<<"JPEG" stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the name of the committee that created the JPEG standard and also other still picture coding standards. The "Joint" stood for ISO TC97 WG8 and CCITT SGVIII. In 1987 ISO TC 97 became ISO/IEC JTC1 and in 1992 CCITT became ITU-T. Currently on the JTC1 side JPEG is one of two sub-groups of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 29, Working Group 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1) – titled as Coding of still pictures.[4][5][6] On the ITU-T side ITU-T SG16 is the respective body. The original JPEG group was organized in 1986,[7]issuing the first JPEG standard in 1992, which was approved in September 1992 as ITU-T Recommendation T.81[8] and in 1994 as ISO/IEC 10918-1.>>
I have every reason to believe either that this was etched into an obelisk by an alien visitor or else that I need to be replaced by some vacuum tubes!
Hope you feel better ... I need a nap.
