Little updates | |

---------------------------------------- | |
I don't have a whole lot of cohesive stuff to say today, but | |
I felt the need to phlog anyway. Here's some quick hits: | |
- Welcome back Yin Feng. Love reading your gopher content and I'm | |
glad you're phlogging again. Your background randomly overlaps | |
with mine in a lot of ways, just like folks were talking about | |
recently with regard to mechanical watches and so on. I was | |
a Jesuit before leaving religious life, and I also have a lot of | |
background with Buddhism. Keep it coming. | |
- Speaking of random overlapping interests, I have 4 fountain | |
pens, two mechanical watches, a sextant, abacus, slide rule, | |
japanese sharpening stones, spinning wheel, and the list goes | |
on. Old and ancient technology is my aesthetic, as the saying | |
goes. I'm going to try to give more effort to sharing notes in | |
my Explorations [0] section on these topics. | |
- I mentioned that @[email protected] sent me an SGI Indigo2 | |
the other day. It arrived and it's amazing. I have some adaptors | |
and things on the way, and I managed to find an original owners | |
manual. I'll be writing about my efforts to get that up and | |
running again in the Explorations section as well. | |
- Tonight I play D&D (Pathfinder). I went years and years with no | |
gaming and it was awful. Tabletop RPGs are my #1 favorite group | |
activity and I'm so thrilled to be back in the swing. We don't | |
play much, and it's online over Discord, but it's something. | |
What I would give to find a local group into Fate. | |
- I noticed Lynx doesn't support the + item type for gophermaps. | |
I emailed the dev mailing list and they have put it on their | |
to-do list to add in the future. I know a lot of gopher people | |
are writing their own clients as well. I hope they'll share. | |
