  I have put the current page on an "about.html" page made a new
  top page. but the short statement will probably need some
  reflexion, will have to wait until I (or someone else) is
  inspired.

  Done on the top page.

  I found it on the web, I am not sure it is legal to use it.
  It is probably good to try to reconstruct a similar picture
  from scratch, but it is beyond my competence.

  Eric Raymond was in town last week and I want to his talk. He
  applauded the idea of the pinguin for linux and said that
  the community needed symbols like that. So I was thinking
  about a fitting animal for up. I first thought of the owl,
  and spend several hours looking for a good picture of an
  owl. Then the idea of the spider occured to me. It is an animal
  that is less likely to be adopted by anyone else, but has
  a web weaving connotation that is quite fitting. We can also
  portray spider and web in different situations.
