Re: Junk mail
I had only subscribed to the list a couple of days ago, good thing Im old school when it comes to the internet, would be really off putting to a newbie. I had assumed this was a virus attack, you mean this bloke actually does this for fun?

Re: Junk mail
The geezer's a prize numpty! I just got hit with 30-odd Onspeed Software Recommendation emails and a whopping 8.29 MB email - the contents of which is anyone's guess! Although I imagine it's dozens of screen captures, as that seems a favourite of his. Suffice to say I didn't bother opening any of them - select-all/delete... Job done!

Re: Junk mail
He did the skull animation that Aleš posted about just recently, didn't he? Which is a tape file of a 25 fps animation that a suitably accelerated emulator — such as ASCD — can play as a video.

RE: SAM HAM viewer
I thought about doing something like this a while back, but as ever didn't get chance to play with the idea. For me, the trick would have been to say screw it and randomly/genetically generate the code required to change the palette. On modern CPUs it shouldn't take more than a few hours to generate/simulate even if you're brute forcing it. Now, of course, once you get to dithering the image and optimizing that, you're starting to explode the solution space but it's not exactly insurmountable. (I've got a 2 year old daughter and enough work to sink a battleship these days, so unfortunately as much as I hate to say it, I think my SAM programming days are done :'( ).
