Hello, world!

When learning a new computer programming language, the traditional first program one writes is a very simple program that simply displays "Hello, world!" to the standard output device of the target computer system. The above very simple program is written in C, for those of you not so familiar.

As of now, I'm making this blog public, for the whole world to see. Might as well. Who knows what new friends are lurking out there. Now, of course, that means that I will restrict certain personal details from the blog, but that's okay. There's plenty to talk about without giving out the personal stuff.

For the family, I will likely be providing a separate, private blog to cover personal, family news that is of less interest to the outside world or that need to have a limted distribution.
