What's the meaning of this!!! (your user icon)

Yeah, it lost a little bit of pizazz when decreasing the file size. Went to play guitar last night instead of fixing it though 😄 I'll get a better one up when I get the chance, but for now, people will just have to deal with the 'ugh' version 🙂

I actually like the colors and limited shades. They are pretty unique. Looks more like a painting. 🙂

I'm glad you like it 😉 I have to admit, it has been growing on me. I think I'll either leave it as is, or change it to just black and white for a 'cleaner' look to it.

I agree completely!

I guess a few people may recognise me :-S

During my time at University I wrote a couple of parody short stories of Discworld by Terry Pratchett, set on Ed World. Ed World is made of the things that amuse me and things I think are awesome. I shall paraphrase from memory:

Ed World - A planetary sized cheesecake resting on the heads of 4 gargantuan penguins, Fred, Pete, Jeff and Bob. All of whom stand knee deep in an astronomical sized bowl of egg fried rice. Orbiting Ed World are The Fork of Reckoning, The Spoon of Redemption, The Knife of Division and two chopsticks; Number One and Number Three. Number Two got lost in transit and had to be replaced at the last minute by a chopstick found on the roadside outside a Little Chef along the A1. The Spoon of Redemption got bent when Barney sat on it, he was very sorry at the time but we all decided it was for the best. One time at a photoshoot, Jeff was ill and had to be replaced by Tim the Badger.

I see this thread has been quiet for nearly a year, but thought I'd contribute anyway:

You wouldn't believe how many times I get asked "How can I check if my boolean is True?", so I created my icon as a tribute to those that need such a function.

To keep the universe in balance, I assume you also have a sister function that checks if a boolean is FALSE, right? 🙂

(certainly cleaner than the classic way to do all this. 😮 :D)

Wait, do people actually ask you that?

"If a boolean goes true in the forest, but there is no indicator, does it make a noise?"

[Thoric]

Yep! Hard to believe isn't it!?

Usually in the context of wanting to trigger a boolean case statement, where the obvious answer is to wire it directly, they first try to figure out how to interpret the data to provide a useful true false result!
