About.

One day I perused to figure out if Pi (π) or Tau (τ) were the constant number relating the circumference of a circle to its linear dimension. Indeed, both are the most important numbers in mathematics, the interesting thing is that while searching, I found a delightful web page [1], which returns a sequence of numbers that I typed in randomness appear the first time at which position in the sequence π.

I remember as a child, I was taught that π is a special number — it is infinite and non-cyclical. Growing up, when I was exposed to programming, I learned that everything in the universe can be represented in numbers [2] (how wonderful!).

The greatest virtue of man is perhaps curiosity

Everything started here.

That curiosity prompted me to ask the question: "If I were represented in those numbers, what would I be?" For simplicity I choose my date of birth as a test, "me" first appears in position 51,130,668 and in the first 200M digits of π "me" also appears only twice. iktp — this site name — is the textual representation of the number "me" in the series.

iktp appears as a form of my being on the Internet, you can follow here my journey of working on personal projects and finding the interesting knowledge I have gained while wandering on the Internet. And the productivity tools I built to help myself (and hopefully you too).
