This ASCII representation of the male penis is a standard not only on Slashdot but throughout the Internet at large. Think of the Penis Bird as a final punch in a boxing match. Usually posted mindlessly, which in itself is fine and funny, the Penis Bird can be used to accent arguments, or as a finishing stroke in a well-formed (or poorly formed, for the matter) troll post.

There are several options for graphics a little more complex than emoticons but less complex than full-blown masterpieces of textual art. A useful resource should one need smilies in their troll posts. The Emoticon Database houses thousands of these smilies and their (sometimes) obscure meanings. The use of emoticons is typically relegated to inter-troll communiques and complex trolling effects in posts (i.e., adding an extra layer of ingenuity to the post in hopes of responses). The variety of emoticons is virtually limitless one can construct many obscure or weird "faces" with imagination being the only limit however, most true trolls would rather leave the tone and mood of their posts a little vague.

Since Slashdot (unfortunately for trolls) does not allow the embedding of objects, such as images and sounds, in HTML-coded comments, graphics must be constructed using textual characters: ASCII art. Michael co-owns internet agency Restruct Web, where he develops websites & apps (web & iPhone/Android).One of the most creative ways to express ones self in Slashdot's forums is with graphical, artistic representations art. Manytools is a project by Michael van Schaik, a webdeveloper from Rotterdam (NL). Manytools is a collection of tools to automate the repetitive jobs involved in webdevelopment (or any other job).

Today we finally got around to upgrading the site to run on HTTPS. Happy to inform that Manytools is now fully Chrome-62-ready, thanks Google! A secure connection had been due for a very long time. Our apologies for the inconvenience it has caused. This seemed like a nice way to support this website, but turned out to be far too much of a burden to our visitors.
