Wonders of .ogg


I would like to send a thank you to all those brave humans who spent their time and effort into bringing the .ogg file into existence. I owe a great deal to .ogg files, and they remain my first choice for sound files for my programs.

I would like to share the explanation behind the mysterious logo:

The 'Thor-and-the-Snake' logo is drawn somewhat from Norse mythology; the real symbolism is the sine-curve shape of the snake. Thor is hefting Mjollnir about to compress the periodic signal Jörmungandr... See, it all makes sense.
