Welcome!

Welcome to the Smoldering Wizard journal and gopherspace, a
hopefully cool and retro complement to my blog,
smolderingwizard.com, all about old-school RPGs. I'm a programmer
and sysadmin with an appreciation for plain text and the idea that
content wins out over looks. Gopher provides a clean, text-based way
of presenting information in a hierarchical format that is
low-bandwidth, fast, and simple. And let's face it, we play
old-school games, why not dabble in old-school network protocols?

If you're reading this, you are most likely using one of the public
gopher-to-web proxies (like the one linked from my blog), but know
that you can browse gopherspace natively in a text-based browser
like lynx, a modern web browser like Firefox with the overbite
plugin, or on a mobile device with overbite for Android. See
http://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite for more info and downloads.
