ASCII Art Forever !

James Dickens just posted a funny "vi" upgrade picture and I remembered that many years ago I came across a Star Wars Episode IV in ASCII. Yes, the movie in ASCII Art ! You were to telnet to some host and it was then played on your terminal. So I google for it "ASCII Star Wars" and it immediately showed me a modern (aka Java, aka Web-friendly) version of this masterpiece.
So, here it comes - http://www.asciimation.co.nz/

Rainy evening at Murphy's

It was rainy yesterday evening, but it didn't stop us - John Plocher, Leon Koll and myself - from getting together at Murphy's pub in Herzelia marina. Place was quite crowded - people were gathering there to watch the basketball game later that evening on the big screens around the pub. So we had to wait some time while the staff were figuring out where to sit us. The good thing is that we've got the first round of beer on house for standing patiently :) Too bad Leon showed up a little later and missed that.

Anyway, if you ask me - pub is one of the best places to have good technical talk :)
