Ever get tired of using a browser to view content on the web? Don’t you just miss that old lime green command prompt ? Wouldn’t it be cool if you could combine the two? It’s a “just for fun” project, but I wrote it so I could expand it easily with new commands.

Current commands include:

• time - shows current server time
• date - shows current server date
• ipconfig - shows your IP address
• 4 8 15 16 23 42 - extends the countdown to the end of the world to another 108 minutes
• ver - shows interpreter version
• cls - clears the screen
• help - shows command list
• google [keyword(s)] - Does a google search using Google API and displays results.

Upcoming commands:

• get [address] - shows the contents of a website
• webstats - shows interesting website statistics

It uses AJAX as you might have guessed, and since the requests are made independent of each other, the commands can be viewed as queued sequentially like in any other Linux/Unix shells, That means you can type in and send off a command and while you wait for a response from the server, you can send off your next commad before the previous one is even finished.

Stay tuned for more! :-p
