Yup, I've been around a while.

That's a middle version. Over the years I reworked it several times for
several email addresses. There's a bit of trickery to getting the
blocktext code to work while changing the length of the email address.
Here's the latest version with an up-to-date email address, I include it
in the vt100-slowcat repo.

main(h,i,j,k,l){for(i=-12;i<13;i++,printf("\e[H")){for(l=858163*'!'-2,l*=5;
l>8;l>>=4)p(97-(l>>22)+(l&15));for(j=-12;j<12;){for(k=-15+3*(j==-12);15>k;)
p(h=(l=k*k+++i*i+j*j)<13*13?(l=sqrt(l))["..,:;iIJYVSOM"]:32),p(h);12>++j?p(
10):10;}}puts("\e[JElijah\n------\n*@qaz.wtf");p(10);}p(m){printf("%c",m);}

Here's the Makefile entry for it:

signature: signature.c
	@echo Lots of warnings are expected for this program
	gcc -std=c89 -o signature signature.c -lm
