  1. Boing Boing: Type a word, get it back in 50 ASCII art fonts. “Lokesh Dhakar’s ASCII Today renders your text as big block letters made out of slashes, pipes, and underscores — the kind that head old README files and source-code comments. When you type a word at ascii.today, all 50 fonts appear at once in a grid, redrawing character by character.”

    Man kann das mit Telnet gucken. Viele halten telnet für ein Sicherheitsrisiko und installieren das nicht.
    telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

    Mit Netcat:
    nc towel.blinkenlights.nl 23

    oder Terminaleinstellung + Netcat
    stty -icanon && nc towel.blinkenlights.nl 23

    funktioniert das bei mir aber auch prima

  27. 17 July is the one day of the year when the calendar #emoji is correct!

    The word emoji combines the Japanese e (絵, picture) + moji (文字, character) and dates back to the late 80s. Its similarity to the English "emotion" is just a coincidence.

    Nowadays, emoji are standardised by the Unicode Consortium, a Californian non-profit that has its roots in facilitating a universal digital representation of the world's writing systems. #Unicode doesn't specify exactly how emoji should look – so they're different on Android and Apple devices, for example – but it lists their names.

    The first major character set used in computing was #ASCII, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, published in 1963. Using 7 bits, it could represent 128 characters — more than enough for a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9 and common punctuation marks, but certainly indicative of a North American worldview.

    Later "extended" versions of ASCII doubled this to 256 possibilities, allowing for dozens of accented letters, characters like æ and ß, and symbols like © and ¾. And double-byte character sets like Shift JIS meant that Chinese, Korean and Japanese could be represented in full. But multiple standards existed, and it became just a bit too common to see ����.

    The answer was Unicode: a single, multi-byte character encoding standard for everyone. Plus emoji!
