Go Lynx

Fortunately, Jason, there are indeed fellow geeks out there who fully appreciate a good piece of technology. I, for instance, am currently blogging using a little browser called Lynx. I don't know if you've used it before but it is entirely text-based. Isn't that keen? Anyone who hasn't used it yet should try it out. It is blindingly fast since it only renders text. HTML tags are for the most part ignored. The em tag just colors the text. Pg Up and Pg Dn scroll up and down, right arrow follows the currently highlighted link, left arrow is similar to the back button. Pretty simple. A bit unergonomic at first glance, but it's great for using if you want to avoid ads, popups, spyware, etc. It doesn't run any javascript, so it's much safer that way. The default for cookies is to prompt for allowing each and every one, so you always know exactly what comes and goes via TCP/IP on you box. 5w33t, n0?

Another great use is for using it to visit fun sites like blogger during boring classes - it doesn't look like you're goofing off instead of listening to the lecture.

As for Workspot, I give it a 9/10. It would've been a full 10/10 geekpoints, but When I used Galeon on the Workspot demo and went to Workspot it refused the connection when I tried to do the recursive demo. :)

Well, I'll see ya'll at das fest. And by the by, would everybody be down with a hike next week like around sometime in the AM on a weekday-ish? I'm thinking waterfall canyon or so. Think it over. You don't have to answer right now.
