Mathematica apprentice

My gravatar is an eternal golden braid, made with the following Mathematica code:

Graphics3D[{
  GrayLevel[.3], Specularity[White, 15],
  Lighting -> {{"Directional", 
     RGBColor[1, .5, .4], {{5, 5, 10}, {5, 5, 0}}},
    {"Point", Yellow, {12, 3, 15}},  
    {"Point", White, {12, 3, 4}}},
  KnotData[{"TorusKnot", {2, 5}}, "ImageData"]}, 
 ViewVector -> {{0, 0, 5}, {0, 0, 0}}, Boxed -> False, 
 Background -> None, Axes -> False, ImageSize -> 1000]

57m	comment	Embed Code Into Image Seems to work well - could be useful!
4h	comment	Embed Code Into Image @Liam In the linked article, Jon managed to store 70K ASCII characters in a 450x450 image, and he's stealing space rather than adding it, so the image is the same size, although slightly degraded. You could squeeze more text in if it was compressed.
4h	comment	Is it possible to Import urls not type “” @HyperGroups No, this is a non-Mathematica solution that works in any application - and just happens to work in Mathematica too.
13h	comment	Embed Code Into Image Any use?
15h	answered	Is it possible to Import urls not type “”
18h	revised	Having used Mathematica as a “gateway” language, where to from here? felt guilty about the short answer... ;)
20h	comment	Forecast Future Stock Prices - Brownian Motion - Again You also have to be careful of copying pasting bits of code from notebooks like this. Although it looks like a series of slides, there may well be definitions in previous slides that have to be evaluated in order. Also, there may be initialization cells that have to be evaluated at the outset (and you can't always see them). Plus all the Unicode translation problems... Caveat copier!

1d	answered	Plot 3D set (or a domain of three-variable function)
1d	comment	Setting OperatorSubstitution to False has issues with PDF and EPS exports. Are these bugs? Well, I've seen many Windows and Linux font problems mentioned here, too, but perhaps the Mac users whine more... :)
2d	awarded	Strunk & White
2d	revised	How to relate memory usage with occupied positions of SparseArrays? spelling
2d	comment	How can I detect an ellipse in a photo? Code is great, and descriptions we can learn from even greater!
2d	comment	*Telling mathematica to output instead of space for multiplication, so I can copy as plain text** or `a b // InputForm` ?
2d	comment	Setting OperatorSubstitution to False has issues with PDF and EPS exports. Are these bugs? There are some similar problems that appear to be Mac-only...
2d	answered	How can I detect an ellipse in a photo?
2d	comment	Filtering the elements of an array to split them into two categories @rcollyer True enough (and where's Misery to complain about the documentation when we need him...?). But I know that some basic familiarity with Mathematica syntax is usually expected here, so I thought I'd hint as much...
