Hello, and welcome to my personal space. Here, meet my towel.

I'm beginning to feel okay with the amount of content here, but it is still gradually building.

I still miss the concept of the idea, of considering the inkling of the thought, that there may yet be one more complete Hitchhikers or Dirk Gently story about to be born. And, if rumours prove true, there may be someone in the wings about to take on the mantle.

But, if nothing else ever comes from the life and life's work of DNA, it is enough for me to know that the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is finally and well sorted out; and, of course, that his legacy has left us with this very splendid and worthwhile earthbound edition of the Guide.

No one was more surprised than I when the answer turned out to be the simple, yet elegant, 42 (Binary 101010). It took me months of mental hypergymnastics to sort out just what the question actually was; largely because my brain is only the size of a small moon and not, like Marvin's, that of an entire planet.
