Just Writing Something

I just felt like writing something.

Over the past few days, I’ve made several subtle updates to the blog, such as adjusting the CSS font fallback order for multilingual scenarios and adding some SEO metadata.
Another update was configuring a logo that I personally think looks decent:

The logo was generated by ChatGPT, which explained its meaning as follows:

1. Cloud Graphic (Top)

• Meaning: Symbolizes “meteorology” or “cloud computing”.
• Relevance: You’ve long worked with weather-related data processing (e.g., GRIB files, forecast products).
• Style: Slightly hand-drawn feel, representing a gentle connection between engineering and the natural world.

2. Streamlined Pattern (Middle)

• Meaning: Can be interpreted as contour lines, elevation lines, ocean waves, or data flow.
• Relevance:
  • Contour lines: Reflect your close work with geography, maps, administrative divisions, and time zones.
  • Data flow: You’ve built high-throughput distributed data pipelines; Kafka, Redis, and gRPC are part of your daily toolkit.

3. Network Node Diagram (Bottom Right)

• Meaning: Commonly seen in graph databases, distributed systems, and ML-related graph structures.
• Relevance:
  • Symbolizes your preference for structural optimization and data modeling—e.g., tree structures for administrative zones, RTree for spatial indexing.
  • Also represents your constant effort to build connections (e.g., linking APIs, prediction models, and user interfaces), rather than working on isolated tasks.

Overall Composition & Color:

• Composition: From “sky” (clouds), to “land” (contour lines), to “data” (node diagram)—reflects your knowledge structure: grounded in the physical world, realized through data structures and engineering.
• Pink Background: Matches your preference for light pink backgrounds on web pages, showing a restrained yet distinctive aesthetic.¹
