Three Years On

Incidentally, how many headers do you have on here? I feel like I might find myself endlessly F5'ing it just to be able to see all of them...

Pronunciation, I go for "a-us-ep-see". In hindsight going for something that was a little more like a real word might have been better, but I think that die is rather cast now!

There are 25 header images at the moment, F5ing might occasionally get you a few duplicates, but that's because it's random each time, not shuffled like a music playlist. I'm planning to add more, but that means I have to remember to take pictures of things!

Also hoping to improve the colour picking algorithm, and a few other things, but that requires me to have some time to devote to it...

I like the nifty theme thang.

As for aiusepsi, there are pros and cons to be virtually unique in the virtual world; see also: flitterbee/ficklety. Also, how on earth would one go about pronouncing the random collection of letters? I have enough trouble remembering how to spell it...

I was going to comment and say I like the purple but then it changed before my very eyes. I'm not sure my brain can cope with this witchcraft...

What does aiusepsi mean?

There's a script which picks the average colour of the header image, and then colours the background to match. Then everything pretty much bleeds through from there, every other bit is very slightly transparent so the base colour shows through. I think it's nifty.

aiusepsi doesn't really mean anything. It came about because I wanted something to call myself online, so I ended up picking the Greek letter Epsilon. That got shortened to Epsi, then when I signed up for some account or other Epsi was taken, so I went for AliusEpsi, "alius" meaning "other" in Latin.

Then a typo in signing up for another account changed it to AiusEpsi, which I found I actually preferred, then eventually the capitalisation went away and just became "aiusepsi" which isn't really a word and so has the great property of being globally unique; Google for it and you find various fragments of my online presence.
