Computing Pioneer Bob Bemer Passes On


Computing Pioneer Bob Bemer Passes On 06/25/2004 08:53 AM

bobathome.jpg imageLet's take a moment to honor Bob Bemer, the man who, among other things, invented the ASCII character system, named COBOL, put the backslash into mainstream use, and developed what became the ESC key. He died yesterday at 84 after a battle with cancer. Both technologies -- or at least the technology and the concept, I guess -- have changed the way we compute. If it weren't for people like Bemer, relative dabblers like myself wouldn't have had such great hobbies and careers these last few decades.

Bob Bemer, we give you a hearty :wq! May your compile be without error, and may your shell be always 80 characters. ^D

The ASCII-ized World


The ASCII-ized World 03/19/2005 02:22 AM

While tidying up some files on my hard drive — slow day today — I bumped into a copy of the ASCII Matrix movie clip that we wrote about a while back (was it really that long ago?) After watching it a couple of times I got to wondering where it came from (did I mention it was a slow day?)

After a little digging I came across romanm.ch; very clever site design, all in monospaced text, of course. It's not clear whether this guy came up with this work or not (I'm not sure what language this guy speaks, but thankfully most of the menu items are pretty understandable) but some of it, especially the "Animationen" is amazing. Check out Spiderman as an example. The ASCII Matrix movie clip is there under Movies, along with three other Matrix clips, and clips from several other titles, like Spiderman, Ice Age, Terminator, X-Men &: Stargate. He's even made a clip of one of my favorite animated shorts, Pixar's "For the Birds".

I'm not sure how he's made these ASCII movies; my best guess is that he used something like ASCII Generator to convert one frame at a time into text. Or maybe it's magic.

Another neat toy that romanm.ch links to is an ASCII sig line generator; key in whatever text you'd like to have ASCII-ized, customize it, and plug it into your e-mail signatures.

Now, back to work!
