That's so cool!

I see options for embedding videos and soundcloud files too - nice idea! What does NFO ascii art text mean?

ASCII art is the process of creating (or tracing) an image with only the use of text characters and symbols. This is typically done in a simple text editor by typing characters in rows to create an image instead of readable language. ASCII art ranges from simple line "drawings" to full blown graphics, complete with depth and shading. The technique is similar to the newspaper halftone printing method where small dots of different sizes but the same color value are arranged to create an impression of a photograph. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange and is used to encode text representation for keyboard characters. ASCII art can be seen all over the web on forums and blogs. There are several ASCII art generators on the web that will programmatically reproduce a image in this manner.

The nfo tag basically tells the renderer to respect the spacing and not mess with any character substitutions.

Example:

                ._,.
           "..-..pf.
          -L   ..#'
        .+_L  ."]#
        ,'j' .+.j`                 -'.__..,.,p.

Do you remember the old green-screen ASCII terminals. It only took half a day to render a picture made up of nothing but "x"'s. Those were the days!!

Holy Shite, this IS COOL!!!

[Lee]

As a professional, father and a moderator I am deeply insulted by both your remarks
My only recourse is this timely message from spongbob, my personal hero

Since he only has 4 fingers, is that really the middle one?

good one ya for having the fortitude and resolve to get it done. My cousin refused to get himself checked out . Now he is confined to a wheel chair has had both gonads removed and has constant radiation treatment. The examination isn't that bad once you decide not to be embarrassed. I would prefer a female examiner , but they seem to be a little thin on the ground.

I have to have mine done next week. I have female dr, but I don’t know that it matters.
