    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:

        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.

        Many moons ago, we referred to an anomaly seen in an oscilloscope display as a glitch. "look at the output of that flip-flop, it's not steady, there is a glitch in it". I would suggest a lightening bolt kind of icon. Maybe with a beard. :)

        If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

          :thumbsup: I second this! You could combine this with a hand/finger like the symbol for electrostatic shock hazard warning.

              Not sure how you are collecting data but this actually sounds to me as though a bug has been exposed. If the application/system has the assumption that once a write is issued the data has been saved - this 'glitch' has exposed that as a bug within the system. It sounds like the bug that has been exposed is that a save is not saved until it has been checked. A great opportunity for a unit test!

              All very true and happily planning a minor update to make it more robust. Still a glitch at root cause though.

                    For this specific glitch... A pair of scissors cutting a power cord close to the power plug. or (1/0) -> 0 (1/0) is the universal power symbol

                      How about a wall power socket, with one socket looking burnt out? A more emoji-esque version of this. href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/1UgVd.jpg Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.

                            This is simple. Glitch: order disrupted by unexpected disorder. - Sign of order: sinus - Sign of disorder: noise Intuitive symbol for glitch could be a sine turning into noise. Quick illustration: https://i.imgur.com/OsQuZ9V.png
