# blinkenlights-poster

*A modern recreation of the classic "Blinkenlights" poster, as described in

[The Jargon File](http://catb.org/jargon/html/B/blinkenlights.html).*

I'm not particularly fluent in legalese, but I believe the original

ideas and text of the "blinkenlights" faxlore, as well as its incarnation

in a poster format, to be in the public domain.

I have set this text in a more contemporary font to try and maintain its

simplicity and suitability in modern contexts. I have also made some

slight adjustments to the wording in the text to improve the tone

and remove some dated, potentially insensitive language.

*The text reads as follows:*

> **ACHTUNG!**

>

> **Alles turisten und nonteknischen lookenpeepers!**

>

> Das Komputermaschine ist nicht für der gefingerpoken und mittengraben!

> Oderwise ist easy to schnappen der springenwerk,

> blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken.

>

> Ist nicht für gewerken beï dummkopfen.

> Der rubbernecken sightseeren

> keepen das schnausenpicken hander in das pockets muss.

>

> **Zo relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten.**

The document is available in ODT and PDF formats,

in both US Letter and A4 paper sizes.

Both color and black and white versions have been produced.

I hope this brings the same joy to your server room as it does to mine.
