Yet another test
Ok, just compiled a version of links with Javascript support, and am seeing if I can actually post using it.
These things never go well, so this entry may not appear, or may appear several times.
Update: Or, shockingly enough, it may work perfectly. Except for the extremely narrow text entry box, and the fact that I didn't compile in GPM support. Because I suck.
Oh, and I am not a geek. I'm just looking through the docs to see if I can set up Emacs as an external editor because, um, I'm curious about these things.
And adding GPM support meant installing libgpmg1-dev on top of everything else. . .
Plus, running through wwwoffle brings up the problem of edits not showing up, and I'm really not looking forward to tweaking the settings for that so either my own site doesn't go through the proxy, or it just bypasses the cgi directory. . .
Why are you looking at me like that?
Closed captions for the friggin-old computer impaired:
- links is a text (and possibly graphics) mode browser
- wwwoffle is, well:
a simple proxy server with special features for use with dial-up internet links. This means that it is possible to browse web pages and read them without having to remain connected.
- GPM is:
a mouse server for the console and xterm
- And Emacs stands for Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping
Aren't you glad you asked?
What's that
You didn't?
Oh.
