Cygwin 

Cygwin is a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. How awesome is that? Its like having a linux minime terminal to play with on your windows box. If youre curious about how the terminal runs and the wonderful things it does and you don't want to set up a dual boot system or if you just want to play around with a neo Linux terminal toy then Cygwin is for you.

a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent,  released x86 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, starting with Windows XP SP3. I'm running it on my favorite Windowz version right now. Thats Windowz Se7en in case you're wondering. Its the best Windowz OS in my opinion. I will rephrase that and write its the best Windowz OS for me. I say that because there is no such thing as actual best. The best operating system is the one you know and has the most use for you. I used to think Windowz 98 was the best and I disliked WinXP. Only because I didn't know WinXP all that well and when I did get to know it, that became my favorite best.

Woweee sidetracked. Cygwin Cygwin Cygwin Cygwin project is https://cygwin.com/  A full installation at the time I wrote this is probably larger than 1 GB installed, not including the package archives themselves nor the source code.

Cygwin User's Guide at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html and an API Reference at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html. The individual GNU tools at http://www.fsf.org/manual/. 

(You should read GNU manuals from a local mirror, check http://www.fsf.org/server/list-mirrors.html for a list of them.)

Its really very awesome once you get it up and running. If I ever need a Linux Terminal quick fix I always use Cygwin to get my fill.  Here is the packages that you can use with Cygwin.

I used SSH in Cygwin. I was surfing the interweb and came across some free shell servers on this website. http://www.openshells.net/ I thought I want a free shell to play with. I tried to telnet into the SSH server but that doesn't work so I remembered I had Cygwin installed Yipeee! It didn't go how I wanted it to because sometimes that happens.

Cygwin~  <-- this is not at all based on reality. I replaced the terminal name. I was having login issues, lo and behold my retardation is up next:

Greetings and salutations. Just in case you like reading this stuff and because I felt the need to add to the last blog posting....Introducing:

HTML5, like I wrote in the previous posting in my opinion is awesome. Its a core technology markup language of the WWW consortium. HTML5 is the fifth revision of the HTML standard.

Vannevar Bush first proposed the basics of hypertext in 1945

Tim Berners-Lee invents the Web with HTML as its publishing language. - 1989

The earliest HTML document on the WWW dates - Tue, 13 Nov 1990 

HTML - 1990

HTML Tags - 1991

HTML DTD 1.1 - 1992

HTML draft - 1993

HTML 2.0 - 1994

HTML 3.2 - 1997

HTML 4.0 - 1998

HTML5 - 2008 [full specification - 2014] 

HTML5 isn't slated to become a standard until at least 2022

HTML5 includes new mark-up elements to improve structure:

<article> Designed for external content like a blog, forum, or any other content from an external source.

<header> Can be used as an introduction of a document or section.

<nav> Designed for a section of navigation.

<section> Designed for a section in a document like chapters, headers, footers, or any other sections of the document.

Some of HTML5 new media elements:

<audio> Used for multimedia content, such as sound, music or audio streams.

<video> Used for video content, such as a movie clips or video streams.

A lot of people are saying Flash vs HTML5 what is better? I say HTML5 + Flash = Awesome websites

Flash uses ActionScript, which is an object-oriented programming language that is a cross platform technology for creating and manipulating graphics. It is used for animation, video and interactivity.  Flash has been around for years and was originally released by Macromedia and later purchased by Adobe.

That concludes another fun filled BL0G posting. Until next time. If you want to learn more about me Im currently building a WordPress website.

Almost Bl0G ZeR0 Se7EN

Its been alooong while since Ive written anything. So here it goes yet another Bl0G thing. I constructed a Website in HTML5 for fun and entertainment purposes. Some people knit sweaters or watch T.V. to kill time.  Thought I'd mention that so you wouldn't be thinking I was perfecting my straight jacket escape skills all this time.

Here is the link check it out:

http://filesharez.co.nf/   <--If you want to learn about FileShare click on that link. [I don't have to write a Bl0G about it seems how I made a whole Website.] PSA: "Drugs are bad! mmmkay? So is FileShare! mmmkay?"

I like HTML5 a whole lot. Almost as much as Flash. Its the best for constructing Websites in my opinion.  I'm currently playing around with WordPress. I be making a portfolio / about me thing with it. You can check that out as well.

WordPress has its uses besides being just for BL0GZ. Its easy to use and you don't have to learn how to code in PHP to use it. Hooorah! I used to hate PHP and now I don't think its all that bad anymore. Thanks to WordPress. It was one of those "knock it till I tried it" things. ha! So this BL0G is more like a shameless plug for the stuff I've been doing. I'm going to have to change the name to "Almost BL0G! 07"

This has been one of my laziest writing adventures in my opinion.  Oh well I say! :) So I will leave who ever is reading this with a quote.

"If life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party"
