OMG. The ingenuity (and geek level) of achieving this with something that is essentially invisible to 99.99999% of the human race (even most network admins) and planning ahead to do this is... indescribable.

Sir, I take my many virtual hats off to you.

... what is that VT510 connected to?

Is that tmux, with some ip config on the left, and an empty shell (with a fortune) on the right?

Do the sunflowers represent anything? :)

That's my favorite kind of art. It really is art done for it's own sake, for the creativity of it. It's its own motivation.

I guess instead of Nyan Cats on the internet we have Nyan cat as a part of it .
