THIS week we
look at a fun
program we have just been sent to try out. This weeks
program turns text or we should say photos into text.
The program makers Metaware Productions
have made this fun program that really sends you back in time, until the age
when your home PC if you had one had a Dot Matrix printer and
printing picture, well...
So we had a quick go
and you can see the results achieved using the program:-
The best result
achived by us was
with the clock face of the Liverbuilding. As you can see
above. Also click
here to see large image of the
result above.
It is a simple
program that is fun and very quick to use. As it works
on Windows the program uses BMP photos to make the new images and
out puts in txt format. just remember when you open the txt to
have the format set as you picked in the program to get the same
result. We found word
We had to ask why does this program exist?
"Good question. For those of you who do not remember what computers
were like in the 1980's and 90's, I'll give you a little history.
Back in those days sending pictures with your email was out of the
question. Computers couldn't handle the large picture files. To
compensate, especially in the computer science classes, it was
almost an unspoken competition to see who could come up with the
most creative graphics made from keyboard characters alone. So, not
to be outdone, the chess player competitiveness came out in me and I
decided it would be nice if we could actually recreate an image as
close as possible just from the alphabet on a standard keyboard
using some computer algorithms. The program you we made is an
advanced version of that original effort. It is just a fun program
that will create artistic and entertaining images." Don
Kreuzberg, owner of Metaware Productions.

WHAT IS EPILEPSY
Epilepsy, meaning a
tendency to have recurrent seizures, is the most common serious
neurological condition. There are between 1 in 140 and 1 in 200
people in the UK that are being treated for epilepsy. Sudden
Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a syndrome where a person
with epilepsy dies suddenly, with no other cause of death revealed,
effects mostly young adults. Death of any nature causes sadness, but
SUDEP is more tragic and harrowing because of its suddenness, often
to people who are in the prime of there life or have not yet begun
there life.
Two out of every five people with epilepsy are continuing to have
seizures, which could be given the opportunity to be seizure-free.
Historical neglect and lack of investment in epilepsy services means
many people with epilepsy are deprived of this choice. There are 3
seizure-related deaths a day in the UK. Epilepsy can develop at any
age and 1 in 50 people will develop epilepsy during there life time,
even celebrities such as Elton John, Rik Mayall, Danny Glover, Neil
Young and most recently diagnosed Romeo Beckham.
