- gherikill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does not work
- mcflynnthm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I will now be watching the World Cup exclusively in ASCII. HD? Pfah.
- StarWarsFan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is almost as cool as Star Wars in ASCII ( http://www.asciimation.co.nz/ )
- itsallgeektome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ahh.. that really takes me back to the old BBS days. Awesome.
- Sparklehorse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a classic example of "because you can".
Why on earth would you watch this? Because you can. - dvgraphics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I tried this the other day- it actually works (depneding on your definition of "works"). I found that white text on a black background made it a little easier to see.
- Ilyanep, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha this is cool.
So does it take a video feed and ASCII-ize it? - ZaNkY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dupe
But anyways, still great. You have to view it from a distance. Full screen console is best. Start it up, and slowly back away from your monitor. I find that 10 feet away is a good distance. Trust me it's pretty good for just ASCII :D
@HaroldX
try standing farther away from your screenshot, you might see it then, but the screenshot wasn't taken at a good time. Try it again, but live :)
And for those wondering, yes the feed is live, and in some cases a couple seconds a head of the TV feed.
Good Stuff :) - affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why is this taken of the frontpage
- ahmerhussain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't tell what is going on.
Cool idea though.
Do they offer SSH? (sarcasm) - kurosen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is just genious! can anyone confirm if this feed is "live" or pre-recorded?
- judofyr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Crap! Doesn't work :(
- ctchan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is just too cool when it works.
- curlyman500, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Sweet! I can't find it but there is a really good version of The Incurables some place
- richsipe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cool. Just wish a game was going on so I could see more than just the field.
- ahmerhussain, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Awsome Ubuntu setup!
- ifonly, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Where are the images? All I see is bits of grey text :/
No Digg.
