Fun with ASCII
Every so often I produce some little bits and pieces of ASCII art, nothing amazing mind, just some bits and pieces. Normally these take the form of some sort of MOTD or similar, the two that I have here relate to my role as an admin on HybNET.
I think I will expand on this section once I collect all the bits and pieces I have made. It is really amazing what you can do with some simple text!
irc.hybnet.eu
A nice straight forward message, not to overblown.
