I hecked up! I said that my next file / _/ / /
wouldn't be about drugs and it was, at least \_______/_\___/____/\___/____/_
in part. My bad hahaha. Let me try and keep / \/ \/ / \
the ball rolling then. / _/ /_ _/
/- / _/ /
I'm not doing anything interesting with \________/\________/\___/____/
my life really, trundling along on autopilot
for a while, too scattered for big stuff and too lazy for small stuff.
Other people, however, are doing lots of interesting stuff.
A quick aside before we get started; I just wanted to reach out to Kvothe
should he still be around gopherspace; I'm sad to see you go, your phlog will
definitely be missed but I hope all is well. <3
I wanted to call out the Project Gemini[1] stuff. Now I'm still not
convinced of the need for it, but that's my personal opinion and doesn't
diminish how much work they're putting into it and it's a fascinating project.
A lot of people come in to this space trying to "fix" or reinvent Gopher but
almost none put shoulder to wheel and build something, let alone something
from the ground up.
It's fascinating to see it coming together.
Continuing around the grounds, fosslinux did an excellent phlog post[2] on
picking apart and bypassing his school proxy, pretty cool!
The two below are as much for my memory as your enjoyment, so I don't
forget to circle back on them later:
- tomasino has started a zine![3] Submissions are due by the end of
August so get on it. The keyword is "HAMMER" and I have a couple
ideas, stay tuned.
- solene wrote on streaming to Twitch from BSD[4] and I've been
trying to get some kind of Twitch presence going. Currently I'm
doing it from my Mac but I have a second laptop that I'd like to
use instead, this guide should help a lot.
Phew, that's a lot, but one last thing I wanted to highlight for y'all is
the baffling but surprisingly engaging new "stoned phlogs" popping up on
tilde.black. brool[5] is a cryptic, rambling stream of consciousness
phlog/ASCII art doodle pad while smore[6] is an extensive, fascinating list of
half-formed ideas and concepts.
~black is growing into a pretty interesting place, I'm curious to see what
else comes of it.
That's only the tip of the iceberg, seems like there's a lot going on in
the phlogosphere lately, so much to read, get to it!
