- Attended dConstruct web conference in Brighton, UK, and spent time with friends.
- Visited the Royal Pavilion, a British folly inspired by Indian architecture.
- Noticed an Egyptian exhibit titled 'The Egyptians' with accurate hieroglyph translation.
- Realized a friend could read ancient hieroglyphs, sparking an idea for a t-shirt.
- Proposed a 'Hello World' t-shirt in hieroglyphs, despite the lack of an 'L' glyph.
- Collaborated with Egyptologists to translate 'Hello World' into 'Welcome, the entire land'.
- Designed and printed the hieroglyphic phrase on a t-shirt as a unique geeky project.
- Shared the design publicly, encouraging others to use it freely.
