Portrait of Hiroyuki Nishimura by Christoph Niemann. Hiroyuki is the founder of the textboard 2channel (1999) where many Japanese Shift_JIS memes come from. It seems to have an even broader popularity than its English-speaking off-spring 4chan (2003).

Great clip from 1984 where Rolf Harris demonstrates C64 text mode graphics with great enthusiasm. “You can choose any colour you want!”

Looks like the software uses a slightly customized petscii font. He also announces a text mode compo, for single images and animations.
