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]

Nov 13	answered	Get number of combinations without “forbidden patterns”
Nov 12	comment	Reduce distances between vertices of graph to minimum possible? OK, thanks all. I'll start again, with a map this time. (Do you want to close as "can't be reasonably answered?" or leave it as indicating a currently unavailable feature?)
Nov 12	comment	Reduce distances between vertices of graph to minimum possible? @rm-rf lol, they're all hilariously awful with my settings - except for SpringElectricalEmbedding, which was the only one with the correct orientation (California is on the left, isn't it?)
Nov 12	awarded	Nice Question
Nov 12	comment	Reduce distances between vertices of graph to minimum possible? @SjoerdC.deVries Indeed, whether a default location option is possible or not - I don't really know how it would work... I think there are a few graph questions asking for more control of how the graph is drawn.
Nov 12	comment	Reduce distances between vertices of graph to minimum possible? @rm-rf yes, I'd seen that excellent answer, and it would do the job, but I was wondering whether, inside all the graph documentation, I had missed such an option - alongside all that "SpringElectical" stuff.
Nov 12	comment	Reduce distances between vertices of graph to minimum possible? ignore the `VertexLabels` error...
Nov 12	revised	Reduce distances between vertices of graph to minimum possible? less incorrect image uploaded

Nov 9	comment	Keep palette visible when Mathematica application loses focus @murray I'm sorry for misleading you - I was tyring to show how to drag things into Mathematica so that the palettes were visible. In fact, I don't have any palettes that accept drag-and-drop items, to my knowledge, and I know nothing about how to edit them...
Nov 9	revised	How to effectively diff a notebook? explained colour scheme
Nov 9	revised	Keep palette visible when Mathematica application loses focus typo

Nov 9	comment	Constructing election cartograms? While these are cool, they do need to have labels, otherwise they're more like Geography quizzes than useful purveyors of information... And estimating areas this way is really hard - rectangular ones would be more effective.

Nov 8	comment	Gradient/ColorFunction in Disk with transparent background Cool. So, are you porting Mathematica to the iPhone‽ :)
Nov 8	revised	exporting eps figures maintaining the same size couldn't resist the magnificence
Nov 8	comment	How can I set an image size fully depending upon ImageSize? @IstvánZachar No problem - I prefer answers to comments anyway :)
Nov 8	comment	Gradient/ColorFunction in Disk with transparent background @chris :) and the highlight round the edge, and the black rim, and the shiny reflection, and the text shadow, and many other things besides...! I went to bed instead.
