So long and thanks for the fish (code)
by mtgrares » 26 Jun 2009, 17:22
I just wanted to thank Dennis, Rob, zerker2000 and anybody else that I've missed that have been doing a great job with all of the programming. I've taken the leisurely backseat and let them do all of the hard work.

Actually it is the title of a book that continues the Saga of THGTTG. Brilliantly funny by the way. And yeah thanks to all the innovators. It is nice that you guys take the time to do that stuff. Just as I appreciate the work of the noncoders.mtgrares wrote:I just wanted to thank Dennis, Rob, zerker2000 and anybody else that I've missed that have been doing a great job with all of the programming.

It's also a line from the book/radio play/tv serial/movie. The dolphins say it on their way off earth before the Vogons show up.

I'm with Rob on this one. Glad I was wrong though.Rob Cashwalker wrote:The subject scared me for a moment... I thought you meant it.
But please, do not do that again.
And yes, you coders do an awesome job.

I just remember really enjoying that book which imho is better than its predecessors.Rob Cashwalker wrote:It's also a line from the book/radio play/tv serial/movie.

If you want, I've got MP3's of the radio play, and video files of the tv series. The radio show came before the book, BTW.GandoTheBard wrote:True enough.

Cool maybe burn em to a cd and I can borrow them when we meet? It will bring back memories of my early teens, listening to it with my dad and wondering what the heck they were on about. Took a few episodes before I started getting the gist.

The radio play is especially funny (got an 8 cd box here), but the TV series is quite funny too. I seem to have gathered quite a Hitchhiker's Guide collection here; the trilogy in five parts, the radio play, the tv series, the movie, the comic book, the radio play script..... Now if I could just get my hands on the real guide, a Babel Fish and a Pan Galactic Garggle Blaster, I'd be in heavenRob Cashwalker wrote:If you want, I've got MP3's of the radio play, and video files of the tv series.
