What sysadmin website did I visit?

April 14, 2004 11:56 AM

Several months ago I visited a website that had a green text only interface. It was sysadmin related with stories of troublesome users and a quote engine. I thought it was mentioned here on MeFi, but the site-specific Google search isn't coming up with any relevant matches. Did I just dream the website or could someone please point the way? I promise to properly bookmark it this time.

For what it's worth, you're not crazy and didn't dream it. I know what website you're talking about, but didn't bother to save a link to it (didn't interest me much). I thought it might be a Userfriendly LOTD, but a search there turns up nothing either. If it helps, the interface was structured like a Unix command line (ls to see the categories, etc).

Hmmmm, so they are. The site I'm thinking of was monospaced and had a text menu interface to get around. Even offered a faux command line I believe.

I remember running across this on Slashdot.
