Why Hello World and 42

For anyone wondering why my first blog post was titled Hello World and contained the text of 42, it was to pay homage to two classics.

Hello World (thanks to Wikipedia) is a traditional phrase used when learning computer programming.  And so seemed appropriate for my first Blog title.

42 is (again thanks to Wikipedia) as anyone who has read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams would know, the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
