I have developed three sigs and am wondering how they can be improved: Here they are: WAit! DOn't press ESCAPE and leave this post yet!!! /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | Philip Zeyliger | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | vzv...@netcom.com | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | KOHb on the Internet Chess Server | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | | Official Proof of Purchase | \=============================================================================/ This was the first one .. I need some info on how well the barcodes work... I know on a PC with ansi.sys loaded it looks like a real barcode (pretty cool) And on a Mac Plus (OLDOLDOLD) with Zterm 0.9 it looks weird but still looks almost like a barcode... |\__ / o\__ -------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ___=' | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | K \ Philip Zeyliger | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | \ O \ vzv...@netcom.com | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | > H \ | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | / KOHb \ on the Internet Chess Server | Official Proof of Purchase | |________| ===================================================================/ This is the improved version... BTW: KOHb means knight or horse in russian so that's why you have the little knight there.. Anyone got a better close sized knight out there?? Also interested in horses or Renaissance (sp?) Knights like Sir Launcelot! |\__ __/| / o\__ ------------------------------------------------------ __/o \ | ___=' `=___ | | K \ Philip Zeyliger / | \ O \ vzv...@netcom.com / / > H \ / < / KOHb \ on the Internet Chess Server -- telnet chess.uoknor.edu /5000 \ |________| ====================================================== |_______| Here is the latest version ... The previous is my current sig but this is the one i just made today... It doesn't have a barcode... I believe it could be improved by putting something in those 4 lines Where i have my name and e-mail address .. I don't think figlet will provide me with a reasonable font in 4 lines... Also looking for a duck saying Quack! instead of the second knight (Long story; look for cranium on the internet chess server and ask him about it... ) Also this last version has shortened lines so my news reader/poster won't complain..:) I would also like some input as to how well people see this sig on different computerrs... Thank you ! :) -- |\__ / o\__ -------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ___=' | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | K \ Philip Zeyliger | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | \ O \ vzv...@netcom.com | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | > H \ | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | / KOHb \ on the Internet Chess Server | Official Proof of Purchase | |________| ===================================================================/ -- |\__ / o\__ -------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ___=' | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | | K \ Philip Zeyliger | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | \ O \ vzv...@netcom.com | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | > H \ | �۳�ݳ�ݳ�۳�ݳ�ݳݳ�ݳ���� | / KOHb \ on the Internet Chess Server | Official Proof of Purchase | |________| ===================================================================/
