    This is rather amazing!

    Just type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" (without quotes) in a dos command window or in a telnet program.

    I got bored quickly and quit so not sure how long it is. Do you reckon this is shipping with windows :confused: .
    I searched starwars and didnt come up with anything, hope it hasnt been posted....

    Credit to Felix :D.

    What do you mean "shipping with windows" ?

    Telnet is a communications program that allows you to connect to other servers and execute text based commands on their servers.

    In this case you're connecting to telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl,
    from the "nl" suffix, it's a machine in the Netherlands.

    I think chanting "very old" is just another way for you boys flex that ever growing e-penis ;). I for one am glad i havent seen every little thing the internet has to offer...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭Nehpets


    oh relax. People say "old" etc.. because if they didn't people would come in and go:

    "wow ENDURANCE MAN! You so good! GOOD FIND!" getting credit for something which is years old..

    You are actually joking with the above statement? Haha :D, so when you post something you hope to get "credit" for it, if you read my post i actually gave the credit to my good friend felix who posted it up on my clan forums. You really need to not take these forums things so seriouly.
    All i was doing was sharing a bit of entertainment with the boards visitors, whether half of you have seen it or not is besides the point, i am sure there are hundreds of people who havent seen it!

    I'm still pretty fond of it.

    Besides when nine hundred years old your animations reach, look as good yours will not!

    Ah this takes me back to my early days in college. Which is many years ago. Now I feel really old :( All I need now is to see some dancing badgers and a dress-up Jesus and I'll feel like parents do when they hear their kids listening to their old albums.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,905 ✭✭✭Aard


    That's so old I've never seen it before. Props OP.

    I've never seen it either! I remember recently seeing it on YTMND though i think! (just the address, didnt telnet it though!)
    Does anyone have the telnet addresses for the other parts?
