Dear The Internet

Dear The Internet,

You are missing a feature. You need a site where you enter some text, and it writes out the text for you in Horta writing, complete with a little animated horta and sound effects and smoke coming from the letters.

Sincerely,

Me

Great little punk band.

They have not played in a few years, but their music is still avail.

I actually found their web site while surfing links looking for an image file and read some of the stuff there. :-)

The Pain! The children. . .


The Horta is available as an appetizer at an Outback Restaurant near you cleverly disguised as Aussie Cheese Fries.

Dear tfabris,

  You are clearly new to the internet. Those who have been
  around for a while are intimately familiar with the first
  rule of the internet: If you thought of it, someone has
  put up a web page for it.

      Your friend,
            The Internet

PS: It was probably on geocities and doesn't exist anymore.

Dear The Internet,

That's why I was asking. I was sure someone must have already put up a page for it, but couldn't find it.

Damn geocities sites. You should have known better than to let something like that exist.

Actually, the Star Trek After Dark Screen Saver for Windows (which tends, regrettably, to crash in any Windows version past 98SE) did have a mode where you could have a Horta write stuff on your screen.

My favorite part of that screen saver was that, despite the very low resolution scanned graphics, and the very small size of the graphics on the screen, you could *still* see Shatner's corset through the shirt.

I'd love to see some of those old After Dark modules rewritten as modern SCR files. There were a couple I still can't find equivalents for these days.
