Current Main projects

I'm currently starting a community project called Star Trek - The Project. There isn't much on Star Trek in H2G2, so I thought I'd add one. It is based losely on the principles of The Cathederal of Terry Pratchett.

I've also added a few resources for prospective contributors to take advantage of. Check out the main page for more details.

Current Sub projects

Nothing at the moment but I am now more active in The Cathedral of Terry Pratchett.

Last Main project

My Computers in Science Fiction project is finally complete! Phew, what a rollercoaster. It includes the entries on: TV, Movies, Books, Contemporary movies, androids, robots and cyborgs. Each has it's own entry. It took ages. It's not a definitive guide to the computers, just an exploration of their evolution.

My guide to Temporal Mechanics is finally in the EG! Queue much celebration and asprin (you'll understand when you read it!).

Annecdote

"I remember when this introduction used to be one paragraph long."

---

¹ There is a similar annecdote: When the Russians were designing Buran, their copy of the American Space Shuttle, they were faced with a decision. Build three highly complex, robust and re-usable engines on the back of the shuttle, or place four "one-off" disposable engines on the base of the fuel tank². They went for option B. They also came up with a feasability studty that showned that the shuttle was a highly inefficient and expensive way to get into space. Which is why it only flew once. Without crew.
² The logic is clever, after all, why pump the fuel from the external tank into the shuttle to burn it, when you can simply pump it to the bottom of the fuel tank itself?
