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. |
