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

Haven't done this for a bit, so bear with me and don't be too harsh if the usual flying-along word-verve isn't in evidence.

No, the PC I regularly used still isn't fixed yet, AFAIK, but this may be about to change.

Round about the 7th of September our broadband connection fell over. That's why I've not been around since then (well, hardly at all). I've no idea what the problem is/was, but then neither does (our ISP) which makes me feel less bad about that. As it's not actually my PC and belongs to a close family member with a fairly stressful life at the best of times I have not in all clear conscience felt able to pester them about this. As I've said before my absence has been solely a matter of hardware failure and nothing to do with anyone or anything on h2g2.

As I said, there may be light at the end of the tunnel on this, but given some of the stuff I've read in the last twenty minutes since I logged on I'm not sure if I will be coming back here on a regular basis or not.

I tried to keep the h2g2 Post going as a kind of tribute to Shazz, who I feel enormous respect and gratitude towards. I know we made mistakes and I know we may have changed the style a little bit, but I don't think either of those things should really be surprising. However the fact remains that inadvertantly or not I appear to have caused Shazz and (I expect) the current Post team a lot of grief and hassle. I feel very bad about this and am currently considering options.

Sorry everyone.

Oh my posts aren't that bad.
