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

Got an a-okay from Bumble.

Great
I have Pierce's write-up and pictures sorted, so watch out for it on Thursday

We are having a mini-meet when Min... err Linda and BluesShark come over at the end of May, but the official one will probably be late Sept/early Oct

shazz

End of May is precisely bad timing... I'll be in Domburg first week of June. Is that anywhere near you?

Looking foreward to the next Post

Not that I'm aware of - it's in Germany isn't it?

shazz

Ok, got the real info now. We shall be staying at Scharendijke/Zeeland in the vicinty of Renesse (Gawd help us ).

Is that anywhere near you?

No idea! I will have to look
Most places in Holland are only a short train/bus ride away, though - the benefit of living in a small country I suppose!
Back later when I've investigated!

By car approximately 1 1/2 hours... checking public transport now
I should have known where it is really...

shazz

If you email me I have lots of details

shazz

Oooppps! Here's this thread, then....
Say, what are the dates for Mina, Blues et al. to turn up? Around the 31 May by any chance?
I'm thinking about actually digressing from my planned trip if that should be the case.

Yep! They are arriving on the 31st and staying overnight. Marijn is doing the same, but I think Bossel will stay for the weekend

It would be brilliant if you could make it also! We have room
There is a thread at A742060 for more info and for signing-up

Hi Shazz!
I just found the original html version of the first Post (file created 9.12.99 at 00:05). Intersted or do you have that anyway?

Must be the second one Tube - the first was out on 6th December. I think I have it anyway, but can't tell right now as my monitor is kaput and I can't see my saved files to check!

Out of curiosity, where did you find it?

Are you going to the London Meet btw? It looks like I'll be able to make it after all.

shazz

Sorry, I did not phrase that clearly. It's the Post from the 6th, but I saved (created) the file on the 9th.
I found it on my harddisk, looking for the first version of my Uspace, out of curiosity.

No, sorry. July is to busy already

Ahhh I see. How curious to save the first ever Post! You must be one of the few (if any) to have a copy of the original html version AND a paper Post signed by neary all attendees!

I'm still waiting for Phillips to come and replace my monitor, so still can't check if I have the original! I should have, but I may have changed it all to GuideML in my copy when transferring it onsite here. (What a long job that turned out to be - first into GuideML and onto h2g2, then redo it all when the BBC took over!)

Sorry I won't see in in July Perhaps later in the year for the next Official Dutch Meet eh?

shazz

Wow! I didn't think that far but... boy!

Sounds like a bloody lot of repeatedly the same work.

Yeah, about the London meet. I'll do the Winter one though, I guess.

When yould that Dutch meet be?

Probably late October again - it seemed to suit most people last time. The trick is to try and choose a suitable night at HK - that last one wasn't one I'd have gone for by choice I must admit!

shazz

So, you still need the old html?

Looks like it

Could you email it over for me?

*Goes all sentimental and misty eyed*
Ahhh - those were the days eh?
