Yesterday, I was in Veronica's chatroom
(http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/) chatting with Maija and she
posted an excellent elephant. (I'm very sorry that I didn't save it at
the time.) I dredged up my elephant parade to show her and then got
started on making more elephants:
African elephants:
_______/\-, _______/`-, _______/`-,

|\ \__| \/,= | | |____|\/,= | | |__| \/,= |
ejm |_\_\ |_|\_\ J |_|_|/_|_| J /_/_| |_|\_\ J
Indian elephants:
_______.--, _______.--, _______.--,

`- =, |__| |

ejm /_/_| |_|\_\
.-.
! :'
_______.!!,_,':
~( !{c!. ,'
| |__| ! ,=
ejm /_/_| |_|\_\
Maija thought they might make a good sig:
_______.--, ,--._______
~( {c .` name '. o} )~
| |__| ,= | e-mail (_/,=, |___| |
ejm /_/_| |_|\_\ J web site /_/|_| |_|_|
Then I thought I'd make a little watering hole scene:
# #### ####

ejm /_/_| |_|\_\ }}{
,, ```, }}{
,' ~~~ `,, {{}
; ~~ ~~~ `,, , -=-~{ .-^- _

; ** ; {
,,,,,,,//((''
I wanted to add more elephants but decided the tree got in the way:

NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you
see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build
bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce
bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Have you ever tried to get someone who's never used a mouse before to use one? They try to use it in many ways: Some try to use it as a "light pen" by "pointing" it at the screen and pressing buttons in the hope that something happens. Some use it as a pedal (go figure). Other tend to misorientate the mouse and wonder why things don't work. *Then* when they finally get it right, they still haven't learned the art of picking the mouse up from the edge they've reached with it an placing it back in the middle of the mat for further movement. They tend to move for inches of table space off of the mouse mat. And if you've got an optical mouse... :) Oops no ascii...
