Watch the World Cup live! In ASCII!

Published on June 29th, 2006 in Fun

Right, you’re thinkin’ wtf?!?!?! That was my first thought, too. But there are a few guys, who decided to encode all of the matches into an ASCII stream. You can access it easily via telnet. Just type this into your command line (should work with Win, Linux & MacOS X): “telnet ascii-wm.net 2006″

Try it out while the World Cup hasn’t finished.

Sidenote: Those people really need to get a job!

This absolutely rocks. Makes me miss the good old terminal days.
