Oooops! Big Time.
Just rememberd that the guide has a policy on advertising. found an amusing little game to put on my own page recently - well, it's not a page yet, more a collection of general musings, I will design one eventually but I just get so involved in browsing the other postings, that I don't seem to have the time to do so yet, by the way this is a bloody long sentence - just to pass the time you understand, and it was pointed out to me that this was 'blatantly commercial' as it was designed by a search page with a link to it on - but then what about things like fastcounter, so maybe it's ok, but i'll not put it back on until I find out - anyway, sorry guys! It wasn't intentional.
On another point entirely, but not really, 'The Guide' sure is coming along well. All us new users - who'd have thought?
Now I come to think about it, I think it was sometime around April 1999 that I first discovered the site, but at the time it seemed to be just another forum full of stuff, so I didn't bother registering at the time - how wrong can a guy be?
A couple of months later I came back and just kind of 'lurked' for a while until I discovered 'The Index', and it seems to have swamped virtually every other aspect of my life for the moment. Is this a good thing or not?
I'm sure I'll find out eventually. I don't want to end up having to make a film with the opening title 'in (whenever) 1999, this guy dicovered h2g2.com. A year later, his dried out husk was found hunched over a keyboard, these are his postings'.
