10 Daily Things

Web Console is a web-based application that allows remote users to execute UNIX/Windows shell commands on a server, upload/download files to/from server, edit text files directly on a server and much more. The application is represented as a web page that accepts user input such as a command, executes that command on a remote web server, and shows command output in a browser. As well, simple and functional file manager build-in into the application.

Web Console is open-source software written on Perl using AJAX technology. The application is very light, does not require any database, and can be uploaded, configured and ready to use in about 10 minutes (no need server administrator permissions for installation).

Here is an illustration of how Web Console works:

The pneumatic experts at Festo have taken a big step towards making the most real-life racing game experience, and the extent of on-road feel of their new contraption looks very impressive. Festo uses Fluidic Muscles and mechatronic systems to give users a true sensation of either driving or flying, depending on the software being used. It’s really more of an industrial simulator than a game, and we’re pretty sure it costs a bit more than a Playstation 3. Either way, we’ll need to come up with a business case to AOL for buying one for the Autoblog team.
