omg cacti
So I reinstalled cacti (see also: http://archlich.dyndns.org/cacti-public/ ) and phpsysinfo (see also: http://archlich.dyndns.org/phpsysinfo. And, in a random whim, I changed the graph reading from bits to bytes on the traffic graphs (because bytes are more intuitive in general).
And I did this in opera, and then went to look at my handiwork, and got a HORRIBLE misrender job from it.
And, realizing that opera almost never misrenders things, I decided to take a look at what w3.org’s validator service had to say about it (see also: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://archlich.dyndns.org/cacti-public
Pretty bad. Lots of made-up attributes and malformed html. Not to mention no html header at all. And after poking around a bit, and re-styling a couple lines, I realized how much work it’d be to make it validate. And I bailed, ’cause I’m tired.
But before I bailed, I checked phpsysinfo too. And apparently it only misuses one thing: an attribute for “background”. Not sure where, but … a lot closer anyway.
I sure do wish that these things actually validated though, so I could use them in opera. *shrug*.
I mean … seriously …. it’s not that hard. WTF.
