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

Just got this brilliantly simple idea from Abbi ()!
This space to be used to list all those nice useful links that come up in convo's, that you keep meaning to go back to & then forget where you saw it!

If you want to use this space, feel free, but PLEASE keep it for this purpose, not for general chat (carry on nattering elsewhere on the journal though please!!)

so: link (nice clicky ones please!) & brief description of what it is & where you found it.
Comments regarding the links back in the "Eyes" section (refer to the "Links" Post no.s)

Terri

Here we go!
--from my list of Guide Entries:

A889194 De Myelin Nation. Lots of fun people who just happen to be affected by various conditions. PLEASE VISIT!

A899760 B.U.S Birmingham Users Society, for anyone who's ever even heard of the place. Started by me & Z, sadly neglected at present, please go & liven it up!

A745544 Bookworms .For anyone into reading things other than computer screens. Started by Z, great place!

A703126 United Friends of h2g2. The place to go for friendly, caring people, we need more of them. Feel free to pop in if you need cheering up, or want to help those who do.

--from my Friends list:

A871625 Prisoner Fan Club (via FadÖôkié Froody) Not visited yet myself, so can't comment, let me know!

--from Journal convo's (Eyes 4)

U203563 then A831656 Time-zones info about hootoo researchers. Kea, keeper of the time-zones here, well worth visiting the bigger picture & registering yourself (see who else is in your time-zone)

http://www.dicaprio.com All you ever wanted to know about Leo, unofficial site, lots of pretty photo's to over!Jellen!

F48874?thread=239762 Z's latest article on the immune system, in Peer review, don't worry about typo's just read it & see what you think.

http://www.teoma.com jazzedupcurry recommendation to neugen re James Burke. Not been yet, so can't comment, please do if you have.

http://www.palmersguide.com/jamesburke (another from Jellen, to neugen) Looks good!

A848658 Hootoo front page, Games you can play in the office. Jellen recommended!


Right, lets see how many of this lot appear in pretty highlights (copying bloody numbers is not my favourite game!)

Terri for the blatent plug, I wondered why it was getting so much traffic!

DE RIEN! as they say on the Lets parlez Franglais thread, which will soon appear here!
THE place to go to meet froggy speaking/froggy lovers(!) & they're well into the bi-lingual puns.

One of them "Loup d'Argent" would like to buy you all a drink at:

"THE FoLDer's Arms" A913150

Other little gems I've found so far:

http://www.ebay.co.uk for ticket booking ( The guy with the Brown Hat/ Saturnine)

If you want to post a question to the rest of the hootoo world, go to:
F19585 (Ask h2g2)
--but for gods sake DONT click on "notify me of conversations" or you'll spend the rest of your life trying to unsubscribe!

If you want to find someone who knows about the technical bits of hootoo DONT ASK ME but click on Gurus (the chances of that highlighting are slim)

enough for now!

Terri wanted a link to my article on "things to consider when reading medical research" it's here - A852761

Some links to where people live in RL, more would be nice!

jazzedupcurry lives in Canada, & this one's about one of Canada's biggest Folk Festivals & has a nice photo of the skyline on the front page:

--the last version didn't seem very nice to Angoumoisins! But photo's are OK. We live in the St.Ausone area of the old town, just down from the cathedral.

For those with a bit of French, the mairie has put something out;

http://www.mairie-angouleme
