Since I don’t live in India, I’m not allowed to enter the competition to design an official symbol for the Indian Rupee announced last month.

I have however come up with a very simple design:
(horribly created in Paint.NET)

I’m posting this now so I can see how it compares with whatever is chosen when the competition closes at the middle of next month.

This design is easily written by hand, cannot have some mistaken extra meaning when viewed upside-down, and is narrow enough that it could fit in the space for a zero.
It is also obviously inspired by the letter R.

I’d also be happy to hear your opinions, positive or otherwise.
Does it remind you of anything else, does it have meaning in some Arabic script?

…is not what you think.

I had to kill Firefox earlier today after noticing that it was using around 750MB of memory!

It hung when I tried to close it normally, but perhaps I was just impatient.

This time I’m going to give it the benefit of doubt and blame some crappy Flash advert or something.

Prior to the big move, I’m leaving my current job at Bitopia at the end of the week.

Last Friday, all the staff went to watch Saints beat  Castleford Tigers.
At the end of the evening I was surprised and honoured to be presented with a personalised and autographed Saints shirt by Paul Sculthorpe.

I’d like to thank Christian for arranging it all for me, and Steve, MD of Bitopia, for paying for the evening!

iammoving.com was recommended to me by the estate agent who advertised the house we’re moving to in August.

After registering, for free (though I would pay for the service), you select the organisations you need to notify from a large, categorised list, and provide your account number (or whatever detail is appropriate).

You can then send each message individually, or send them all at once.

Unfortunately, some companies still require that age-old ink on paper malarkey. In these cases, a preformatted letter is made available to print.

iammoving.com is ‘in association with Royal Mail’, which makes sense because it could save them from thousands of undeliverable/redirected letters.
