@kensanata The Python standard library's "cmd" module makes writing command line interfaces an absolute breeze, I am a big fan.

@kensanata Great! Waiting on the account confirmation email to my SDF address now...

I take it you found the prototype not too horrible to use, then? While testing it, I kept flipping back and forth between thinking "this is so cool!" and "this is crazy, nobody wants to browse like this".

@kensanata Hey, thanks for getting in touch, I appreciate you asking about this instead of just going ahead and doing it. I am pleasantly surprised that somebody has been so quick to hack it!

I think I will set up my own account under this name and create a repo for VF-1, you can then submit a pull request and I will happily look at it. I will let you know when I have done this.

@elomatreb I'm still choosing to pretend they don't exist.

@gunnarfrost Really enjoying your phlog. 👍

@tomasino *bites knuckles*

@webmind Did it come with DDR glass from Jena? Or something more generic?

@cev Really enjoyed this show, good work!

@lain Assuming you're talking about making it possible (and hopefully easy) for users to delete their own account, then bless you - this is a *sorely* underimplemented feature on the modern web.

@moonman Apparently he made a cameo in User Friendly, too: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/

Goodness, visiting acme.com and userfriendly.org in the same night, starting to feel like I've gone back in time 10 years...

Zilog, 197X: "Guess we have to come up with our own assembly mnemonics for legal reasons. I know! What if we made parentheses *almost* have a consistent and straightforward interpretation but then every now and then we just fucking threw them in anyway to keep people on their toes?".

@moonman I literally only know of him from his appearance at the bottom of the thttpd webpage. Or one of those small severs from acme.com, anyway, I may be forgetting exactly which one...

Happy 100th Independence Day, Finland!

@calvin Hot damn! That works on both NetBSD and Debian and is far more convenient than switching to a browser. Thanks very much!

@zyabin101 Yikes, thanks for the additional warning.

When you Google "ASCII table" the first result is asciitable.com, but that is actually a terrible website. The table is just a big .gif so you can't search it, or copy and paste. On the off chance that anybody reading this has linked to it anything they've written, please consider linking somewhere else. ascii.cl seems alright?
