41. Douglas Adams's Mac IIfx
    I started up MacWrite Pro and noticed that it was registered to douglas adams, Serious Productions Ltd . I paid little attention to this as I had seen

    Extractions: Mainly Neat Stuff Vintage Macintosh At the end of 2003, I was looking to buy a Mac IIfx for some hacking. I needed a Mac with six NuBus slots and the IIfx is the fastest model that fitted my requirements. One turned up on eBay and I was able to win the auction at a sensible price. The seller was a computer scrapper who had no knowledge or interest in the history of the system. The system was purchased "untested, as is" and the photo accompanying the auction (see opposite) indicated that it wasn't going to be in pristine condition. When delivered the case was filthy and the steel RF shielding inside had surface rust indicating that it had been stored in a damp environment for a couple of years. The side of the case (psu end) had four grubby chunks of Blu Tac attached. Obviously a previous owner had decided to stand the IIfx on its side as a tower case and used the Blu Tac to stabilise it. (If you try this at home with a IIfx, please stand the case on the other end so that the psu ventilation slots aren't blocked.) I stripped out the components, scraped off the majority of the Blu Tac and dumped the bare case in the bath tub with some detergent. As the photos show, some of the Blu Tac is still lodged around the ventilation slots and the underside of the case has a peculiar sunburn pattern. My IIfx still looks a mess but I only bought it for hacking anyway.

43. Writing Style, Douglas Adams'
    Learn how to write like the famous science fiction author.  
    http://www.galactic-guide.com/articles/6R62.html
    
    Extractions: There is a fine art to writing like the late great Douglas Adams (late not because he is dead but because he is usually tardy due to his numerous mid-morning naps, quick baths, Bovril sandwiches, mid-afternoon naps, more quick baths, and attempts to avoid deadlines and appointments). Writing like Douglas Adams is not unlike slamming your head several times against a stucco wall. You get people's attention and you have a horrid headache when it is all over. This article will attempt to assist the above-average, run-of-the-mill, common, every-day hitch-hiker in how to impress his or her peers with delusions of Adamsness, rounded with a swift slam into a stucco wall. First it is vitally necessary to have actually read some of his works . If you are an aspiring writer for Project Galactic Guide but have yet to actually read any of the following works, then kindly slam your head into a nearby stucco wall, go to your nearest bookstore or library, and look up the following titles, all of which should have "by Douglas Adams" somewhere on the cover:

Author of Life, the Universe and Everything The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency , Adams calls himself a comedy writer who uses the science fiction format. Douglas Adams talks with Don Swaim in 1983 about looking at the stars and deciding to write a galactic hitchhiker's guide, and being influenced by the writing of P. G. Wodehouse.

    Extractions: I believe it falls to me to say something about Douglas's love of science. He once asked my advice. He was contemplating going back to university to read science, I think specifically my own subject of Zoology. I advised against it. He already knew plenty of science. It rings through almost every line he wrote and through the best jokes he made. As a single example, think of the Infinite Improbability Drive. Douglas's ear for science was finely tuned. He thought like a scientist, but was much funnier. It is fair to say that he was a hero to scientists. And technologists, especially in the computer industry. His unjustified humility in the presence of scientists came out touchingly in a magnificent impromptu speech at Cambridge conference which I attended in 1998 . He was invited as a kind of honorary scientist a thing that happened to him quite often. Thank goodness somebody switched on a tape recorder, and so we have the whole of this splendid extempore

    Extractions: Prev Next About Monday, May 14, 2001 by Dave Winer. Like many, I was shocked on Saturday morning to find out that science fiction author Douglas Adams had died on Friday at age 49. Like many people of our generation I read his books and talked about them endlessly with friends, quoting them, and to some extent I've modeled my writing style after his. I had two memorable conversations with Adams, one in public and one on the telephone. He had a nice flamboyance, but he was not arrogant man, and he loved the Macintosh, and software, and was serious about it, even though he was such a funny author; and it seems unfair to us to lose him at such a young age, and of course unfair to him that his time was so short. Now I suppose it's only natural to be totally selfish about this. I'm 46, he was just three years older. On the Web I saw a bunch of other people my age draw the same conclusion "If it can happen to him, maybe it'll happen to me?" Geez, to think that I might only have three years left to live. What torture. That feeling has virtually paralyzed me since I heard of his death. What if my heart is getting ready to explode? What if that pimple is really cancer? My aunt died at 49. Joey Ramone died a few weeks ago, at 49. 49. Three years away.

    Extractions: Douglas Adams was born on 11th March 1952 in Cambridge. He was educated at Brentwood School in Essex, where his schoolmates included Griff Rhys Jones and Paul Neil Milne Johnstone. He then studied English at St John's College, Cambridge, where he joined the Footlights Society, writing (and occasionally performing) as part of a three-man comedy troupe, Adams-Smith-Adams. He left Cambridge in 1974 and spent a few "wilderness years"contributing occasional comedy sketches to shows such as Week Ending. During this time he also befriended Graham Chapman, writing several unproduced projects and making two brief cameo appearances in the final season of Monty Python's Flying Circus. His big break came in March 1978 with the broadcast of a six-part science fiction comedy for radio called The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was an immediate smash hit and was followed by a best-selling novel of the same title. Eventually, the Hitch-Hiker's canon would include a further six radio episodes, a six-part TV series, another four novels, dozens of stage productions, a set of comics, a best-selling computer game and no film. At the same time that he was writing the original Hitch-Hiker's radio series for BBC Radio, Adams was script editor for one season of Doctor Who for BBC TV. He wrote three Doctor Who stories (none of which have ever been novelised).
