A true artist does not make money of his art but keeps producing art because his soul demands him to. .. as for myself I haven't found anyone who will pay me yet ;) The answer to your question is no. Though I thought about it the other day and came to the conclusion that a ascii-artist would be very handy for making the tele-text (Text-TV) pages seen on european TV ( NTSC does not leave some of the bandwidth unused so unlike PAL it can't transmit tele-text .. so most americans dont know what this is) You can browse DR1 & DR2 (Two of the primary danish TVchannels) TextTV by browsing to : http://www.dr.dk/nav/tekstttv/ttv.asp?side=100&kanal=dr1 The biggest frame contain the TextTV pages , you browse it by clicking a page number or entering one in the field called "Gå til side [____]" It contains news , sport , weatherinfo , a TV guide , a radio guide .. etc Some of the pages contain little images made with the limited charset available for TextTV (although it's not as limited as ASCII) Can you think of other jobs a ascii-artist would be perfect for ?

The reason the leftpondians do not have Teletext ist same reason why they are behind in mobile phones and particularly SMS: instead of one standard available everywhere and used by everyone they fragmented the market. Different stations send different stuff in the VBR and TV makers do not decode any of them, leaving this to various different specialised settop boxes that are extra buys and so are not universal. -- Neil Franklin, neil@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Hacker, Unix Guru, El Eng HTL/BSc, Sysadmin, Archer, Roleplayer - Intellectual Property is Intellectual Robbery ###### From: Taliszanna Newsgroups: alt.ascii-art Subject: Re: professional Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 00:33:11 -0600 Organization: University of Saskatchewan Lines: 24 Message-ID: References: <3C16E7F2.1800@onramp.net> <3c175972$0$52951$edfadb0f@dspool01.news.tele.dk> NNTP-Posting-Host: chem4823.usask.ca Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Trace: tribune.usask.ca 1008225259 27221 128.233.48.23 (13 Dec 2001 06:34:19 GMT) X-Complaints-To: usenet@tribune.usask.ca NNTP-Posting-Date: 13 Dec 2001 06:34:19 GMT In-Reply-To: <3c175972$0$52951$edfadb0f@dspool01.news.tele.dk> Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news-ge.switch.ch!news.maxwell.syr.edu!sunqbc.risq.qc.ca!torn!canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca!tribune.usask.ca!chem4823.usask.ca!taliszanna Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.ascii-art:25580 On Wed, 12 Dec 2001, CeeJay wrote: > A true artist does not make money of his art but keeps producing art because his > soul demands him to. > .. as for myself I haven't found anyone who will pay me yet ;) Don't be silly, dahleeng-- even artists must feed their stomachs and keep their heads dry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ,qppppp. qMMM____;M ~ Taliszanna WhiteCrow ~ (a.k.a Jessie Brown OR qMMM.^^(Mp Her Mighty Erisian Po*piness, Pope Dances-with-Earwax) .qMMM__=/Mp _/ http://talis_white_crow.tripod.com/ MMMMM_',MMp dMMMM YMMp -----BEGIN DISCORDIAN CODE BLOCK----- dMMMp ):# [Version 1.0] T | / : A \^^^A \ DADA/DPH/DPA C++ ---(C-- ---) S: a21 Comp+ P E L____\ :|__\ F++(F)@ R TV b+ JAKE?
