Lately » Touching UNIX for the first time
"Why and How of Web Standards" - a terrific reading.
For the first time in my life I was actively sitting on a UNIX machine, which is situated in a lab of my university. The company that I work for has a UNIX machine, but I never go close to it because otherwise I would break it.
What are my first impressions?
At the beginning, I think, the computer ignored me completely and responded with a BEEP on any input coming from myself. Then I discovered a miracle command CTRL + D and the world of UNIX was much closer to me.
Despite of the fact that I was looking like a moron I think I learned a lot yesterday. I even created a page using a program called "pico" and checked my mail using a program called "pine".
One thing I hate though. I was able to use Netscape 4x only to browse the internet. There are no other browsers installed (or I don't know how to find them). I am not talking about IE of course.

Just be thankful you don't have to use the vi editor. Pico is probably one of the easiest to use. Lynx is a useful text-only Web browser. BTW: your pages look pretty decent in Lynx due to the xhtml and css.

All I know about VI editor is that it is a powerful little thing. We will use it soon, in a month or so ;-)
