No, I made it in emacs with normal-sized text.  =]

No, I made the picture after the sig was finished by changing the font
in an xterm window to "Tiny" and writing "more filename". Then I used
xv's "grab" function to make a "snapshot" of it...

How I made the picture? I used a program called "banner" to make the big
text and then I "copy-and-paste'd" the big nude to the left of it. But
there was too much space left so I copied in my name, email address and
URL from the other, smaller sig. After that there was *still* too much
room left so I copied in the waterfall picture. Then I made a border
around the whole thing and added lines above and below the Figlets, then
I added a vertical line "under" the big "Veronica". I think it must have
been about here that I first looked at it in the "Tiny" font. I was
bored so I kept adding lines and then when I looked at it in the small
font I saw that it looked like a cross. Since I was still _very_ bored I
spent the rest of that night (I think it was night) "filling in the blue
parts" and turning the background into a Swedish flag... Yes, the hard
way! (as you can probably see if you look very closely at the pattern
and find all the misses I must have made).
