Star Wars.... GREAT!!!

Just to clear things up Star Wars and I just DON'T mix! Now with that behind us, lets get on with the show...

For task B we had to telnet over to blinkenlights which if you had not put two and two together is a Star Wars story. This apart from being Star Wars was pretty cool, these guys who made this up must have had a hell of a lot of time on their hands! I mean to take the time of putting such a flashy show together.

The way the guys developed the pictures using letters and numbers etc to make the story more interesting. Whereas now days you can transfer a video from one computer to another in a few clicks of a mouse. However these guys probably had the same idea as we now have, they just didn't have the technology and knowledge to be able to make it happen to the extent we can now.

Its pretty amazing to be able to see that this is where the internet used to be, and to think about just how far it has come in really, a pretty short time. Today you can log onto someone else's computer and see there screen and access all the programs that they would be able to access if they were sitting there infront of it.


Great little task, really was an eye opener as I thought telnet wouldn't work with stuff like this, it kinda reminds me of some old dos looking games I used to play...

Those were the good old days... haha
