A month on the command line -- Day 2: Blogging disappointment
While I did get my flash drive mounted without difficulty, I spent considerable time trying to post to this Movable Type-powered blog with Lynx and Elinks. Both let me do everything, except actually SAVING the entry. I've had similar trouble with the Dillo browser, and that's a full-fledged X application, so there's something squirrely about the Save button in Movabble type.
But for general browsing of Web sites, including this blog, the text-only browsers are more than adequate -- and quite sophisticated in what they can do.
I did get a few entries through as tests, and I think it was Elinks that produced them. I hit something, somewhere that enabled the posts to save, but I couldn't replicate my actions for the real blog post, which sits on the hard drive on my Debian box, awaiting the beginning of the week ahead.

About this blog
New ways to sign in to comment: I just added the ability for prospective commenters on this blog to sign in using their AOL, Yahoo! and Wordpress.com accounts (for the past 200 posts anyway ... more than that will take an extensive, middle-of-the-night rebuild). That's in addition to the other sign-in choices, which include starting a Movable Type account on this blog, Typekey, OpenID, Live Journal and Vox. If you have trouble getting your Movable Type account verified, or any of the other sign-in options are not working properly, please e-mail me. With these added ways of signing in, there's more reason than ever for you to make a comment (or several!).
