Hey There,
This post is dedicated to my son, Ian, who just turned 6 today (well, actually yesterday, but - as most regular readers know - I publish a day in advance. Makes life confusing sometimes ;)
The ASCII art I used as an inspiration for the scripts below was, again, grabbed from Joan Stark's ASCII Art Gallery, which is a great place to find quality ASCII art for almost any occasion.
The second bash script below, as usual, contains X's where spaces should be, so you don't get a bad pull from a copy/paste off of the web page.
Not much more to say except:
Click the greeting below to see it in IMAX ;)
Cheers,
