"Today" isn't really the best time scale for me to use; I'm only a hobbyist. Today, I'm not doing anything other than mulling things over in the background while I'm at work. That said, the thing that I'm mulling over is writing a text based web browser.

To do that, I need to get a better understanding of how browsers work in general, so I have started reading these articles:

This is probably too big of a task for me to take on, but it seems interesting. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll end up with something that'll work on hubski. My browser of choice barfs all over the place:

That's an ambitious but really cool hobby project. If you need inspiration I recommend checking out lynx or w3m if you want a more modern take on it.

I'm definitely interested in seeing your progress!
