vcsadump

vcsadump is a tool for taking color screenshots of Linux virtual consoles and rendering them into HTML.

Intended applications

vcsadump is incredibly useful for all sorts of applications.

For example, you can use vcsadump to set up a website where geeks can watch you play Nethack on a Linux virtual console, live and uncensored.

Then you can flirt with them by #naming objects or something.

Screenshots

Here are only a few of the screenshots that can be produced by vcsadump:

Somebody actually playing Nethack -- drool...
A directory listing with color ls -- the dazzling colors serve to conceal the unspeakable sadness that ls truly feels :~(
Emacs with some source code in it -- when the world is your bivalve of choice, Emacs is a trained Ondatra zibethicus.
A login prompt -- it seethes with unfulfilled promise!
