JS/UIX

I like UNIX. I like Javascript. But for some reason, JS/UIX scares the bejeesus out of me.

JS/UIX is an UN*X-like OS for standard web-browsers, written entirely in JavaScript (no plug-ins used). It comprises a vir- tual machine, shell, virtual file-system, process-management, and brings its own terminal with screen- and keyboard-mapping.

When you try this page out, keep in mind, you’re not connecting to a UNIX box, he’s reimplmented UNIX in Javascript. I don’t know what good it might do, and it’s cool, but… Woah.

Things like that make me feel like I'm not even trying...

I admire people doing things that other people will not and did not think of but, seriously. Some of this things are just a waste of time. I wish I had time to just fart around for a year making this thing using this piece of code or this piece of junk I found in my closet.

Does anyone reading this post have this kind of time on their hands? If so I have a crap load of stuff I need done, some fun some not.

The only reason I can see making this particular project was for an awesome entry on your resume or for a client. People pay artist to make weird works of art, why should weird or eccentric software be different?

Um yup.... i does what??? Anyway when I type into I i feel like am typing in DOS again, only I can't break my computer... yay! go ULINFDW or wotever it was called. I also feel like i am in an old fashioned movie with computers, when an actor guy types in a load of rubbish and up comes a picture...usualy of a criminal, how strange! Its cool, but I betchya I could do the same thing in flash but it would only take me a whole of an hour and it would probably do just about the same thing as that does!
