1000 Words is a little web service I used to run when I had ASP hosting. Now that I have moved to a Linux box I no longer maintain it. I have, however, released the code for those who want to run it themselves. What does it do? You upload an image via a web form and it converts the pixels into ASCII art. You get to choose the text to be inserted into the image. The code colours it up. An HTML page is returned and is cached for a certain period of time. The page sizes are very big! more…

I had spent a small amount of time with an object called ASPImage and had programmed a system which could store a library of small images and then decompose a source image into the smaller images. This was something I had wanted to do for a long time and I was very chuffed with what I had done. I believed to to be quite innovative, however, a search on the internet deflated my excitement and ego. There were already a number of plug ins and standalone systems that did what I had programmed. Damn. more…

A picture’s worth a thousand words. This little web page takes a JPEG image and converts it to an ASCII representation. You can upload your own image and supply the text which will make up the completed image.

Update: This site no longer works because I moved from ASP hosting. Take a look at the code section where you can download it.
