text test

September 4th, 2003

hmm … so i’m posting this using a text-based web browser. It isn’t exactly what I want, but it’s a start.

I’ll look more into the email option.

here is that script you asked for (well, just pretend you did ..ok?)

here we have it using the b2 button for “b-quote” blockquoting:

#! /bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
/usr/local/bin/mrtg –user=mrtg \
/usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg \
–logging /var/log/mrtg.log

and here we have the same thing using the HTML-standard “PRE” tag for preformatted text:

#! /bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
/usr/local/bin/mrtg --user=mrtg \
      /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg \
      --logging /var/log/mrtg.log

I like the way that the b-quote indents the text, and I like the way that PRE sets the font to something evenly spaced (courier). Perhaps I can hack the blockquote to do that. I hate the way that PRE makes the text double spaced (and unchecking the “Auto-BR” box does nothing).

can you hear me now?

i’m rethinking how information i work with is organized, presented, and archived. the fact that you’re reading this now (even if you are me) is significant in and of itself. I wish i had both a text interface for adding log entries and a way to upload photos alongside blocks of text. That would enable me to easily and comfortably generate the two main types of content I would want to publish on the web: illustrated field trip reports / experiences documented & notes on network/security/unix/administration/stuff.
