It is rather obvious that I am not a faithful blogger. I’ve only posted a few times in the past year. I am often amazed at who reads my blog, but even more amazed at who links to my blog. Apparently “cerita” needed help with a browser in text mode (I think). “fatur” found an article I wrote to be helpful so he (she?) passed on a link to it to the forum. I have no idea what language this forum is in, but the site administrator is in Indonesia. Whatever the language, it seems there is a need for viewing images from a console.
I’m glad to help.
Then again, maybe that isn’t what fatur was posting. Maybe fatur was really saying, “Whatever you do, don’t do what this guy did!”
Either way, the interweb has made this world smaller. Much, much smaller.

So, you are still in this world! I haven’t checked in awhile. BTW, I’m posting this from Squeeze on the console-only.

I’m still here. I will be blogging more.
Eh? Squeeze? I thought you swore off Debian! :-)
Console only? As in no xorg, at all?

No, I still test parts of the Debian empire regularly, since I have two systems to work with. I started with Squeeze and no X at all, but after a few days, the flicker in this old monitor was more than I could tolerate. But I was on the console when I posted the above.
