning here for sure soon, had a few days of heat. Ah, I love forked storms

All the best.

Frood

Glad to hear that there's been an avalanche of good writing recently for the Underguide

I'll be patient

We had heat and thunderstorms at the beginning of the week but it's much cooler now. I like storms too We have such a lot of sky and horizon here on the islands that lightning can be really all-encompassing.

By the way, I did spot a edit required in my piece -

"The turquoise-green boat came into view, her white wake streaming out behind it on the calm sea, and her skipper skilfully approached the quay."

- should really have the 'it' replaced by 'her', the comma removed and the 'and' replaced by 'as'

"The turquoise-green boat came into view, her white wake streaming out behind her on the calm sea as her skipper skilfully approached the quay."

Does that make sense?

Hope you had a great weekend

Armorel

That little bit fixed up, weekend has been nice and relaxing

Hope yours was the same, we managed to ahve a picnic in the back garden with the nice weather but now a nother thunder storm looms

Thanks Frood

Couple more links if you think they would be helpful.

http://www.autismuk.com/index30.htm (specifically a UK page)

and

http://isnt.autistics.org/

Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical WARNING: VERY tongue-in-cheek website!!! Quote from webmaster: "This site is an expression of autistic outrage". Three years out-of-date now but still fascinating reading.

Armorel

Will add those, love the ISNT

(UnderGuide Entries can have just about any good link, as long as you are pretty sure it's a stable one...broken links are the bane of my existence )

When you think it's all okay (because I think I've done all I can!) let me know and I'll send it off for final approval

Hi Frood,

The ISNT is great, isn't it?

Well, they've been 'live' since I put them on my Open University T171 website in 2001 so I hope they'll be there for a while yet.

Dead links can be SOOOO frustrating!

Armorel

Looks fine to me, Frood

One down and how many more to go???

Armorel

I've added another link "George's Autistic Spectrum Disorder" need Adobe to open it though. Do you think it's appropriate?

And I don't know what I've let myself in for with this UnderGuide

You interested in volunteering for Mining for the UnderGuide? I believe there's a recruitment drive soon

Hi Frood,

I'd like to be a Miner or a Gem Polisher but, to be perfectly honest, I have so much on my plate at the moment that I don't think I could do it justice. Sorry

The .pdf link is fine but I have to admit that I'm biased. Acrobat crashes my computer almost every time I open it. This can be extremely frustrating if I'm using Firefox and have half a dozen tabs open - I lose the lot

But that's just my personal preference ...

Armorel

I'll take it out then If yourds crashes other peoples might, so best leave it off.

If you ever find time to devote to the UNderGuide, let us know though!

Hello there A! Sorry haven't had time to say hi for a while. Had a dental abcess and work has swamped me too. Hope all is well for you and yours

I'm dropping a line to ask you a question. The National Autistic Society is planning a 'fun day out for families' in Leicester Square, central London, on 25 September 2005, and I wondered if you'd consider having your Entry highlighted on the Front Page through the UnderGuide on that weekend? Or perhaps the weekend before?

The thing is, it's all ready to go and could be put to the Front Page sooner Let me kow if you'd like your name in the brightlights sooner rather than later.

Frood.

Hi Frood,

Oh, I sympathise with your dental abcess - I had to have root canal surgery last week and it's still a bit tender despite antibiotics and painkillers Apart from that, we are all fine here on the islands

I don't mind my piece being 'held' for the Front Page until September if you want to tie in it with the NAS 'Fun Day'. That's fine by me

I'll be patient

Armorel
