Surfraw - Shell Users' Revolutionary Front Rage Against the Web
by ycc2106
Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims google, altavista, babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html-forms, placing these wonders where they belong, deep in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell. Surfraw abstracts the browser away from input. Doing so lets it get on with what it's good at. Browsing. Interpretation of linguistic forms is handed back to the shell, which is what it, and human beings are good at. Combined with netscape-remote or incremental text browsers, such as lynx, links or w3m, along with screen a Surfraw liberateur is capable of navigating speeds that leave GUI tainted idolaters agape with fear and wonder.

Visualize Your SSH & FTP Behaviour on Datavisualization.ch
by karlcow
Every time that you login into your local Unix-like machine or a remote hosting server through a FTP client to upload a file or use SSH to get your stuff done, you’re leaving behind a trail of evidence showing your online behaviour: where and when you log in, how often and how long your online sessions are, in short: your modus operandi. This visualization tool unveils this hidden data, which is gathered by running a few builtin UNIX commands and is analyzed onsite.
