Hey folks,

So some of you know already and most prolly don't, I'm going to be doing a presentation on ANSI art tonight at a local meetup group (but via zoom *shudder*), anyway the talk about ANSI art has slides, and I have created a slide show right on my BBS to use for the presentation.

If you'd like to come see the presentation (minus the bit with me talking), the presentation can be seen from my doors menu, press "Z" (a hidden menu item). It will take you into the presentation, and to navigate there are only 3 keys; left/right arrows, to go forward and backwards in the slides, and then escape to quit.

If you would like to come check it out, and like it, I will probably record the presentation either tonight or on my own retrospectively, and put it up on odysee/lbry.

I also plan to release it as a mystic bbs mod once the presentation has been done so if you would like it, I will pass on the details as and when necessary.


Would like your feedback if you're willing to share it =)

That will be so awesome, mL. I'll certainly run it @ 2o... :P Awesome!!

Thanks Paulie, I see you have it up already, that was fast! =)
I hope that people enjoy it, do you think it would be worth me adding a link on the thank you page to the video on Odysee/LBRY?

Oh yea, that IS a good idea. Might bring some people to BBSing - who are curious about this ANSi business.

One thing I did is add an ANSI splash screen mentioning what the buttons are - since "Q" isn't programmed in the MPY a user needs to know how to ESC out. :P I think the splash is fine, tho - and... thanks for allowing us to run it.

I'm super happy that you got beyond any nerves and did that.

I just added it to the last slide ANSI, make sure to do a `git pull` and then you have the latest version.

Yes I saw that and it's really a great idea. Thanks for doing that.

No probs and you're welcome, I hope it helps/contributes to the scene and bring in more people and/or at least maybe shed a little more light onto the topic.

Yah, it was tricky lol, half a bottle of wine helped a teeny tiny bit but the cause is worth it, sacrificing my nerves for the greater good lol.

OMG, git pulls on an MPL - next level... I'll figure that out soon enough.. I guess. :P

I feel a bit terrible because... MY 'ANSiStory' section on 2o was SUPPOSED to talk about ANSI - and now I'm using YOUR presentation... and ... it fits. Better than what I DIDN'T create for MY section on 2o.

At any rate, thanks for sharing... its really good.

Don't feel terrible, the presentation isn't "my" presentation, it's our presentation, anyone can use it, I made it for the scene. Glad you like it and run it too, the more the merrier.

At any rate, thanks for sharing... its really good.

Since sharing the link (only on tqwNet by the way), it's already had like 4 clones when I checked yesterday =) - wonder who else has it running on their board.

LOL!!! You did a great job; even sounded... professional. Lest I say so. :P

Thank you, I can only do my best =) (wine fueled or not lol)

I just uploaded it to my BBS in the file base "vIdEOs: AscII/AnsI", feel free to leech it and share it =)

I did try uploading it to your board hyjinx but twice I think it locked up the session, first time at about 48% and the 2nd time at only 1%.

Hey MeaT,

I just uploaded it to my BBS in the file base "vIdEOs: AscII/AnsI", feel free to leech it and share it =)

Excellent. I will do just that ;)

I did try uploading it to your board hyjinx but twice I think it locked
up the session, first time at about 48% and the 2nd time at only 1%.

How crappy. I will need to look into that. Was you using Zmodem or some other method?

Chur,
Al.

I used Zmodem 8K.
I think it could be that which is the issue, as uploading larger stuff to other [Mystic] BBSes using that does similar. I just tried uploading a 600MB file to paulie's BBS and it hung the node at 36%.

Might give another protocol a try.

I know it doesn't make sine; as some of the more advanced protocols SHOULD perform better - I get the best results with uploading large files just using plain old Zmodem.

I laugh when I finish some 1gb upload, on a protocol meant for Kilobytes.
