h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Sings...*

‘I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be...'

*stops singing, and assumes a look of stunned incomprehension...*

And people wonder where the idea for ‘Mmm-bop' came from. Sheesh!

The world is good today. The weather is sunny, the temperature - if not warm - is at least bearable, and my bike is in for a service. I even cleaned it of mud and leftover bits of gravel from all the trail riding of the HDMBH, and it was gleaming red as I took it in to the bike shop. I've had my first cup of coffee for the day, which I did at a café as a bit of a self- indulgence, and I'm about to have another one before I re-load C++ 5.0 onto my machine. I've never investigated C++ nearly thoroughly enough, and I feel a sense of destiny about starting to do so now - it's just a bugger that none of the web-working tools are included with this version of the compiler (anyone know where I can get the relevant updates...?).

Mmmm, coffee; good. I still wish that romantic love was as simple as Buddy Holly made it sound. I could sure use some of that simplicity...
