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 http://www.vintagemacworld.com/iifx.html

Mainly Neat Stuff Vintage Macintosh Douglas Adams's Mac IIfx 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.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful [the Babel fish] could have evolved by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non -existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED"

Edge Search DOUGLAS ADAMS (1952 - 2001) "The Digital Planet": Douglas Adams at the Muffathalle in Munich, November, 1998 New Richard Dawkins: Eulogy for Douglas Adams, Church of Saint Martin in the Fields, London, 17th September 2001 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

So long, and thanks for all... "I feel that the agenda of life's important issues has moved from novelists to science writers, because they know more." -Douglas Adams, The Onion AV Club "Moving something from one medium to another is very interesting it's a lot like carrying a picture or a piece of clothing from one bit of lighting to another. Suddenly it looks very different. What interests me a bit further down the line is the way in which the different media interrelate you can hand things off from one to another, you can exploit each other's strengths and weaknesses." -Douglas Adams, Salon.com: starship trouper [Note: If you've connected to this page from outside of this site , then you might want to at least take congnizance of the information on this page when reading the stuff here.]

The Meaning of Liff By Douglas Adams and John Lloyd In Life*, there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist. On the other hand, the world is littererd with thousands of spare words which spend their time doing nothing but loafing about on signposts pointing at places. Our job, as wee see it, is to get these words dow off the signposts and into the mouths of babes and sucklings and so on, where they can start earning their keep in everyday conversation and make a more positive contribution to society. Douglas Adams John Lloyd *And, indeed, in Liff. A B C D ... Z AASLEAGH (n.) A liqueur made only for drinking at the end of a revoltingly long bottle party when all the drinkable drink has been drunk.

Prev Next About Death and Douglas Adams Monday, May 14, 2001 by Dave Winer. Shock 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. Taking it in 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.

Douglas Noel Adams (1952-2001) 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).
