goosh, the Unofficial Google Shell

Posted by kdawson on from the land-a-gooshen dept.

ohxten writes "Stefan Grothkopp has come up with a pretty neat tool called goosh. It's essentially a browser-oriented, shell-like interface that allows you to quickly search Google (and images and news) and Wikipedia and get information in a text-only format. This is quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a good while."

    Okay, I use Kubuntu 8.05,Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5 with:
    Adblock +, and filterset, Noscript, and flashblock in Firefox3.
    Why can I not view replies to 'messages'? all I get is a blank page. Everything else on /. works...WTF?
    I have tried enabling /. in 'noscript', and have excepted /. from noscript and ad block, but still cannot read my messages...WTF?!!!
    It is frustrating because the ONLY thing I cannot do is read my messages! (thus reply in a timely fashion!)

    I now have to resort to crawling in on my knees and ask of the /. community's knowledge and wisdom as to WTF????
    How can I fix this?
    I did not have this problem with Kubuntu Fiesty and FireFox ver.2xxx, but definitely have this constantly now.
