I just realised that you can render #ConwaysGameOfLife in a terminal using #Braille, and indeed use it for drawing arbitrary monochrome graphics. I shall write a library for this and given that there are six dots available for use as pixels I shall call it #sixel. I fail to see any problems with this!

Today's discovery:

lsix

It displays images in the terminal using #sixel. Useful when you want to look at your pictures before downloading them over a slow network.
