Holes Infinity (HI OS)

Saturday, January 12th, 2013

An operating system for inter-universe flight in year 1000001. Simple inter-galactic space flight was already achieved in deep past. Its operating system name was lost.

Disclaimer: Due to so distant future no connection with existing current operating systems is assumed.

Drink Sensibly Before The End Of The World!

Friday, December 21st, 2012

As there was no shape for a pint in Visio I resorted to a message box for the occasion.

MM=DD=YY

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

To celebrate the last unique occurrence of 12.12.12 in this Century I created a Computical Art (Computicart) picture that uses minimalist software trace analysis diagrams I use for trace and log analysis patterns made even better for Accelerated Windows Software Trace Analysis course. The following diagram symbolizes several patterns. Suppose we trace personal or world events each year and form an Adjoint Thread with messages having DD=MM=YY timestamp invariant (or filter them). Then we clearly see a Discontinuity before the next Century with much bigger Time Delta than between such messages. Also these messages form a Periodic Message Block in relation to the full trace.

A Bug Catcher

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

As always, if I’m asked to do something, I don’t stop there and apply all my accumulated knowledge to go beyond. Here is an example: after designing 2CARE2 trademark I imagined an organic creature that catches bugs:

If you compare it with a trademark you would recognize A, R and E as Phenyl, Methyl, and Ethyl groups.

What is to be done?

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

I showed this artwork to many people and they responded that they didn’t understand or hope one day they would understand. Only one guy (a professional manager) responded positively with understanding. What I think is that real art can be interpreted in many ways. So I kindly await your criticism.

PS. This Computicart (Computical Art) work was inspired by a pet parrot at home. I’ve been observing its behaviour for more than 6 months and tried to discern a few patterns. Its name is KiKi (not related to Ki* functions).

Cloud Traces

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

I was inspired today for a new comic art movement called Computicart (Computical Art). The first composition is called Cloud Traces (remember that memory dumps are just bigger software traces and software traces are just smaller memory dumps):
