Hello, and welcome to the GTBacchus' user page. (last updated: 30 September, 2005)

	The Guide and I

I became an h2g2 researcher on 8 Jan 2001, thus fulfilling a lifelong dream. For the next two-and-a-half years or so, h2g2 was my online home, and my most stable source of identity as I travelled the globe, "researching for the guide" with a satchel and a thumb.

These days, I hang around here a good deal less than I used to. The clubs and jobs listed below are all things that have held some amount of my attention here, for some period of time. I am currently most often found at the FFFF.

Sub-Editor

I spent two years as a member of the Sub-Editor scheme. My personal page here is still the best place to get in touch with me regarding any of my Sub-Editing jobs, and I'm happy to help out with any updates and corrections that may come up. Cheers to Anna and Ashley and Sam and Jimster for helping to make Subbing a real pleasure. Thanks also to all the writers, without whom there would be no point subbing!

Guru

I was very briefly a member of the Guru scheme, when I decided that I knew the site well enough to answer people's questions about it. The site has gone through some changes since then, and I haven't kept abreast of software updates, etc. Still, if you ask me a question, I'll try to answer it, or to point you to someone who can. I'd be better at h2g2 history questions at this point.

Procrastinator

I am a proud member of the Royal h2g2 Procrastinators' Society. I don't attend Society meetings, but I procrastinate. Join the Royal h2g2 Procrastinators' Society here! (when you get a chance...)

Keeper of Pistachios

As Keeper of Pistachios, I will continue eat Pistachios; you can be sure of that. Claim your Keeper title here!

Freedom From Faith Foundation

The Freedom From Faith Foundation is a forum for Freethinkers to discuss... well, freely. I used to hold the FFFF Discordian Bureaucrat and Corruptor of Youth Chair, then the Founder/Chairman ran away with the secretary, and now I'm the Acting Chairman! (we're still taking applications for a new secretary...) Visit the Foundation!

The Myth of 42

I am a true researcher. U166086: 16 - 60 + 86 = 42.

Visit the Myth of 42.

h2g2 Maths Lab

The h2g2 Maths Lab is a place to talk shop about mathematics, get feedback on mathematical entries, ask questions, share games, and generally chill out with numbers. Drop by, and add up a column.

h2g2 Actors Union

I am a proud member of the h2g2 Actors Union. Check the h2g2 Actors Union Homepage for updates on auditions, performances, and/or cast parties, or to join. Let me know if there's anything important going on there, would you?

Fish

Here's a picture of a fish:

Notice how he can swim happily about in the Classic Goo background blue.

Classic Goo Fan Club

I am a member of the Classic Goo Fan Club
