Rat!   March 14, 2012 I started off wanting to have some sort of background, a computer-ish background, 0s and 1s. Then I thought hex would be good. So after a few gyrations I managed to capture a screen dump of a hex dump where I could easily filter out the background and just keep the characters. Then, the next question was what would be in the foreground. I'm kind of on an animal kick. I'm working on a beaver, but that's going to take too long. I figured a rat would be quick. And it was. But I haven't figure out exactly what it's supposed to be. A code rat? A debugging rat? Or rats that scurry around old, moldy, bug-ridden code? No wait, it's a hex rat! I don't know. Mostly quick-ish doodling. Oh, and the hex is a hex dump of the xxd (hex dump) program. Recursive? Deep? Or just lazy? I paged down till there was a place with no identifiable text in it.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
