ASCII ART with SMS

Is anyone know what is the structure of ASCII Art in SMS format? some i found is using line.separator, which allow do draw alots of ASCII art in 160 characters...
im trying to create an application on server which able to create ASCII ART and send as SMS to any mobile phone, is anyone has any idea? this project is just started and im currently doing research now. Or any sites to refer?
regards,
howsen

Sure, you could use \r or \n (or both) as a line sep in an SMS. But note, that lots of phones do not have monospaced fonts, and therefore ASCII art will just be rubbish (apport for the various screen sizes you'll have to take account for).
Still, sounds like a fun idea ;)

Creating ascii art in Illustrator

Hello,
This is my first time posting and I'm hoping you can help me.
I'd like to color letters of a text so that from afar the colored letters look like an image. The perfect example is ascii art - each character is colored appropriately so that as a whole it depicts an image of some sort.
My question is this: How do you color each letter to an image I have already created? I've tried playing with opacity masks but that colors the text as well as the background [of the text]. I only want the text to be colored.
Can you please tell me how I can achieve this?
Thank you.

I've tried playing with opacity masks but that colors the text as well as the background...
Don't use the artwork to mask the text; use the text to mask the artwork. Be aware, of course, an opacity mask does not address the problem of characters that are "split" by two adjacent colors:

Looking for an ASCII Art filter - possible to build from scratch?

I would like an ASCII art filter for Final Cut Pro. The closest I have found so far is one for imovie from stupendous software (http://www.stupendous-software.com/).
Does anyone know of one I've overlooked for Final Cut Pro?
If not, do you think creating a filter using whatever ascii art generator's are already out there would be a worthwhile attempt for someone with little programming knowledge?

Hi,
Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer! The function that I picked just to test what you need to do just happened to return a string that contains SPAN tags with style attributes. The actual function code is:
create or replace FUNCTION out_string_fn
   RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
   CURSOR emp_cur
   IS
      SELECT ename
        FROM emp;
   v_string   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   v_string := ' ';
   FOR c IN emp_cur
   LOOP
      v_string :=
            v_string
         || '<SPAN style="font-weight:bold;color:green">'
         || c.ename
         || '</SPAN>'
         || ', </br></br>';
   END LOOP;
   RETURN v_string;
END;And this returned a naff list in green (see [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=55041:57] and click the Test button) - but it does show that you can style the validation error messages

Computer graphics: from ASCII art to animated GIFs

Today's state-of-the-artanimated GIFshave a proud history.ASCII art Image credit: Chris.comAt the dawn of the computer age, computer graphics were crude. Computers were best at manipulating numbers and text, so developers created programs that used alphanumeric characters to create images. Some programming courses assigned students the task of writing a program to generate banners of giant letters made of many smaller letters. This ASCII art could portray recognizable images, but at incredibly low resolution.In the early days of the personal computer, when bulletin board systems became popular venues for home computers to share files, ASCII art evolved into ANSI art, which used an extended ASCII character set and ANSI escape sequences to create 16-color images.ANSI art Image credit: norbert79One of the big competitors to individual...

I am afraid you will have to learn to live with conversion issues between Illustrator and Fireworks: Fireworks, although doing a very good job, is NOT Illustrator, and I found that complex artwork often includes parts that are very difficult for FW to retain in their original quality.
A work-around is to bring in the artwork in parts, and manually fix the broken bits and pieces as you go along.
And, of course, you can always save the Illustrator work as a very high resolution bitmap version, and import that into Fireworks. I mean: the graphics are produced in Illustrator, and they do not need to be editable in Fireworks, do they?
Anyway, it is curtains for Fireworks - it's no longer being updated or developed. Photoshop now has Generator, which is arguably a better approach to web export than Firework's aging slicing. The smart objects (including their new state option) and new alignment tools, and the many plugins and improvements make Photoshop quite useful as a replacement. Smart objects in Photoshop display even extremely complicated AI files without a hitch.

Image to ascii art and back converters

I've wanted to find a good image to ascii art converter for ages but have never found one that did everything I'd hope. I had another look today and rediscovered aalib and libcaca. I haven't look into the libraries themselves because I don't want to write my own application (yet?).
libcaca's img2txt looked promising at first but it seems to be limited to the basic 16 color terminal palette even in urxvt-256-unicode. Is there some setting that determines this? I would really like to try to watch videos in mplayer using 256 colors or more. I've tried using the different driver env variables but they all seem to use 16 colors. It even uses 16 colors when generating TGA image files.
I also discovered jp2a which is great so far. It's slightly annoying that it's limited to jpg (wtf would anyone choose jpg as your input format for a conversion utility?) but imagemagick's "convert" and some piping do the trick. Again it seems that jp2a only uses the basic 16 bit color palette when printing to the terminal, but it has a full palette when generating html. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be able to generate image files, only direct console ascii and HTML.
For now I have added jp2a to tiv as an optdep. It uses the full terminal color palette and can even adapt the palette per image to make the most of it. I get some nice ascii output now with "tiv -r 0.6 -a -j /path/to/img". But that as well lacks the ability to convert back to an image format.
Is there nothing that can convert image files to (full-palette, i.e. >= 256) colored ascii art and then convert the output to its own image? I would really like a way to do batch conversions (e.g. to convert films, if no mplayer codec can do it).
In particular, does anyone have any simple ideas for converting an HTML-encoded ascii image to a real image file? I expect that it would be relatively simple to use webkit to create a simple utility for this, but I doubt that it would be easy to do quickly without any experience of webkit.
*sigh*

Text Login ASCII Art

So, this is a bit of a throwback but I am installing a new laptop with arch and this time instead of using something like Slim I thought maybe I would do a text based login but I want to customize what the login and login prompt display. I remember seeing this in the nineties when I first started using the internet and you could log in on unix servers for certain boards, they would display some ascii art BEFORE login and then MOTD after login. I found MOTD but am not sure how to customize the login screen
As an example:
_.-~7
\\ .^ / _.-~7
\\ /\. _.^ /
________\\ .--" _>-"/ /
`--------\"\ ___ / .-~"_~"/l _.-^-.
\.\" _/7-{ / /'~ ~/_.-"--._ /
/_.-~ \|~~Y Y _// "~-. ~
<"_ __'_I__I | (_/ \\
\_/_.~ j I~-' )Y
">-'Y\//\ _. ( j__
/7--l //"\j|_/// ._ _7 ~"-. Welcome to ____ net!
// "/,^. | 7/--||-~__) \
.// // //"'// l`"~_ Y .-Y ----- INSERT TERMS OF USE STUFF HERE ------
3/ .//_// // ~7` ||--._/ |
3/ L/ _// /` /|| !
L/ /` / !j /
i /` / // /
l\ /` '_// .^
\"--"` L/ _.-~
"-.____.--"~
Username: _
Thanks for the help

You may acheive a MOTD at login by editing /etc/motd, here is an example in the wiki. A quick Google search also turned up this page which has a fairly detailed instructions on how to acheive an ASCII MOTD.

Looking for ascii art wizards

I'd like to humbly request someone with the skills or someone who knows the right tools, to take the two images in the upper left (the "arch" and the archlinux word) and convert them to ascii art.
Now, I do not mean a simple "convert logo.png logo.xpm", that'd be too easy. I'm looking for:
a) terminal escapes for colors
b) sized to fit on a 80x30 screen or so.
This implies that it should be in a text file, and, on a color terminal, if I "cat archlogo", it should look as intended.
That makes the "arch" a bit wonky, but still doable... here's an example:
If anyone can do this, I'd be in your debt forever. Also, if you know any tools to use to do something like this, let me know as well.

I like to have an Arch logo entry visible with each terminal session so I use a script in /etc/rc.d that is run at desktop login and thereafter as a cronjob (to increment the uptime variable) which outputs to the text file /etc/issue. This is then read by my ~/.bashrc via the simple entry below. I then add a few more things to .bashrc to provide further output but the ascii logo and system info gets it started.
# Import Issue
echo
cat /etc/issue
echo
This is the /etc/rc.d script:
#! /bin/bash
LGRAY="33[1;6m33[1;37m"
WHITE="33[1;6m33[1;37m"
LBLUE="[1;36m"
DBLUE="[0;36m"
DGREY="[1;30m"
UPTIME=`uptime | awk '{for ( i = 3; i <= NF-7; i++ ) if ( i != NF-7 )
print $i; else print substr($i,1,length($i)-1);}'`
rm -f /etc/issue
/usr/bin/clear >> /etc/issue

Sending my ASCII art over skype messenger

Trying to send my ASCII art to a friend and having trouble.
There are a couple BIG issues. One is that some of the strings get rendered as emoticons. This can be worked around, like substituting ;| for on a shaded border. This isn't IDEAL, but gets the job done. It would be great if I could specify that my message shouldn't render any emoticons.
The problem I haven't been able to solve is the FONTS. I can not figure out how to get a fixed-width font accross skype messenger. I can paste rich text into the box or specify the font in the box, and my art looks great in the box. Invariably each time I press enter, the message appears in the chat window in a variable-length font MESS.
For example, if I put an ASCII monkey in the box, it looks great:
w c(..)o (
w /|
| \
ejm97 m m
Then I send the message, and I get something like this:
w c(..)o (
w /|
| \
ejm97 m m
Which isn't what I want to send at all!
Anybody else had trouble with this? It would be great if there were a solution. I'm very eager to use skype for instant messenging ASCII art!
Thanks!

Skype does not use a proportional font which is why ASCII art does not produce good results.

Replacing non-ASCII characters with HTML charcter references

Hi All,
In Oracle 10g or greater is there a built-in function that will convert a string with non-ASCII characters like this
a b č 뮼
into an ASCII string with HTML character references like this?
a b & # x 0 1 0 D ; & # x B B B C ;
(note I had to include spaces between each character in the sample code for message to prevent the forum software from converting my text)
I tried using
utl_i18n.escape_reference( val, 'us7ascii' )
but for some reason it returns
a b c & # x B B B C ;
Note how it converted the Western European character "č" to its unaccented counterpart "c", not "& # x 0 1 0 D ;" (is this a bug?).
I also tried a custom solution using regexp_replace and asciistr (which I can't include here because the forum software chokes on it) but it only returns the correct result for values <=4000 characters long. Unfortunately asciistr doesn't appear to accept CLOB values larger than 4000 characters. It returns an error message like
(ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (actual: 30251, maximum: 4000) ).
I'm looking for a solution that works on CLOB data of any size.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

So with that (UTF8) in mind, let's take another look.....
As shown below, I used a AL32UTF8 database.
Note: I did not use a unicode capable tool for querying. So I set console mode code page to 1250 just to have č displayed properly (instead of posing as an è).
Also, as a result of using windows-1250 for client character set, in the val column and in the second select's ncr column (iso8859-1), è (00e8) has been replaced with e through character set conversion going from server back to client.
Running the same code on a database with a db character set such as we8mswin1252, that doesn't define the č (latin small c with caron) character, would yield results with a c in the ncr column.

How do I disable smoothing when merging flat layer(pixel art) with a 3d object in Photoshop CC 2014?

After doing some painting on a gun in cs:go, I now need a part of the painting to be pixel perfect, but I can't seem to find a way of stopping the automatic smoothing whenever I merge the pixel art with an 3D object.
Pre-Merge
After Merge

I only see the normal texture filtering. Seems like you have a fundamental misunderstanding here about how 3D works - "pixel perfect" has no meaning for 3D textures since UV space is parametric and has by itself in theory infinite resolution, so any texture will be fit into this range and inevitably a single pixel in the texture can cover more than a pixel on screen or more than a square milimeter on a 3D object. If you want "sharp" textures, you increase the texture resolution, which, if you realyl want that pixely look would be doen using the nearest neighbor method. Regardless, once you zoom in at some point you will see fuzzy edges/ pixels again. It's in the nature of the thing.

Oracle Database 10g Integration with SMS gateway

Dears
my company system should integrate with SMS gateway to send the customer SMS, actually i haven't any information about Database Integration methods in general(first time to do that) and In particular about SMS gateway
Please help ASAP and try to provide with any useful links
Thanks So much for all

What do you expect - us having crystal balls that will tell us what interface methods and protocols your SMS Gateway support?
Find out what the API is for that Gateway and then we can talk of how to use that API from PL/SQL.
But not knowing the API.. how on earth should we know what to from from a PL/SQL perspective to interface with it? Does it use a TCP interface? Named pipes? RPC calls? DCOM calls? Corba? SOAP? JMS?
There's a huge number of very different types of interfaces that service software can support. Without knowing what that interface is, it simply is not possible to tell you how to use that interface from PL/SQL.

ISE integration with SMS gateway required license

Hello All,
We have cisco WLC with guest wireless access configured to use local database. the managment requires new solution to send cridintials to user throug SMS after the user signup through portal.
we decided to use the cisco ISE. my question is what is the required license to integrate ISE with WLC and SMS gateway. should we use the Basic license, advanced or the wireless license.
Thanks,
Amr

Hi Charles,
why do you say "you would need Base and Plus Licenses at a minimum"?
Looking at the ISE licensing guide (table 2):
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/datasheet-c78-730772.pdf
it seems that Guest Portal services are already included in Base License (and all the AAA stuff too),
therefore enough for the "Wireless Guest Access with SMS authentication" needed by Amr.
Finally, the advantage of 'Base' license is that is Perpetual ...no annual fee to pay ;-)
Regards.
