    I am sure many of is have a whiteboard for informally recording significant events for quick visual reference. For fun (mainly) but also because its really handy we add a simple little emoji style graphic to show what kind of event it is. So a bug gets a nice little picture of a bug, a piece of software with a sunset date gets a setting sun and so on. Means we can tell whats what, and waste five minutes drawing it. Yesterday I found a data issue caused not by a bug but by a glitch. A power cut had thrown some data out. We should record this but we don't know what a glitch looks like :~. We can't possibly put it on the board without a picture. Please help with your suggestions.

      :laugh: usually that's a training issue isn't it? Unless its the big boss who makes the mistake, you explain that as a glitch if you are happy in your work.

        First thing to come to mind when you say "Glitch" is The Matrix, so perhaps a pictuer of Neo's head (complete with cool sunglasses) will do the job :cool:

          A glitch is also the name for what happens when a neutron star undergoes a "starquake", changing the frequency of its rotation. Perhaps a picture of a small, vibrating ball...

              :cool: but you would have to argue that Neo himself was a glitch, I mean clearly he would count (or would he :wtf: ), but you'd have to explain that all the time. I wonder if a page with data sort of symbol with a zappy line across it might say Matrix glitch better. Especially if it was green pen we used.

                Hello, my name is Smith. Agent Smith for you.

                I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                            Like this: its clear; its dissimilar from other symbols; its easy to draw with klutzy IT fingers; and most importantly its really geeky.

                                like the hand with the zappy fingers - retains concept that glitch may be down to user activity after all
