NEWS: ASCII v0.1.2, SI v0.1, working on bikes

I put some of my new drawings in the collection, so enjoy! As I use the SI measure converter regularly, I have enhanced it's interface with the common function "convert". For example si:convert( 40,psi, bar) converts 40 psis into bars, or si:convert( 15,mph, kph) converts from miles per hour into kilometers per hour. si:convert(mph,kph) gives the scalar factor (1.6). Complex measures also work as usual, so you can query si:convert( {u,314,[ft,ft,lb],[s,s]}, {u,1,[n,m],[]} ). A bicycle related post or two is in the works. They're almost ready to be more exact.

NEWS: Updated graphics, refactored quotes, fixed links

I still need to get used to blogging. I have added some new creations to my ASCII art section last week. I have also done some major refactoring of the quotes - I added some more while at it. I have updated or removed a few broken links from my archive. I try to finish updating them in a month (or a few?), but progress is slow. The ones below the asterisks are left. I know how frustrating broken links can be, so I handle this with top priority.

A logo for my T-shirt?

Planning to construct a logo for a T-shirt has been on my mind for some time now. It should look neat, but be practical at the same time. What I am certain of at the moment, is that the design ought to include program source code or ASCII art of some sort. License will be GPL of course ;-> In both cases, the number of characters should be minimal. I'm thinking along the lines of a few hundred bytes or so, and about six or seven lines of code. Readability is at paramount: a well educated person if mathematics, information technology or engineering ought to understand it in a minute.
