Display images in your terminal no matter the terminal (at least 256 colors).
Once upon a time I was looking for something that would allow me to see an image in the terminal, specifically via ssh, and the only tool I found was a small perl script with a wierd name here.
The code wasn't on github, so I had a chat with the author who kindly let me publish it.
Note: This was some time ago and the original link to his code is dead :(.

Video Demo (Not made by me!)
At the moment this script was only tested on Ubuntu and Arch Linux.
Copy the script to your bin directory (that should be in your $PATH and
install the following required perl modules.
sudo pacman -S perl-local-lib
sudo apt-get install libimage-magick-perl
sudo apt-get install liblocal-lib-perl
and finally:
perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib -e 'CPAN::install(Term::Size)'
