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

I've been the first user mentioned on the 'Who's Online' list all day. This has never happened before, and I feel incredibly special...!

The weather is remarkably awful. Heavy, but still glary, overcast, with billious clouds still visible in the gloom. It would probably be cold outside, but I've had no compelling urge to be there for the whole of today.

I think I've lost my poetry... This is not the general feeling for the day, however, because I think things, really, are looking up... I just wish that the weather could be more reflective of this feeling.

What kind of order is the Who's Online list in? Is it in the order of who's been on the longest? It's not in alphabetical order. I don't think it's in numarical order.

I don't think it's in any particular order at all - just which numbers the server can generate first in response to the query. I suspect that this is why I'd never seen the phenomenon of being first on the list before, I'd just never lucked out in that way.

It is interesting, though, isn't it...?
