more brokenness

So now I've managed to end up with not only a broken httpd, but also broken browsers (both Netscape and Mozilla thanks to a little libstdc++ upgrade). So now I'm sitting here with a big transparent Eterm running w3m. I'm typing this post in vim, which is cool, but I really would prefer to get my nice little graphical browser back. Click for a little info about w3m...

w3m is a little like lynx, but much better. It supports tables well (Slashdot even looks good. Possibly better than it does with graphics), and supports mouse-clicks on links (lynx might do this as well... i can't remember). All in all it's a really nice little browser to have around.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
