Uber Geeky

by Justin 26. June 2008 00:20

I'm a professional computer programmer with a degree in Computer Science. Needless to say, I've seen some pretty geeky things done by some pretty geeky people, but nothing tops what a co-worker showed me the other day.

If you telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl then you'll see an entire scene-by-scene recreation of the first (er, fourth) Star Wars movie done in ASCII!

  1. In Windows go to Start > Run..., or hold down the windows key and press R. 
  2. Type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl", without the quotes.
  3. Marvel.

About the author

Justin HoltonHi, my  name is Justin. I cut my teeth learning HTML back when Netscape Navigator was still the most popular web browser. Later that inspired me to major in Computer Science at college. Today I'm a professional web developer with experience in everything from social networking application design to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I believe the Internet is the most important achievement of man since the printing press, and I'm grateful that I was born in time to see it go from obscurity to a ubiquity.
