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

*totally focused on the alluring steak smell does not notice the leaping form of Njan. Three sword handles poke out from underneath Red Dog's cloak and it is not possible to see the markings on them nor discern in anyway which swords they might be. Will Njan's hand grasp sword 1, 2 or 3 ?*

*noticing that the middle sword handle looks conspicuously like it's plastic, cost $3, and came from the KB Toys outlet which red dog came from the vicinity of, njan focuses in on the two remaining swords he has before making his decision, a split second later.. he eyes up the two models, and opts for the lower of the two swords, arcing through the air, drawing, and landing, sword-in-hand, terminal-pen in the other, behind red dog, ready on a moments notice to push the ominous green button*

*njan turns his eyes to the sword..*

Njan to make this entirely random I wrote the sword and corresponding number on a piece of paper before I opened the posting. I'm taking that you discarded No 2 as the middle and have selected "the lower" number ie No 1 over No 3.

I got Moscow by the way from your journal I think .... I genuinely thought you were there hence my dicking around there for the last few weeks. I wanted to give you a surprise when you got back on line. Trust everything is and good for you. RD



*...... and sees a stylised Hammer on the hilt. Njan is holding Shieldbreaker once more*


~very surprised~


Hey !!

*grins*.. I should say I expect no less of you. .. and I'm most flattered for the attention and detail; it's the fault of my laziness that you didn't know where I was. *grins*.. I never update my journal these days, it seems.

Things are fairly tight, but we're surviving and things are starting to pan out; we have a vague idea of where we'll be in six months and how we're going to get there, which is always nice.

*njan, most pleased, does a kurgen-esque twirl with the sword and slides it into a sheath on his back*

*self-satisfied grin*

Njan, your website appears to be down...?

(ooc).. yes, the provider's server has inexplicably just disappeared. I'm going to transfer the domain to one of my servers just as soon as the machine's come back online so I can pull a backup of my data off it.(/ooc)

*looks around and walks over to the pretzel booth*

* ....... and puts his heel down in some steak drool. Njan ...... *

*.. slips backwards, falling backwards towards reddog, who ..*

(ooc) ftr, the hosting company who my domain resided with have now gone out of business, and the DNS is presently being transferred.. once that's gone through and it proliferates, it'll point at one of my bsd or linux servers. (/ooc)

Njan: Hey, that sucks. While on the subject of Linux... http://www.groklaw.net/ ... I hope you're keeping up-to-date?

Rather than me having to wait until your site's back up to get you e-mail address, why don't you e-mail me? [email protected]

(ooc) Of course I am, don't be silly :p (/ooc)

* ..... reaches out to catch him but grabs thin air as Njan dematerialises*

*RD looks down and see's a small flyer lying on the ground about the delights of Glenrothes in Scotland*
