I think the ascii barfics went away even before I left University due to a dead harddisk, and me being too lazy to re-create my changing fingerd and all the cruddy ascii art.

I think Helsinki University ended up having a simple finger service for a while to return the versioning thing (just because it was in too many FAQ's to drop entirely), but I don't think the great artwork was ever recreated..

(In all honesty, I don't think it ever really had more than a couple of pictures - the weasel, the sleeping cat, and some random other ones. "Great art" it was not..)
