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

Hi JimiX,

Sorry about this mass-posting, but I've just taken over the reins of h2g2 University from Peta, and thought it might be an idea to visit the current projects and get a feel for how they're coming along. This is mostly to familiarise myself with the scope of the task I've taken on, but also to make Mark think I'm being industrious.

And I definitely don't mean to be putting on any pressure to finish, or anything like that - we like to get projects when they're ready, not if they're rushed. It's really just to help me get the general h2g2 University picture. Honest.

So, how's your project 'Golf in Hershey, Pennsylvania' coming along?

And on a side-note, how are you, me old mucker?!

-C

I'm going to push my deadline to 1 September.

This thing is taking longer than I had hoped - I had forgotten the first two weeks in July are when a professional golf tour comes to town and it really cloggs up all the courses.

However, I'm on the case and I'm sure I'll be able to wrap things up by the start of school...

So how are things in the Towers? Is it everything you hoped it would be?

Nice timing by the way. Coming to work right when all the automated editing tools are implemented. I told Peta you were a bright guy, but would she listen to me?

Mnaha! Thanks Jimi - I'll update the University pages to "never" then, shall I?

The automated editing tools are excellent - Jim Lynn is some kind of genius. They allow me to exert the full range of my powers at the click of a button...

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I fear no mortal terrors...

And anyway, aren't you the authority on missing h2g2 University deadlines? If I recall correctly, you did it first, you did it best and now you *own* the university.

Me? I seem to remember it was *you* that emailed me in a panic saying our deadline was, like, tomorrow, when we had another whole month left! I think we made it in the end, didn't we?

Personally, I think we should allow 3 years for University projects - that'd give me time for all those sabbaticals I crave. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm paid leave...

You're not knocking my journalistic technique for avoiding missed deadlines are you?

'Hmm, if it's due 1 July and I convince myself it's due 1 June, I'm sure to get it done on time...'

It never fails - except when it does.
