I hath made it back from the pits of no-net-access.

Durring the time I had away from the net I had finished something like 
my 57th ascii butterfly and 25 or so asciipr0ns.  The pr0ns were really 
nice as I had started using some rather nice composistion techniqus.

And I had even written a script to post them all along with comments 
as soon as I had a network connection again.  It would have also 
updated my website at the same time so that it would be like I had 
never left.

But my laptop was stolen out of my bag while I was going crosscountry 
for 6 days via the bus.  So now I have lost all of that work and all
of the source photos that I used for insperation and modles.  

The good news is that I have found a site that appears to have all of
the butterfly photos on it along with the other information needed to
keep that searies going and as soon as I find a way to duplicate my
methods on a windows machine I will retrace my steps and once gain 
comence to dothe 20 or so butterflies that I have already asciified 
but lost.

It also apears that Tran has stoped posting here so I will need to have
the ascii art fart page emailed to me via one of my scripts.

Welcome back Faux.  Thanks Faux.

Its a hard loss to have something stolen by a thief. But on dream on
side you can have it display this     and the 15 seconds it restarts ;)

Welcome back Faux. The people were wondering, what the hell
happend to you.
I hope you don't use Windows exclusively.
A new idea for you, what about an ASCII-art && ASCII-fart
fortunes database?

It's great to see you back.

No twice a year the council comes around with a big scoopy thing and
trucks and if you leave your broken washing machines and furniture by
the road they take it away. Everyone goes out in their utes and starts
looting stuff. I met some builders who had found some sinks and a bath
tub. I also got 4 monitors, 3 scanners, 2 mice, 3 keyboards, 6 cases, 4
hard drives, 1 cd rom, 2 floppy drives, assorted motherboards, ram,
chips (486-p200) all working. People just throw it out because it's old.

I mentioned before I lift that I wouldn't have net access for 
a while because I was becomeing homeless.

Someone was nice enough to set me up with a shell account after 
I decided that was a better thing to do than to attempt to cygwin
a full nix system.  So right now all I use windows for is ssh and
those times when GUI web browsing is needed.  Maybe now I can try
out JavE.

It wouldn't be hard.  But it would be combersom on the 
user side.  There just isn't enough of a demand for that 
kind of thing.  Most people want a spacific subject done 
in ascii and can go to the ascii-art index for that.  Random
ascii is just too obscure.

:) I have heard of some communtities doing what your describing. Must be
working out fairly well for all concerned. Here we a hazardous waste day
about every 3 months for households in the communtity, everything from
cleaners, paints, oils, ect. Works fairly well.
