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

Elam... I know I've run across a name or something like that, somewhere. But since I can't swear to it being the first name of the Cardasian tailor on Star Trek- DS9, I'll have to wait for perhaps a European to respond.

So, how are you doing? I see you in the brain-teaser threads, frequently. Oddly enough, you also always seem to be chatting-up the ladies Having only been here a month or so, I've made a limited number of chatty-friends, but the list grows.

Anyway, do have a pleasant one. I tip a to being 44, and another to H2G2 being 5

'svelte' ? Ceertainly not this middle-aged, middle-spreading lad.

But thank you for the assumed compliment

Hi Rev...
Nice to hear from you, and good of you to pop round.
Yes, Those young ladies keep me amused. They appeared to be the only folk who are here, around my age, so good to meet another. You are welcome to an or 10 on me. They were alsothe first to visit my PS, so another first.
I too am relatively new, and having a warped sense of humour means the word thread is ideal. However I'm also a pedant

Enjoy, and chat soon. Normally around, mon-fri usually between 17:00-19:00.

A mutual friend, the lovely B'Elana tells me that you are attending a Meet this season, with a digital camera. It would prove rather interesting to put some faces with names. Might it be reasonable to exchange e-mail addresses sometime for movement of a few photos? Particularly of the fun folk on the word-play threads. Thanks to e-mail, I already know what Lady Bel and family appear like.

Just something for you to ponder.

and

Also an ... N.

Hiya Rev,
I did receive your note, but having probs keeping up today, as a little light-handed at w*rk.2 colleagues off, so it's a full 08:20 to 19:10 shift today and tomorrow, and today's the busiest day. By myself tomorrow so don't know what will happen.
I'm not sure on photo front, only coz I'm new to the Photography lark, and haven't managed the old 'Attachment' lark yet. Will certainly have a go when I get the time. Shall post my addy sometime soon on your PS, although rather cautious of giving it out, as I don't want loads of flooding it. I have just had to change it, because of that, with all the that goes with it. Will advise soon. You could ask B'Elana if I've given it to her. Can't remember.



N.

so...Nick, Neville, Nigel, Niel, Noel? mines on my PS, although I don't like it and prefer either N or . Also St. Scuttle on 3N!

For quite a number of years, nearly 45 in fact, people have seen fit to call me Nick. So I guess that one will do.

Should you manage some photos and decipher the attachment bit, do let me know. B'Elana already has several addresses for me. I've also established one as the primary for hootoo'rs to contact me with. Keeps the occassional, hard-to-explain note from popping up in front of the missus. She doesn't quite see the attraction of H2G2, I don't see anything in her day-time 'shows'. We average out. I'll advise you of that address when-ever you see appropriate.

Now please do enjoy your work day. I'm sure we'll meet again on the threads sometime.

Brain-burp at the moment, nothing to follow "Karen".

However, by master, I was referring to 'the man is the master of the household' kinda notion. Yours idea, on the other hand, well ...

Have a good one, friend

So, I got totally the wrong end of the stick ? It was the 'Wupping' (sic) that led me down that road....still....just makes me think of Mick Jagger and kitchen, lounge and bedroom, but on that note, I'd better stop before I dig myself an even bigger hole...
Later, Nick...

N.

And a mostly-fun time had by all, eh? I've heard a bit from Jen, and read Claudia's re-cap. And Lorraine and "Unc" precis. Leaving me a bit more of . But I am looking forward to what-ever libraries or galleries of pics develop.

In general, how are you today? A bit less I should hope.

Hi there,
The head still feels as though the TA are doing a square-bashing rehearsal, although they are getting out of earshot slowly...Ah the joy of self-inflicted wounds ...Drinking at 15:00 on a Saturday, with a relatively empty stomach, is not good at this time of life
It was a good day, apart from the weather , which was adversely affecting Claudia and Jen. In the end we moved into the sun, and then to the Pub, hence the head.
As per usual, I took too much , , food, so had to bring it all back. Almost killed me, especially as it was a 'Two steps forwards one step back, followed by a little sideways jétée. Managed to get home in one piece.
Yes I have taken the Photos, 20 in total, and if you want to post your addy on my space, I'll e-mail them to you, although I've not worked out how to do thumbnail attachments yet.
Some of the pictures are a bit fuzzy though.
Drop by and I'll send them.



A very green MMF.

Claudia has already sent one, a 6-pack in the pub. But indeed, the rest can find me here at work, via

Perhaps 3 to 5 at a time to ease your ISP, depends on the sizes.

And what do you mean, at your age? Plus or minus 2 years, I'm there as well. And I'm YOUNG da*n it !!! (As I say to the mirror every morning)

Right, small postings it is. I'll do it through the week.
Typical of Claudia to be so quick off the mark . She's too sharp for her own good .

You've known Claudia longer than I, you know you have to be very sharp to slip anything past her.

My mail-box here should be good for large measures, I just didn't know what your carrier might allow as limits. Fire away as time permits.

And

And I haven't been on the word threads yet
No worries on the photos, being broadband of all of one week . I even inpressed myself with that one, despite selling the products. My first attempt at connecting was abysmal. . Definitely a case of calling on a 14 year old.....

My DSL hook-up didn't do well, using the carriers recommendations. So I defaulted to my then-25-years of electronics. Much brandy and a lot of by-guess-and-by-golly. It was working beautifully in an hour. It was that or the much bigger hammer.

Actuall, with a 5+ MB mail-box at home, why don't you just ship there? Reads as

njkeip @ sympatico dot ca

Should handle quite a wave at once, I'd think.

Nick, Consider it done.

Claudia and I were wondering, did you take the pics at 320 x 200 resolution? Or reduce them for easier shipping? SHe says it is quite a nice camera you have, so I was curious.

Again, thanks and , friend.

Hi, yes I shipped at low sizing, as I am no and haven't worked out thumbnails yet. The camera is a Canon Powershot G5, which I bought at a very competitive price. Slightly more than I could afford, but the deal was too good. 5 megapixel and similar, but not, an SLR, which I would have prefered. I can send them full size if you wish....up to you. No worries my end.....

N

Oh yes, full sized would be preferred. Perhaps a couple at a time until either my mail-box is full or they've gone. I have quite a battery of editing software that can take them down and still retain quality.

And yes, the entire Canon series is quite impressive, we have several at work. I "only" have a Kodak 2 MB pixel, but it does some fine family shots, especially with active grand-kids.
