Ye this was a WE project that just looked so cool, and some of the libraries needed were already out there. Opensourcing & moving everything to telnet/ssh is probably the next step. For now it was just fun :P

That would be amazing! There's a real dearth of terminal-based amusement on the internet these days - last cool thing I remember was that telnet server that would play the first third of Star Wars in ASCII art. Being able to buy Unix swag entirely over SSH would definitely take the crown.

Good stuff though :) I see similar initial reactions to mine elsewhere in the thread, but let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good, eh?
