Just in case you were wondering, this symbol you see littered around my personal pages is my "graphic signature". I invented it years ago during a moment's doodling distraction from long-ago program designing session, whilst working on some back-office ledger or other. It represents my name "raj", although you my not see the correspondence. For some reason I find geometric shapes and raster patterns fascinating, and my name suddenly leapt out at me from a 4x4 grid.
It originally took the form:
********** ** ********** ** ** ** ** ****** ** ** ****** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ************** **************but it rapidly changed to the current arrangement, simply because I scribbled it wrongly shortly after, and preferred the result, eventually refining it into what you see now.
