Yay! My first ever post in my brand new blog and I don’t even know what to say! Anyway, haven’t you notice how first posts always have the “Hello world!” title? Isn’t it time to change that? It is so out, so old, so web 1.0! Why don’t they use “Hello Universe!”, or “Howdy Aliens!”, anything but this!
As the ever curious george that I am, I started researching where it all started and why “Hello World!” is widely used and here is what I found out:
According to Wikipedia:
A “hello world” program is a computer program that prints out “Hello, World!” on a display device. It is used in many introductory tutorials for teaching a programming language. Such a program is typically one of the simplest programs possible in a computer language. Some are surprisingly complex, especially in some graphical user interface (GUI) contexts, but most are very simple, especially those which rely heavily on a particular command line interpreter (“shell”) to perform the actual output. In many embedded systems, the text may be sent to a one or two-line liquid crystal display (LCD), or some other appropriate signal, such as an LED being turned on, may substitute for the message.
yada yada yada.. Zzzzzzz

After researching for 2 minutes, I finally lost interest. So that’s everything and its downright boring. Nothing for me to get addicted here… Gotta find me some new topics to talk about soon or I’ll die of boredom. Want to lend me a hand?
