Some of you will be wondering what the site logo stands for. It is a bit cryptic and geeky looking, isnt't it. Well... it is supposed to be :-)

The logo is what is more commonly know as the Hacker Emblem. It was/is a logo first proposed by Eric S. Raymond. You can read the Hacker Emblem FAQ to know more about this logo.

This pattern called the Glider Pattern is a pattern from a mathematical simulation called the Game of Life.

I subscribe and aspire to be a hacker as defined by ESR. It looks cool and geeky at the same time. So it proved to be the inevitable choice for my site logo.

Right now it does not blend in with the site colours. I will work on it in when I get the time. I am not too much of a graphics artist so don't expect it to happen in the near future :-)
