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

It's Tomorrow Already

Posted Jan 15, 2002

So today I hooked up a wireless network. AirPort, to be exact. With the help of Walleye Priestess. And in a week she'll be back in her dorm, with New and Improved ethernet access.

I'm an Ace now. I was somewhat surprised - I did find out by getting the e-mail..... So of course I hopped right on to the Guide to see if it was in fact the real thing. And indeed it was!

And in a week my classes start. Then I'll lock into a schedule and you can all count on me being around with some regularity.

But I am back, for the most part - I mean it now - especially now that we have this $%*&((& iBook figured out (it was giving us Issues). Not that I'm typing up on it, but we have to have WP all ready to go with it in less than a week. And I'm a newborne babe to OS X.

But it's quite late and I'm tired. And I'm sure I'll have many many new peoples to greet when I get back on to find all the new researchers just waiting to be descended upon by Aces frothing at the mouth. (Not really, but I'm tired.) I hope my page is good enough to serve as a links page; I've basically made it that for my own sake. I think making a "Page of Links" would be somewhat redundant.... I know. I'll make a page of links upon which are links to pages of links.... That would be beautifully and remarkably redundant.

I have a lot to update for my page. I may have to create a spare link page for me. But that would be a shame to have to do.

So I'm signing off; hello to everyone. Fear not of posting. I'll be back to converse some more. Good night.

2002, still Year of the Snake

Posted Jan 8, 2002

So this is a very short trip to the Guide, as I am on Walleye Priestess' computer - her new friend - and we are in the inklings of getting set up, tho' it seems Norton Utilities has some Issues with her OS X partition. I must speak with the techies at the Apple Store on this matter, as OS X is very new to me still.

I hope to be on again soon; I have a lot to accomplish in a week or two. Of course, I have a baby quilt to finish for a friend as well, amnd I don't even have it half-done. But hopefully I can use my time contructively.

I need to come up with a good subject for a Guide entry to have edited... I need practice before beginning a Uni project.

So much to do. I was going to mention something brilliant but I forgot. But anyway, those of you trying to get a hold of me or whatever, fear not. I'll be back to my old Guide ish self in no time. ANd when I get these damn headaches cleared up, I will not need sleep, as I am an art student with a penchant for fire and metal. And time-comsuming self-torture.

And fellow Muses, don't worry, I'll have the Spa up and going well soon. I do still need to find pictures. If you know of any that would be good for it, post them to somewhere on my space or in the forum for the Spa.

I should probably get off WP's computer - tho we are getting her set up, and hopefully she'll have ethernet on her return to school in a couple weeks. Until then we've got a lot to figure out, so bear with us.

Ciao, all; happy new year and I hope all your goodly endeavors are successful.

Signing Off, Perhaps Till 2002

So a Happy New Year to all, especially the Brits and the rest of those who will celebrate it before myself...

I may be back on tomorrow; it's not blooming likely, but it could happen. It would be rather nice to do some more work on the Spa before the actual New Year's, but failing that I'll have a day or two to thumb through all the loverly pictures and figure out how to put them up. I need to brush up on my HTML.

Hmm, strawberries and tea....
Anyway, it was only 20 minutes (read: an hour), so I was pretty good today. I got on without getting sucked in. After such withdrawal, you have to admit that takes will power.

I still have to wonder about the Uni project and ..something else which decided to slip my mind moments before being mentioned. But also, I intend to start my own Uni project this summer - so all of you keep a watch out, becuause I'm going to get an entry or two edited and then start on a project I feel must be done. Assuming it hasn't been done already. Which I also need to check up on.

So I will be back on in less than a week. Greetings to you all, and condolences as well to many. Happy solstice, and happy new year... Happy happy.

Well, I managed to stay off the Guide for almost 2 weeks. Had my final, got railroaded by the christmas season, sat there in a daze in the aftermath. I hope my projects haven't disintegrated.....

I have a *lot* to check up on. I don't think it's going to happen tonight. But this journal is basically a flag for all you March Hare fans (I wish) out there to let you know that I am back in action, or will be shortly. I will spend **20 MINUTES** (read: an hour) checking messages and whatnot, and then I will turn to my other homeish duties. I have to replace a belt in my vacuum cleaner, may its hair-clogged soul rest in peace, get the remaining hair off my floor (this is what I get for having three feet of hair and a half-roomie who sheds like so many cats), and resume cleaning this place up, as tomorrow night I will have FOUR people, yes FOUR, in my apartment!! See the amazing Defeat of Physics! Observe as People Pack into Far Too Small A Space! Amaze at the Blatant Disregard for Immutable Natural Law!

But anyway, I am on, and once we get her hooked up and plugged in, and over here where her new mac baby is being baby-sat, Walleye Priestess will be back on the Guide too. And if the cosmos let me have my way, she'll be blessèd with ethernet when she gets back to school.

I actually did my laundry. And folded it too (the older done-laundry). Isn't that odd?
I hope I find the perfect place and I get to move in March... that's my goal. This apartment was cute for the first two years, but it's undergrown me. Not to mention that the kitchen is so small I was barely able to coordinate a small Solstice dinner. (Don't ask me where we ate it. I have no tables.) And that gets annoying after four years. So does the lack of control over my environment.

Well, a preemptive Happy New Year's to most of everyone; those of you following the Chinese lunar calendar will get another Happy New Year of the Horse (complete with a lovely -style cup of green ) around February 12th, I believe it is? Anyway, catch me if you can. The clock has started.

Well, I missed the christmuse dinner...
..But I updated the Cube's answer page
Yet I didn't get to all my postings...
...But I updated my page and went on a Crusade, and I also jotted down lots of nifty links to check out and look up.

Yes, I added a couple little bits to my page, and checked up on my fledgling entries (all you Muses: Look for the Spa!) Actually, there are a number of things that I have involvement with that haven't been updated to show my contributions... But I know many people are busy. I just fear people not being able to find my little contributions, and having them dwindle away...

When I start a Pokemon League, I suppose that'll go up on the SSS page of the Musehome, won't it? It'll be a site/society run by a Muse...

Umm, is anyone out there? I need involvement!!
Actually, what I noticed that's really odd, is that IRL I don't bother much reaching out to new individuals; I'd rather strengthen my connections to the friends I alreayd have. On the Guide, it seems I'm constantly reaching out. Hmm, I could go into interesting psychology on that...

I'm feeling better today than I was yesterday. It can suck having a spiritual illness. But I regain strength when I can.
And I'm already into Return of the King in the Lord of the Rings... and Walleye Priestess makes it home in 6 days, and Dancer's healthy again, and well, all the rest of you seem oot and aboot and doing well enough (condolences to Ottox, though)....

I'm signing off. I think I'll be able to build up the Inspiration Spa before the holiday rush is over, so that people can relax; over break if not by the New Year I'll have a Pokemon League, and...

I'll find the damn Superheroes and Supervillains societies if it takes me all next month!!!!
