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

Should still be under warranty then...

How come I had to wait until 1.30pm before I could get back online!!

'snot fair!

True - and we being the hootoo sister and all. I blame the , she was online a lot earlier.

That was my doing - since you were responsible for the downtime.

Still the s fault!!

Hate to be a harbinger of dooooooooom...

But - wasn't there a weird moment a couple of weeks ago when certain researchers couldn't sign in and it turned out to be all the six-digit U-numbers beginning with a '2'?

*Looks at Lil*

*Looks at B'El*

*Looks at self as best he can*

Wooooooooooooo...

*Looks again at Lil*

All right - six-digit U-numbers beginning with a '2' and then up a bit.

Yes dear

You mean that was the reason AGAIN? Can't be, though, because pheloxi and MMF were online before, as were Mu Beta, Danny B, Grey Desk etc

Being a complete techno-know-nothing, I have only guesswork to go on

But it does seem as though those U-numbers which belong around the time SSO was first introduced have some kind of weird relation to it that doesn't apply earlier or later.

It's just a theory. And it's probably very very wrong

*lifts the corner of the new Matt*

Would you like to hide, Trin?

Always!

Maybe it has something to do with who is permanently logged in and who isn't?

Apparently, Peet just said he was able to post at 11.00am today because he didn't sign out

That's around when I came online.

Very few here then, only Derek, Gnomon and a few others.

A very 'Select' few!

We Hootoo Sisters are VERY Select..

Jim Lynn just explained it to me
If you're nice, I'll tell you.

There should be no secrets between us sisters

Apart from the 'rumour mill' that is..
