Fun with telnet
As computer science students, we always strive to find new ways to see things and do things while having a bit of fun along the way. So, if you’re a Star Wars fan like me, the next time you find yourself rewatching Star Wars, why not try an ascii version.
If you simply type telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl at your terminal, you should be able to watch the full ascii version of
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Pretty neat eh?
p.s. This is a pretty old telnet gag. I learned this from my web systems professor (honestly hands down one of the best professors I’ve ever had).
