Yeah...  well, I was messin' around.

I liked it when my bank would serve up a pre-selected image of my choice  
after login as kind of final verification that I've landed on the "real"  
bank site.

I recently came across this sort of thing:

$ ssh-keygen -f foo

I thought the "image" was kinda cool.

But the charset seems to be a bit limited to just .oO+E=BS*
