A while ago (a year<\/em>?!), I made this cute little bug graphic for Nemiver<\/a>, a C\/C++ debugger for GNOME.<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

Nemiver has since changed icons. More recently, Shirley<\/a> pointed out to me that my bug had been used<\/a> on a Mac site! \ud83d\ude2e (Of all things!) Heh. I only posted<\/a> the graphic on the Nemiver mailing list, so I was really curious how the author of the post on the Mac site, Tanya Palta, managed to find my graphic. I’m guessing it was a Google Images search for “dead bug”<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42 I’m actually rather flattered that my<\/em> graphic was picked for this post, but it’s worth mentioning that the license wasn’t followed – which is par for the course with the Internet. The image and it’s source was<\/a> (and remains) released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License<\/a> (It’s a mouthful, but it’s pretty simple).<\/p>\n

The bug originally started with this:<\/p>\n

\"BBQ<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember Jesse<\/a> commenting that it looked like a barbeque. Hah… so it did! \ud83d\ude42 I went through lots of different iterations:<\/p>\n

\"Dead<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Bug<\/a><\/p>\n

And ended up with the graphic at the top of this post. I also tried simplifying it and making the eyes bigger to support lower resolutions, but I didn’t really put any effort into fitting it within the Tango guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"black<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s this bug’s life story.<\/p>\n
