Chiefy for the www.f0bia.org !!!

I’m browsing through hundreds of web sites every day, and it’s been a while since I saw something that struck me as original. f0bia did it for me. With dark background, blinking cursor, and keyboard navigation it closely resembles UNIX command line. Yet it’s not just a show off, but a real blog with posts, search, RSS feeds, links, pictures, etc.

Well done!

Update: for those of you interested in technical details, the blog seems to be running WordPress and WordPress CLI theme.

    hazard,

    remember that this is a web site, not a linux shell :)

    from the description of wordpress-cli:

    Eventually the theme will develop the functionality of a full-fledged shell. Or not, maybe it will just remain groovy and impractical.

    This looks great! Not to sure how it would go on a usability test though. Of course, only geeks would be interested in reading the content anyway…..

    David,

    yeah, the site is for geeks anyway.

    And adding to the usability issue, is something most web people are sensitive about today - SEO. :)

    that’s REALLY great!
    I played with cd, back, help and other simple commands (remember that I’m a stupid user) but when I typed hello and it answered me “hello to you too” i understood - it’s my boy :))
    very lovely and gives us, stupid users, an impression that we can type some commands too :))

    Lana,

    try “last” for the last blog entry, “prev” for the previous blog entry (repeat a few times), and “grep something” to search for “something in all posts…
