new CLI interface

May 26th, 2008 by abbas

okay so i’ve had some good and bad reviews about this new user interface. here’s a few issues that i wanted to address.

firstly, i found this via jason’s site. it’s essentially a command line interface emulator for wordpress and primarily bears resemblance to a classic vt terminal.

secondly, it’s not meant to render images. when it does, it does so in 8 bit. if you wish to see the images, please change the theme using the sidebar.

thirdly, i know the site breaks when using Opera and IE8. haven’t heard about any other browsers in which it breaks yet. do let me know if your browser does not work. in these browsers though, you should be able to switch the theme and get it to render with a GUI.

i’ve removed the ls command as it was going through the entire archive of posts.

i appreciate all the feedback. i really do. i know a lot of it pretty broken, but i’m working on it as i get time. credit goes to jason for getting me more involved into this. when you get a moment, go check out his Linux Log as well. jay, i’m taking partial credit for converting you over entirely from windows to linux. i know you were mostly there on your own anyway.

Update: Okay this is more headache than not so I’ve gone back to this GUI.

brave new world

well, at least GWB did something right. aldous huxley had it all wrong, there won’t be a brave new world after all.

This past week, President Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which would protect people from being discriminated against by health insurers or employers on the basis of their genetic information. ‘the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). GINA is the first and only federal legislation that will provide protections against discrimination based on an individual’s genetic information in health insurance coverage and employment settings.
