Tux as you've never seen him before
Cross-posted to the IBMVM and Linux390 lists... Even though it's not quite the same (this one is apparently done with new age photo manipulation) it brings back memories of pictures printed by print-chain printers of olde using simple characters or character overlays. Still, BRAVO! Nice job by an unknown artist.

I ran across this one a while back when I was using StumbleUpon for Firefox. Very nice and yes, it would make a great poster!

I still have a copy. I wonder how well it went thru Y2K? 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. 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.

It's all done with colors in the FONT tag. That's the clever part. Adam
