Hey everyone - In some of my Perl blog reading, I came across an interesting technology called showterm. This is a wonderful hack on top of the "script" UNIX/Linux executable, which I had never heard of before. Once installed, the basic usage steps are:
1) type "showterm" 2) do whatever you want on the terminal; for example, type "pdl" and start an interactive shell 3) type "exit" from the terminal when you're done showterm will then *upload the results of "script" to a cloud server that can render everything in a browser using javascript*. The point of this is not that it does 1 million cool things. It does one thing extraordinarily well. Here's a simple example showing the most basic of PDL shell demos: http://showterm.io/d8db6184b52863423e37d Now, if somebody has a question, it is probably best to copy-and-paste a shell session into the email. However, now we can both copy and paste the shell session *and* give a link to replay it! David -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." -- Brian Kernighan
