does anyone know a good ascii site with anime ascii?

does anyone know a good ascii site with anime ascii?
Excuse me for not knowing.... but what is ASCII?
It's an abreviation for something?
If I know what it is you're looking for then maybe I can help you.
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) - one of the first standards of showing roman alphabet on PC - consists of 95 characters [Wikipedia Link]. What the person is referring to, on the other hand, is ASCII art, which - simply put - means "imagery done with using only ASCII characters". You can see an example of ASCII imagery [here].
And back to the original topic on hand...
I don't know much sites, but I'd suggest "doing" your own instead. I used JavE [link] to do all my ASCII. It's an ASCII Image Editor that is written 100% in Java (which lets it run on almost any system). You can draw in it yourself as well as use an incorporated image-to-ASCII convertor, if you like.
The Google search "Anime ASCII" shows up some sites that might interest you, although (of course) some of the art on them are made with programs very like JavE.
I hope this serves the purprose of your thread. And remember to play with the settings of the image-to-ASCII convertor in JavE, often you get the best results only after editing the way convertor receives/interprets/edits your file.
95 printable characters exist, but there are more that serve other (data) purproses
nice program JEEB, gonna try it out :)
but while Im learning how to use it, it would be nice if anyone know any good sites
We do have a tech section

1st space tourist takes off, April 28, 2001
Born in Queens, NY, Tito earned a bachelor's degree in astronautics and aeronautics from New York University and a master's degree in engineering science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He made his millions in finance, starting his own investment firm in 1972, but in the 1960s he was an engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, where he helped to plan and monitor the Mariner 4 and 9 missions to Mars.
Tito had long dreamed of space travel and in June 2000, signed a deal with a commercial space company called MirCorp for a trip to Russia's Mir space station. Those plans fell through, however, when Russia announced plans in December 2000 to deorbit the aging station. Space Adventures Ltd., a Vienna, VA-based company describing itself as "the world's premier private space exploration company," brokered a new deal with Russia's Federal Space Agency for Tito to travel to the International Space Station.
Tito spent 7 days, 22 hours, and 4 minutes in space and orbited Earth 128 times with cosmonauts Talgat Musabayev and Yuri Baturin.
At the time of his flight, Tito was 60 years old. The oldest rookie space flyer at the time was NASA astronaut Deke Slayton, who made it to orbit in 1975 at the age of 51. As the 415th person in space, Tito also ranked as the oldest person to be launched aboard a Russian rocket, and the third-oldest person to fly in space. John Glenn flew at age 77 and Story Musgrave flew at 61.
Space agencies from several other countries were not pleased with Russia's decision to accept Tito as a candidate for commercial spaceflight. NASA officials did not believe Tito's training would be sufficient by trip time. Undeterred, Tito trained for eight months at the Star City complex outside Moscow, where cosmonauts have prepped for flight for decades. He spent nearly eight days in orbit as a crew member of ISS EP-1, a visiting mission to the International Space Station. This mission was launched by the Soyuz TM-32 spacecraft and was landed by Soyuz TM-31.
Tito described his space travels fondly: "For me, it was like being in heaven—it was like being in a second life."
Tito has been in the news again more recently. His not-for-profit mission, Inspiration Mars, which he announced in early 2013, was initially supposed to use entirely private or commercial vehicles to launch a pair of astronauts into Earth orbit in early 2018. The crew would take advantage of the planets' fortuitously close orbits at that time to take a 501-day journey around Mars and back home.
However, according to a November 2013 article in New Scientist, "a new architecture study report released on 20 November concluded that the plan could not work without NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), a heavy lift vehicle that is still in development but should be ready to take humans into space by 2021."

Alan Axelrod, PH.D.
About this title: For some, patriotism means flags and parades, for others it's "My country right or wrong." But it's much more than that, and as Alan Axelrod observes in this revealing review of our history, true patriotism is built on a bedrock of understanding--who we are as individuals and as a nation, how our ideals and our democracy have evolved, and what it really means to be an American. It's a challenge that calls for an open mind and a clear perspective on the people, events, and issues that shaped our society--and that's just what ...

The Recycling Partnership to Improve Recycling Rates
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
CONTACT: Katharine Eaton
(202) 463-2436,
Innovative project provides funding, technical assistance to increase recycling in Southeast region.
WASHINGTON – The Recycling Partnership has selected the initial group of cities in the Southeast region to work with. The cities will be announced once final negotiations are completed on the scope, design and public-private funding plans to implement recycling program improvements. The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) is an inaugural partner of this innovative project.
The selected cities will receive technical and financial assistance around four key areas:
- Access: Ensuring all households with curbside collection are served by large roll carts.
- Education and Outreach: Increasing participation and reducing contamination of recyclable materials.
- Regional Coordination: Creating strategy across the entire supply chain; ensuring use of best management practices.
- Champion Building: Bolstering support from local and state elected officials.
"The industry has a sustainability goal to exceed 70 percent paper recovery for recycling by 2020," said AF&PA President and CEO Donna Harman. "Our participation in The Recycling Partnership adds another component to our ongoing paper recovery efforts."
"We are eager to grow the industry's significant investment in promoting increased paper and paper-based packaging recovery and to eventually see The Recycling Partnership expand nationally," added Johnny Gold, senior vice president, Recycled Fibers Division, Newark Recycled Paperboard Solutions, and chairman of AF&PA's Recovered Fiber Sector.
In addition to AF&PA, inaugural partners of The Recycling Partnership include: Alcoa Foundation, Amcor, American Chemistry Council, the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers, Ball Corporation, Carton Council, Coca-Cola, Sonoco and SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association. Curbside Value Partnership is managing this collaborative initiative.
AF&PA recently announced that 63.5 percent of all paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling in 2013. To find out more about the industry's recovery efforts, visit paperrecycles.org.

Just as a comparison since we're brewing the same recipe: I checked my gravity today. OG was 1.042, today (19 days into fermentation) it is still 1.030. But it looked like this:
Our situations are a little different I suppose. I have had some STRANGE lag phase where it took like 16 days for fermentation to really get active (by a lack of kraussen and very little airlock activity until day 16-17).
Smell and taste seem to be ok and no visible signs of infection from yours or mine. So, RDWHAHB I guess
You have fermentation. IGNORE what your airlock is or isn't doing. And trust those of us who've been doing it longer than you?
Bubbling doesn't really mean anything other than the airlock is bubbling. And airlock is not a fermentation gauge, it's a vent to bleed off EXCESS gas, be it oxygen or EXCESS co2. It shouldn't be looked at as anything else, because an airlock can bubble or stop bubbling for whatever reasons, including a change in temperature (gas expands and contracts depending on ambient temps) changes in barometric pressure (You can have bubbling or suckback in the airlock, depending on pressure on the fermenter) whether or not a truck is going by on the street, the vacuum cleaner is running, or your dog is trying to have sex with the fermenter. Or co2 can get out around the lid of the bucket or the bung...it doesn't matter how the co2 gets out, just that it is.
And bubbles don't coordinate with anything concrete within the fermenter either, "x bubbles/y minute" does NOT TRANSLATE to any numerical change in gravity....if an instruction says do something when bubbles do something per something, throw the instructions out.
Fermentation is not always dynamic, just because you can't see what's going on, doesn't mean nothing is going on. And just because your airlock starts up, and then slows down or stops in a few days, doesn't mean fermentation is over YET, it just means the excess co2 is not coming out of the airlock...not that the yeast is done.
The only way to know how your beer is doing is to take a hydrometer reading, if you're worried. But not until 72 hours have gone by. Then if you're still concerned, take one...then you'll know.
Counting bubbles does not equate to anything usable in fermentation. It's not like "x bubbles/minute= y gravity points." It just means that co2 is being released....but it could also NOT be bubbling, and still fermenting away.
Relax, leave your beer alone and let it do it's thing for a couple more weeks, and most importantly, IGNORE what your airlock does or doesn't do.
In fact you might find this discussion on the superfluousness of airlocks something that will help you get a handle on this. It was started by a newer brewing who just grasped this concept.
You don't NEED to repitch,looks like you have a happy fermentation going. PLEASE get out of the mindset of an airlock is anything other than a cheap vent. Fermentation happens regardless of whether an airlock bubbles.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Yep. If you are using a kit and following instructions, disregard the airlock instructions. That doesn't mean a thing.
Think of the airlock as an escape route for any excess gas and that's it. Even after bubbling slows or even stops, the yeast are still cleaning up. The active portion of fermentation is just the yeast going to town on the simple sugars causing the gas. After those simple sugars are gone, they will work on the more complex sugars. This will help develope a better flavor and clearing of your beer. The instructions that come with kits often don't mention anything about this, except after 5-7 days transfer to a secondary (which is a whole other argument on this forum).
Things are fine! I had the same issue recently and I thought something was wrong. Of course I came here and asked. Like everyone is saying, the airlock doesn't monitor fermentation. I had a 7 gallon bucket with only 5 gallons of beer in it and nothing happened in the airlock at all just because the bucket had enough space for the beer and for the co2. So there was an instance where the airlock didn't indicate anything.
I'm pretty new but I keep learning over and over again...just be patient.
To quote from above: "Just as a comparison since we're brewing the same recipe: I checked my gravity today. OG was 1.042, today (19 days into fermentation) it is still 1.030."
Is it normal sometimes for the gravity to takes so long to drop?
"making alcohol is easy....making it taste good, well that's were the real challenge is!" -Glibbidy
Heads up to Glaurung30, check out Urban Sunshine, they now have brewing supplies and have 3 locations in the Orlando area.
Primary #1 - Midnight Ryeder (Midnight Wheat and Rye)
Primary #2 - Mango Habenero Berliner Weisse
Primary #3 - EMPTY!
Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown (brewed August 2012)
Keg #1 - Oktoberfest
Keg #2 - Chamomile Honey Wheat
Keg #3 - Pumpkin Ale
Bottled - NONE!
I've posted all that info in the "Fermentation can take 24-72 hours" thread.
Muntons Dry Yeast rehydrated in 75 degree water for 15 minutes
Pitched in 75 degree wort
Fermenting in 6.5G bucket at 68-72 degrees
Current Gravity: 1.030 (2/26/13)
At day 16-17 vigorous airlock activity occurred after no activity and little to no kraussen visible (opaque plastic bucket) and so I got concerned that this late in the game I was seeing such vigorous activity. Checked the gravity and smelled fine, tasted bitter (not done fermenting) and I could see flocculation beginning (floating yeast particles)

NBA Trade Rumors 2013: Kevin Garnett would utilize no-trade clause if Boston struck deal with Denver for KG
Originally written on Celtics Town | Last updated 11/17/14
The Denver Post is reporting that the Denver Nuggets have expressed interest in Kevin Garnett. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, this feeling is a one way street:Through his representatives, Garnett has let it be known he has no current interest in the Nuggets.No surprise there, as the article goes on to call Denver a "fly-over city" and not a desirable destination for most NBA talent.But, here in fantasy-land, lets play out this potential scenario. Who would the Celtics be asking for in return? George Karl seems to have fallen out of love with Kenneth Faried, as 'The Manimal' has been sitting out in crunch time in favor of two point-guard set featuring Andre Miller and Ty Lawson. Denver does have to young talent the Celtics are looking for: Lawson, Faried, Gallinari, Chandler, and McGee (ok maybe a stretch). They also have a plethora of true centers in Koufos, McGee, and Mozgov. It is unclear as to what combination of any of these players would interest Boston, but there Denver is deep and has players to spare.While fantasy-land is fun, KG would not do this deal, and I would not want him to do this deal. He has been fiercely loyal and committed to his teammates and team in Boston. The Big Ticket recently said: ""I bleed green, I die green, that's what it is," and his refusal to go to a B/B+ team only supports that claim. As over-stated as it is, its still hugely refreshing to see someone so loyal to his team as Mr. Garnett.

Love this little unit!
Don't be surprised by it's small size or low price!

The UE Mini Boom sounds fantastic with subtle details and heavier bass. I connect this device with my iPhone 5. Within each Mini Boom is a set of quality speakers.
The device overall was very easy to pair, and there is a manual on / off switch in the back.
Charging is simple with Micro USB and battery life has been superb - haven't run it all the way down but have used it for roughly 4 hours and iPhone stated the Mini Boom was at about half.
There are few buttons on this speaker which makes things simple, and the colors are attractive and modern. You can synchronize two Mini Booms together via the Ultimate Ears app for iOS. Haven't tried this feature yet as I only have one.
I highly recommend this speaker if looking for a quality entry level bluetooth speaker that is durable and adaptable. I use this as a line in with my PC between moves, a bluetooth nightstand speaker, and with my Android tablet.
I wish I had a few more of these! …

They Mean Mini BOOM
I was looking for a speaker that was portable, had great quality, and could be turned up really loud. Since I've been a musician f I was looking for a speaker that was portable, had great quality, and could be turned up really loud. Since I've been a musician for over 15 years and am about to graduate with a degree in music, I'm really picky about sound quality.
So when I went to the Apple store I told the guy what I was looking for and he immediately pointed me toward Ultimate Ears speakers. However, since I wanted something more portable I went with the mini and it's great using it in the car when you have a call come in. The sound quality was incredible and I loved how you could adjust the sound whether you're indoors or outdoors. The only drawback is that for some reason the music cuts out a little whenever I use my phone for something else. So I would suggest not locking it after a good 10 seconds or so after the song starts. Maybe it's just my phone (since it's only a 4 but it's brand new) or maybe it's just that bluetooth capabilities already diminishes connection a little. But other than that I love it and I'm very happy with my affordable (and portable) purchase! …

Well, it is compatible as a single speaker and you can "DOUBLE UP" two speakers at a time but only i Well, it is compatible as a single speaker and you can "DOUBLE UP" two speakers at a time but only in Mono, not in true Stereo. Logitech, in their infinite wisdom released an app to pair them in Stereo but only for iOS and Android, not for Mac OS X or Windows. Their response is the speakers were designed for Mobile Devices.
