I’m pretty sure we’ll still be using ASCII in 1000 years.


I'm pretty sure ASCII fell below 50% web usage around 2003.

I had a 200LX in college. I managed to get Linux set up on my main computer so that it would provide a login terminal on the serial port, where the LX was plugged in.

I just discovered this site a few days ago, when trying to plan overnight rail travel in Europe. Everyone else (including the rail companies!) had missing or outdated information and often sites that were simply broken, and then this guy had like seven different options with all the details and links, everything fully up-to-date, and even recommendations for hotels for the options that included a layover.

Absolute godsend. I hope he got my referral-link bonus.
