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

keeps going down when i'm in the middle of something then takes ages to log back on - which is why i am so far behind in replying to everyone's posts - so thanks to all and sundry for the luck wishes, 'fraid i won't be able to reply properly until tomorrow due to aforementioned server problems and a wee argument over the dedication of phone lines in this house

... and it's so hard to find a priest at this time of night?

sorry, another bad pun - but it's late at night, and i've had too much coke, too much good company, and too little sleep, so i think i should be excused

Hang in there...pass that exam...we'll still be here

As for phone lines, I seem to find myself constantly wanting more. Somehow that always seems to be the solution to those arguments.

thanks - today's went surprisingly well (got to write lots of cool rants about how screwed our governmental system is and this righteous piece about the government hypothetically basically killing off the courts he he he)

as to phone lines we already have two and no matter how many times i suggest we switch the internet to my line i am still fighting for time with the fax and the two phone numbers on the other line (ie the one we use for the internet) arrrggggh.

nevermind, i'm moving out soon, and i'll have to buy my own puter.

bad server! baaaad server! Don't do it again!

too much caffeine johnny - take a break man

We're up to two phone lines & a frame relay connection to the internet...and suddenly our web sites are getting hit more and we may have to pay for a fatter pipe or move to a hosting service...ah, the joys of technology. Wasn't this stuff supposed to make our lives easier?

Oh well. Once you're past exams and moved out and with your own phone line and computer...well, I guess we'll see you over in the H2G2 Addicts topic.

have already visited the addicts site, but things got awfully technical so i scurried back over here

it's a bit like that whole thing about the paper less office i guess too

"Paperless office," what a crock of shit. I fear I go back far enough to remember when that was first being touted...before we all realized that computers allowed us to churn out lots MORE paper with almost no effort. At this point I figure the only way I'll see a paperless office is as part of the smoking rubble of a collapsed industrial civilization...hmm...aren't we supposed to be having that after December 31?

well we'll get it before you, so i'll let you know (or maybe not)

Hm, well, there is that. I guess if I wake up January 1 and there's no H2G2 here I'll assume you're off knocking over rabbits with rocks or something. Seems to me that law will be a less attractive proposition once civilization collapses. Me, I'll be hauling water from the spring, since the pump ain't gonna work without electricity.

oh no, i've been informed by some comrades who shall remain nameless that i need to continue with law so that they have someone to draft the constitution when the revolution comes which kind of seems like there's no point in having a revolution, if everything's going to be inherently the same, but hey, i better be careful or it'll be my back against the wall
