ascii video live streaming

HasciiCam [1] makes it possible to have live ascii video on the web. It captures video from a tv card and renders it into ascii [2], formatting the output into an html page with a refresh tag or in a live ascii window or in a simple text file as well, giving the possiblity to anybody that has a bttv card, a linux box and a cheap modem line to show a live asciivideo feed that can be browsable without any need for plugin, java etc.
