This put such a huge smile on my face. I was having a shit day, but now it's awesome. Thank you! P.S. I will go build like 9 websites using this immediately.

Hit me up with the links and I'll put you in the gallery on the first page of the pitch. I still need 3 more screen-shots to swap out.

It's even better in full-screen mode.

Press F11 to experience the 80's.

Author here. I had no idea this was posted until I just rolled out of bed. Feel free to ask any questions here or hit me up on gchat/skype/aim/facebook/yahoo with the same username as here if that's more comfortable for you. There's also the standard issue tracker and mailing list. Thanks!

I realize this is a ridiculous question (totally different platforms), but is this something that could eventually be made into a tumblr theme? I would guess that tens of thousands of people would download it day one.

I see this faithfully reproduces that the cursor takes one pass to write the text, then flashes through a second faster pass. I remember seeing that sometimes. Question: On the real systems where that occurred, what was the second pass doing? It never seemed to change anything. (No guesses, please. I'm looking for someone who knows.)

author here - it was an artifact of a common library that was used for TUI creation. I used it in the early 90s. Applications made with it all had it.
