Subject: Toogle

It's a slight twist on the Google Image Search.  You search an image, and it brings up a result in ASCII art.  Give it a try and see what you get.  I can't figure out how it's done

When I googled my screen name, it brought up my Burger King avatar as an ASCII ART.  Too Awesome 8)

Hit your printscreen key, then paste it in Windows Paint so you can save it as a JPEG

That's because it's not possible.  You have to take a screen print of the image, open up an image editing program like PSP or Microsoft Paint, click "paste" and then crop the image.  Save it your hard drive, go to Imageshack, upload it and then put the link between the IMG tags.

seems like a lot of steps needed



It's not that hard once you do it a few times.  What image were you looking up?  I can post it here for you if you want.

Yes, it does. 


When you open up Paint, go to "Image" and then click on "Attributes".  It will allow you to resize the image.  Or, you can cut the image out, using the second "select" option (it looks like a rectangle), copy that, open up another blank image, paste it and then save it, upload it and put it here.

So, how am I supposed to know what to change it to?  I don't have the patience to keep monkeying around with the numbers ;D



Then just go for the second option.  That doesn't require you change the image size.

I tried this, I put in my screen name and an image came up but I couldn't make it out. It seemed too
out of focus. Maybe I'll try later.
