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

I remember being a newbie once. Not many people came aound to say hi!

So hello!
Welcome to h2g2...

I went and pestered a few people in a pre-emptive strike instead.
Is it just me or has your name got shorter recently?

It varies in length from day to day. I am always Saturnine though. Just with different hats!

So how are you finding it? Easy? Hard? Kerazy? Political? Sneaky? ?

There's rather a lot of it which I'm avoiding for now - especially all those food fights. If I'm only allowed one adjective for the whole of h2g2, I suppose it would have to be "populous".

PS is that mouse one of your hats?

I have just discovered that mice run the world, so no, it's not one of my hats, but they are around here somewhere!!

ask h2g2 is a good place to get involved in! But yep, it's a bit hectic...

Just discovering that mice run the world. So you've only just read the books. I didn't realise there were people who didn't know them .

42

There are lots of people who haven't read them! I'm only on the second book right now. I'm adament I wouldn't have liked it all so much if it weren't for this site...

Oh no, my Message Centre has been hi-jacked!

It's OK really. You two chat between yourselves while I go and try to draw a car...

>try to draw a car<

For fun?

No he's trying to become a Community Artist. Has to draw an illustration for: Driving Etiquette - Germany

Hi people. Less of the personal pronouns please. SEF or SEF's should be short enough anyway (I don't mind it or its either but that can be difficult in context). Note that I've even given you all a vowel so that my name wouldn't be confused with a different abbreviation and those who have to read out loud would be able to pronounce it!

I've done some of my research for the first article so I'll get back to the drawing board now...

I see!

Fantastic!

Good luck!

Yo, Saturnine! You're still(?) up. I just noticed there were 42 researchers online! Then I noticed you were one of them. I'm still working on the art entries but Mina likes them so far...

I'm just about to go to bed...

Hey, well done. Glad to see some more artists around here. We need as many as we can get. I need a Marilyn Manson portrait done if you aren't busy

I jest.

I thought you were joking about the Marilyn Manson portrait, but then I saw all those Articles attached to your personal space. I don't do portraits well and am not sure what MM looks like (have an idea MM is actually a male and in the music industry though). At the moment CA's aren't allowed to take commissions (for h2g2). However, as just SEF I suppose I could do some art for you but it wouldn't necessarily then be allowed to go onto the h2g2 site. Also I only work for free these days (usually for schools, charities and friends) or occasionally for !

I was kidding! Honest!!!

Hey Saturnine! (if you're still subscribed to this conversation)

There's a $10,000 poetry competition on Yahoo! I don't know the details though. Is this one you've seen already?

I'd better check your space...

No. I didn't know about that. It's probably 'net submission only though, I imagine.

Actually. It's been something I have been meaning to post up - for people to let me know details of any competitions. *thinks*

Do you want some eyeball code then?

ooooooooooh

Well. If you like!
