ASCII Stuff
What is a demoscener? It's amazing how people (already in a small,
geeky group of ASCII artists) will try to narrow it down even more
into smaller and geekier groups. This was a friendly group, reading it
now it sounds like a stuck up bunch of ASCII snobs. Surely there are
some of you from the old bunch still around. Or did you get tired of
it and bail too?
It's been awhile since I made anything new but I do visit the group
now and then. I still keep my pages up and I edit the ASCII art
category at Dmoz. If you submit it I will (eventually) list it.
Laura, Proud to be an ordinary geeky ASCII artist.

Please don't bottom post, it's so fricking annoying. If I want to read
the old stuff I can scroll down for it. Why do you think blogs are set
up to have the newest post first, not last.
