If you read the text on the Tux, it looks like plain Linux code,  
streamed.  It's the addition of a color image overlaying the code,  
that makes the image.  Mark the code and highlight it.  All the  
code appears.


There is no image overlaying the code.

It's all done with colors in the FONT tag.

That's the clever part.

Long night

The UPS system decided to quit for a few seconds.  Long enough to crash 
everything.
The DS6800 didn't come up.  All devices are fenced.
Sufficient to dispatch a CE.  But no CE on second shift is trained on the 
DS6800.
Now we are waiting for a first shift CE to make it in.

Well, nothing better to dotonight.

I sure hope they had a program to do this...   Where's my 1403 Snoopy
calendar...

A similar principle was used here:

For those who don't have Babelfish handy: the image on the bridge is
composed of over 4000 tiles ("Delfts Blauw") with pictures from
participants of the "Elfstedentocht" (traditional ice scating event in
The Netherlands).
