Today on Mistigram, this amazing photo from MIST1116 by Jamie Stantonian. If you can’t find a piece of textmode artwork, this is absolutely the next best thing. My guess is that this is some kind of diagnostic mode on a sign demonstrating the possible characters available to convey your message. What kind of message? “Information” doesn’t clarify that much (any signal will do), but I can report that “eolas trachta” translates (from Gaelic) to “traffic information”. A bandwidth report here on the information superhighway then? Allegorically so, perhaps. In any case, I don’t see many box-drawing characters, perhaps explaining why Ireland never had any renowned ANSI art groups.
