The Matrix Has You
From the useless-but-cool department…
You can now watch your movie files in ASCII in the Terminal application of MacOS 10.2!
Here’s some shots from a certain video – each image links to a larger version:

| Space Rogues logo | Brion (Me) |

| Extra (ypawtows) and Kat (snidegrrl) |
So I don’t bore everyone: if you want to know how to do this, leave a comment and I’ll reply.

Hey hun… could you please LJ cut the pics… they are so long they are making my friends page all messed up.
Re: LJ Cut
Man, I didn’t have them up for two minutes! I was already doing the editing, these should fit better.
Much better, thank you

damn, that’s some fine loking ascii.
hehehe
… or in any UNIXish OS, right?
Well, maybe. The app to do it comes from this developer site at apple.com:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/QuickTime/Goodies/ASCIIMoviePlayerSample.htm
… so, you’d need QuickTime. The download does include the source, though. I think I heard somewhere of a program called mplayer which is supposed to do the same in Linux.
That’s just disturbing…
and I can’t quite say why… it just is.
