wordpress-cli

I thought I should mention something about this awesome wordpress theme that seems to now work only on firefox. Why you can’t ‘telnet’ to other people’s blogs on other themes i’ll never understand.

It was originally written by Rod McFarland and hosted on google code but has recently been taken over by fogus and moved to github. There’s a very low volume email list on google groups. The general direction of the new improved cli is not yet clear.

Apart from the fact that it doesn’t work on many browsers (not sure if it’s just my installation but firefox 3 seems to be the only browser that allows the keyboard events to be correctly captured) and when it does work it makes leaving comments somewhat confusing, I think it is a marvelous invention. It predates goosh by a several years. I’m hoping that this is going to be a common feature of web 2.0+ as i’m fairly sick of needing to use the mouse to interact with web content.

Perhaps it just serves my unique purpose in acting as necessary discouragement from reading any further into the inanity that is my blog.
