I wrote about the Mind's Eye video that cat tooted about yesterday | |
and I am still continuing to enjoy them. I am drawn to stuff like | |
that and staring at visuals (like the milkdrop plugin on winamp.) | |
As I was watching, I started to wonder how the videos would look in | |
ASCII. ASCII videos aren't really good to watch actively, but makes | |
for good passive background video for a spare monitor. It can be ok | |
if it's animation or something. | |
I remember a hackerspace [] opening party I went to some time ago | |
had room with a blank wall that had ASCII movies projected on the | |
entire wall the whole evening. It was very cool and | |
very...hackerspace. People would go in that room and try to figure | |
out what movie was playing. Some stayed in there for a long time | |
to be...differently social. Most stayed in the main room with | |
everybody else and the DJ. | |
So yeah...the Mind's Eye...I loaded up the video in mplayer using | |
libcaca and have been playing with the settings. I can't really | |
get it to play at full screen in ASCII mode without going 640x480, | |
but even with that, it has a border and title around the window. Oh | |
well. it's still ok. I'll mess with it more later. Here's a bad | |
screenshot. [1] | |
Maybe I can rig up a projector or something and have it shine on my | |
face with ASCII Mind's Eye during a video meeting for work. That | |
should help me level up my l33t hax0r cred, lolz! ph34r m3~!! | |
