Actually, now that I google it, seems it's a skillet on 'legs' - never new that.

Yes, one of those things that weirdly gets called a "spider" is a skillet on four legs.
I guess it's a bit closer to the real thing than a billiard table "spider" (which has two legs) but I still think that people should learn to count before they misname things!

I am sure many of is have a whiteboard for informally recording significant events for quick visual reference. For fun (mainly) but also because its really handy we add a simple little emoji style graphic to show what kind of event it is. So a bug gets a nice little picture of a bug, a piece of software with a sunset date gets a setting sun and so on. Means we can tell whats what, and waste five minutes drawing it.
Yesterday I found a data issue caused not by a bug but by a glitch. A power cut had thrown some data out. We should record this but we don't know what a glitch looks like . We can't possibly put it on the board without a picture. Please help with your suggestions.

usually that's a training issue isn't it? Unless its the big boss who makes the mistake, you explain that as a glitch if you are happy in your work.

does not answer brief but was not aware of this phenomena so thank-you

First thing to come to mind when you say "Glitch" is The Matrix, so perhaps a pictuer of Neo's head (complete with cool sunglasses) will do the job
|
|
|
|
|
but you would have to argue that Neo himself was a glitch, I mean clearly he would count (or would he ), but you'd have to explain that all the time. I wonder if a page with data sort of symbol with a zappy line across it might say Matrix glitch better. Especially if it was green pen we used.

Hello, my name is Smith. Agent Smith for you.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

|
Nah, the black cat was the glitch. So a drawing of a cat.
|
|
|
|
|
Good point, and an easy thing to draw

A glitch is also the name for what happens when a neutron star undergoes a "starquake", changing the frequency of its rotation. Perhaps a picture of a small, vibrating ball...

Like this: its clear; its dissimilar from other symbols; its easy to draw with klutzy IT fingers; and most importantly its really geeky.

And where are the two death rays it emits at the poles?

The vibrations refer to the starquake, not the rotation.

I also don't show the electro-magnetic field, the gravitational field, and the Cheela living on the neutron star. This is a suggestion for a glyph, not a peer-reviewed article on Relativistic Physics!

Daniel Pfeffer wrote: not a peer-reviewed article on Relativistic Physics! Too bad. Should you still write the article, perhaps you should also mention the Hirogen[^] who love to stroll on the surface.
Quote: ...The Hirogen body armor had internal life support, with a breathing apparatus over the mouth and nose, and it can protect a Hirogen hunter while seeking prey in most hostile environments, including the surface of a collapsed star. Good that they have life support when gravity crushes the protons into the neutrons.

like the hand with the zappy fingers - retains concept that glitch may be down to user activity after all
