Found this when trying to automate notifications for when books I listen to are published on their website.
you should curl horwood.biz if you like ascii are
Nice! I like how the ascii art is different each time and that using curl gives something different than the browser.
I'm looking to make an ASCII art server that I can route curl requests to for other sites I run
So I can make requests to your site and get ascii art back? That would be neet, please state rate limit when you do so that I don't spam you (if I ever would reach those levels of requests).
no rate limit at the mo, as the site doesnt get hit a lot
Saving this comment so that I can find my way back here when I have more time.
Why isn't it a cat?
Because it says THIS IS QUACK'DIBLE
Maybe cause it was easier to make an asci duck but "meow'dible" sounds more like "audible" than "quack'dible" does?
I looked through The Wayback Machine and 2025-02-19 03:55:37 was the first earliest occurrence I could find.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
