Mateusz Loskot :: hacking on, working out, living up

goosh.org is a new Web-based tool that has been warming up the wires for last hours. The idea is really cool, though it does not work in text lynx-like browsers, as one would expect.

Hmm, looks like the next (and obvious) step is to implement GDAL utilities plugin for goosh, so everyone can run:

guest@goosh.org:/gdal/> ogrinfo -ro PG:'host=gdal.org user=root dbname=cool'

Layer name: streets
   Geometry: Line String
   Feature Count: 13
   Extent: (-87.634943, 24.543945) - (-80.031369, 31.000975)
   Layer SRS WKT:
   GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
      DATUM["WGS_1984",
      SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],
      PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
      UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]
...
guest@goosh.org:/gdal/>

What about ~~hackers~~/crackers? Don’t worry! This time, lucky works for Google:

I tried “rm -rf /”, but Google is still up.

Update: Stupid me! I really should not use the term hacker inappropriately above.
