Debu.gs: Try Inferno without Installing It

The thing I said here is actually a really real thing. Inferno’s usually easy enough to get up and running. There’s some mkfile tweaking, sometimes there are some platform-specific bugs, you’ll have to adjust your path, etc. It can be a bother. It’s definitely worth it, but you can’t tell that until you go through the effort. Downloads that take three minutes are annoying to people nowadays, and this is 10 minutes of tinkering and compiling. I mean, a friend of mine had to harass me repeatedly for me to get Go installed, so I understand your pain.

You’ll need a VNC viewer. There are lots of those, all over the earth and with no monetary cost to you. There are free VNC viewers for very nearly every platform. Even “mobile” devices have clients: my phone has one, iOS has free clients, Android has free clients. (You’ll probably be hurting inside Acme without a three-button mouse on those OSs, though.)

Well, you don’t need to install one. Websockets and canvas tags. You can run it in the browser now by visiting tryinferno.reverso.be. There are more details in another entry.
