HN user paddy_m reimplemented RXVT in JS:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=852573" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=852573</a><p><a href="http://github.com/paddymul/rxvt-js" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/paddymul/rxvt-js</a><p>HTML and not Canvas, so cut-and-paste works.
Slightly OT, but I'd like to see a similar looking "box" where I can push a text output from a server (long polled). For example to push a tail on a log or something like that. I was kind of looking for that the other day, but to no avail - it's not a priority though, so I'll write it if I can't find one (I have little to no experience with "comet").
There's a live stream of BGP updates that are published by a university server.<p><a href="http://bgpmon.netsec.colostate.edu/index.php/live-data" rel="nofollow">http://bgpmon.netsec.colostate.edu/index.php/live-data</a><p>You can also telnet to some CISCO routers and access their routing tables.
Host: route-views.routeviews.org
Port: 23<p>Follow instructions. It looks like it doesn't work well. Either characters are scrambled, or the echoed characters are capitalised (it shouldn't be).
I bet you could play Dwarf Fortress over this. I'm not being facetious: on windows, using msys/mingw or cygwin term, the game looks terrible: not all the characters render and the font choices are limited and uniformly inadequate. If this thing's fonts are better or it's terminal emulation a better match for DF's idiocincracies... Even if not, I'd rather hack on a javascript program to make it work well for that than try to figure out xterm's code.
