Pictures, Charts, and Icons.

Let’s change from the very serious topics to a very relaxed one.

If you follow my posts, you may see that in these past several years, I put fewer and fewer jpg pictures in my blogs, both gfxtm and possibe.

The reason is the result of the pictures per space. Compared to other formats like svg, as I try to simplify the pictures to the level of concept only, jpg is not a reasonable option anymore.

Then came the charts. For possibe, I use mermaid a lot. However, I use ASCII art instead in this blog.

Why?

The mermaid graphs/charts use javascript. They look great, but take a lot more compute.

For Possibe, I think that is reasonable; however, in this blog, I feel ASCII is a better representation. The jpg format must be avoided at all costs due to readability issues and the need to resize it to fit.

The icons: if you have read my posts since last month, you should have seen the icon for about me as >_. That suits the blog’s coding and Linux identity. But when I wanted to expand that to be broader, I changed that icon to a conversation bubble.

The certification page: I put all of my certifications into Google Drive and let you see them via links. Some that I think define me better, I put into the page Certification.

I hope you enjoy my extended topics, as I may put some unrelated to Linux here. Some may be in Thai, Japanese, or Chinese.

To my readers, have a good time and enjoy reading.
