Getting inked!
November 7th, 2008 Denham CooteAmongst a number of other uncharacteristic decisions I’ve recently made, I went off and got myself a tattoo yesterday.

Some (geeks) may recognise it right away. For those of you that don’t, other than it being a cool design (I think so, anyway), there’s a bunch of meaning to it.
The symbol is that of Ubuntu Linux. From their website:
Ubuntu is an African word meaning ‘Humanity to others’, or ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
It’s about community, caring, sharing, acceptance, diversity, and the ideologies that the culture embraces.
In addition to that, I’ve gone up 10 points in a) geekiness b) coolness or c) both! Hehe.
The photo doesn’t quite show it off properly yet, since the light grey areas are still a little dark (and look black). Look here to understand it better.
A big thanks to Kay from Skin Deep Tattoos who left his mark on my virgin skin.
