Just curious - are you using iverilog?
Yes.
I wonder about viewing waveforms, however.
Well, it says you can use GTKWave, and I assume it works, but I myself don't
need any pretty pictures: I personally can see whether my logic works right or
not from textual simulation output better than from pics. My brain prefers
text to graphics in absolutely every area of life.

In linux, the multimedia player "mplayer" will play just about any movie
file in a text screen, substituting ascii chars for pixelgroups... quite an
interesting thing to see...

Oof. I bow to their 1337 ski11z. ;)
That's probably the coolest hack I've ever seen. Ok, not the coolest.
The coolest was using a 10 story building as a Tetris playfield. :)

I like "erotic literature", but there hasn't been any decent visual

Speaking of PORN, I miss the huge LINE PRINTER calendars that had pin-up
girls and other modern graphics.
Anybody have luck getting the old Fortran programs working on the new
machines?

Well, it's not strictly porno, but I do have the Mona Lisa printed out
on nice wide green-bar paper hanging in my cube. I also have the Basic
Plus program and data file.
I think that www.textfiles.com might have a bunch of ASCII art, if they
are still around.

I have seen very little good work, but I suspect a lot has actually
been done and just hasn't, shall we say, achieved market penetration
enough to have been noticed. (In particular, there are a number of
things that I would find _fiercely_ erotic that, while entirely
mainstream, seem from my limited sample to approximately never show up
in mass-market porn. The reasons for this make an interesting subject
for speculation....)
