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

yea, system is live!

Did you see the launch page? Tav's hamster and picture is really

Yes - I like the hat.

Hey - Dmitri and Pastey put the new front page up. Take a gander if your still up.

That's pretty neat!

I just got my proper computer up and running, now I can work on smilies...

Don't forget the eggplant one! D is very fond of it. I'm glad you got it back in good working order. Let's hear it for NI s.

No, this is the one I still had in Germany. A proper desktop one. I managed to get the computer and a monitor in a suitcase The slow geeks are still working on the laptop.

I thought that was too good to be true. Where are all the Gael toms when you need them? Feral ones here are just too rare.

Plenty of them here. Just heard someone on the bus today talking about "Jamie and Turlough in engineering"

I wonder what type of engineering, anyway your skull picture was AWESOME. Do they have any idea what happened to this person? Has it been carbon-dated? I wonder what it's owner would have thought of ending up in an anthropology lab in Northern Ireland.

No idea, I'm afraid, I just know he's skull number 12. And probably met a violent end; there's a massive cut mark above his eyebrow.

Old bar fight wound if he was from NI. Can they tell from skulls whether the vic was male or female---all my CSI comes from TV and they make up stuff.

Well, I think they can, but not with certainty: http://anthropology.si.edu/writteninbone/comic/activity/pdf/skeleton_male_or_female.pdf

Very cool skull that was Mala, thanks. How are you doing? Are you enjoying your classes and extracurricular activities? Did you get any further with making connection?

I realize you are busy. I hope you are doing the stuff you want to be doing, as well as preparing more smilies for us.

Did you do the ?

Hi Elektra - sorry, things have indeed been very busy here lately. Still catching up on the internet.

Yes, the is one of mine - and more on the way!

How's life chez les Gheorgheni?

We're grumpy that its getting cooler, but other than that it's OK. I hope you had some opportunities to do some fun stuff an all.

Did you ever get your main computer back from repair yet? Just wondering.

No, and it's been half a year! I just called them and they said they'd send it back to me and give me my money back. No apology, even...

But I brought over my desktop PC from Germany, so at least I have one to work on now.
