Sure.

> Could you please do one for my name...  BILL

I didn't realise how hard an ambigram was to make until I thought
about doing another one.  Apparently Piller is much easier than most
words.

Someone on my LJ pointed me to this site: http://nagfa.blogspot.com/
Which has all kinds of new ambigrams.  Maybe someone there will be
able to come up with someting, though I doubt it will be in ascii.

You should have signed that.

Hello Bill,

concerning (1) - I second that!

concerning (2) - I came up with something with pencil
and paper. Looks not so bad. I will try to transform it
into ASCII.

Some weeks ago I received a beautiful ambigram with
my name as a jpg-file. I was so happy about it that I like to
try myself for someone else :-)

Well, at least I tried :-)

crude attempt:

--.

   |       .
   | .-.   .       '|
   |   |   |    |   |
   |   |   |    |   |
   |,      .    `-' |
                    |
                    |
                    `--

(tried to use the "i" as the rotation point)

I also made an almost ambigram for the title of my Tyrian forum:
