Textaizer is the most versatile Text Mosaic Creation freeware on the internet."
Textaizer is an application that turns your pictures in little pieces of art by re-painting the bitmap from text. Similar techniques exists such as ASCII art, by painting a bitmap from ascii characters with no particular sequence. Textaizer can be regarded as an intelligent ASCII text mosaic creator, where the input can be a random selection of ascii characters, but also predefined text.
This approach is similar to photo mosaic creation, where the photo is rebuild from small pictures that match the average color of the source bitmap wher it is placed. From a distance the picture is recognised, from close the individual pictures can be seen. Textaizer creates the same effect: from close you can easily read the text.
A second feature of Textaizer is to create genuine ASCII art pictures: text made from monospaced characters, famous for its application as e.g. e-mail stationairies.
Perhaps it could be solved completely on the web server side. You could just have a script on the web server that downloads a file from the web and saves it directly on the server.
dunno where i got that quote from in previous post -- maybe copied it before you edited it??hehe yep, i corrected it.
how about including threads that are older but "hopping" againyep, i think that's a good idea.. maybe a little section of the newsletter pointing out some of the most popular recent discussions, whether old or new posts.
Sun is proposing that open-source developers be paid for the revenue-generating technology that they have made available for free.
At the CommunityOne and NetBeansDay events in San Francisco on Monday, Rich Green, Sun executive vice president for software, expressed doubts about the current model in which open-source developers create free intellectual property and have others scoop it up to generate huge amounts of revenue.
"It really is a worrisome social artifact," Green said. "I think in the long term that this is a worrisome scenario [and] not sustainable. We are looking very closely at compensating people for the work that they do."
The current scenario is Robin Hood backwards: stealing from the poor and making others rich, said Green. He stressed that Sun, however, is the number-one contributor to open source worldwide.
There is a need to work closely with those in the open-source community to share revenues, said Green.
