Self Portrait

Finally embarking on full fledge remodelation of my clone of ZAngband 0.4 by Blubaron, which I stumbled upon by chance while scourging github for #ZAngband references. I obviously won't update the version, due to my lack of coding skills, but will give it my *Machete's Edition* stamp when done. So far so good but boy, isn't it a lot of work.

I think I found an easter egg in neovim just by chance, I typed ":smile" as a command and it gave me an ASCII art as the output.
Video below shows the output, I had to record the output because if I took only a screenshot more then half of the output would had been cut off. I know a screen cast is a bit too much just to show an ASCII art, but this is the only way that I can show the whole output.

#WintermuteBBS - that's my second, #Linux based #BBS running the #MBSEBBS software - is now #back #online !

I've updated MBSE BBS to the latest version 1.1.0 (this is a pre-release but I don't mind) and purged quite a bunch of inactive users.

There will be smaller updates and changes throughout the next weeks, as some of the #rss #feeds no longer work and will either be updated or removed (most likely the latter) .

With the code to support plain #ASCII terminals being rewitten in this new release, I will try to rework some of the ASCII screens - but this is may take some time.

Finally, I can contact alien life forms through my terminal
