  3. With all these Google stories... by cascino · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With all these Google stories in the past couple of months, isn't it about time we had a "Google" topic category? (yeah, it's OT, deal with it)
    I dunno, seems to make sense to me. (heck, we have a Mac OS 9 category that's had what... three stories?)
    I even made the icons:

    It might be a bit small, but you get the idea :)

  4. Don't miss TxtImg if you're into Ascii Art by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    TxtImg directly converts JPG and GIF images into text images. It doesn't use intensities -- it actually correlates the font image with the original image.

    Everyone should have a look at bb, a demo for the aa library. It's quite impressive! It is several minutes long, and features incredible things such as mandelbrot fractals! It also shows several of the aa lib features, such as anti-aliasing, random snow-like noise, dithering, etc.

    Chances are it's installed on your distro (if you use a majort one). Just type "bb". It has several modes, including the X (as in XC Window) mode. It even has sound!

    First time I discovered it we were a dozen in the lab, staring in amazement at the screen and calling colleagues over to see it :)
