hmm...
The obvious idea is to put the figure to the left and the
text to the right:

          , ; .
   []  ;'  ,. '.
   ||  () / '///
   ()   \/ ` ,/     
   ||   |`\_/       
   ||].'    i-;       __ __        _     ____  _    ___    _      _  _    _
_______
 ,////\~~--. .-~~\   /  \\ \    /\| |/\ | ___|| |/\ \  \  | |    / || |  |
||__   __| 
( \''/()   ,V    ;` | |\ \\ \  / /|    \| |__ |    \ |  \ | |   /  || |  | |
| |
(  | |=====_|~=== ) | | \/ \ \/ / | /\ /| ___||  /\ \|   \| |/\/ / || |  | |
| |
|  | |====/_ \=== | | |     \  /  |   \ | |   |     /| |\   |\  /| || |  | |
| |
 \ | |===/__)_`=//  | |____ / /   | \/ \| |__ | |\ \ | | \  |/  \| || |__| |
| |
  (  |=='___)__/\    \____// /    |____/ \___||_| \ \|_|  | |\/\___| \____/
|_|
   --'   ___)_|\ \         \/                      \/
\|blainarm@uvaix.uvic.ca

but as you see this gets too wide :(

One possible alternative would be to put the text on two lines:

          , ; .         __ __        _     ____  _   
    []  ;'  ,. '.      /  \\ \    /\| |/\ | ___|| |/\ 
    ||  () / '///     | |\ \\ \  / /|    \| |__ |    \
    ()   \/ ` ,/      | | \/ \ \/ / | /\ /| ___||  /\ \
    ||   |`\_/        | |     \  /  |   \ | |   |     /
    ||].'    i-;      | |____ / /   | \/ \| |__ | |\ \
  ,////\~~--. .-~~\    \____// /    |____/ \___||_| \ \
 ( \''/()   ,V    ;`   ___   \ |     _  _    _  _____\ |
 (  | |=====_|~=== )   \  \  | |    / || |  | ||__   __|
 |  | |====/_ \=== |    |  \ | |   /  || |  | |   | |
 |  | |===/__)_`=//     |   \| |/\/ / || |  | |   | |
  \ | |=='___)__/\      | |\   |\  /| || |  | |   | |
   (  |   ___)_|\ \     | | \  |/  \| || |__| |   | |
    \_'   ___)_| \ \    |_|  | |\/\___| \____/    |_|
          ___)_|  \ \         \| blainarm@uvaix.uvic.ca
  
better, but this one gets a little too high to look good :(

I give up, someone else can play with it now.
