Bio

Hi. My name is some bloke who tried to think of a short, catchy, pithy name and spent five sleepless nights trying but couldn't think of one, Patron Saint of Brevity and Keeper of Drunks, Fools and Ships named Enterprise. I am also a priest in the Church of Weekendism, Thingite Poet of Doom!!! and fluffy bunnies, Wizard of All Things Technological... except turning on the toaster and a member of the Ministry of Sitting on Our Backsides and Doing Sod-All and have recently created the H2G2 Linux Users' Group

My name isn't entirely true. It wasn't five nights.

Observation

I recently noticed that on a telephone, using the numbers with letters on and numbers themselves, H2G2 translates to 4242. Appropriate, isn't it?

Oh. And you can get from my user number to 42 by: -9-1-9+61=42
