========================================

Been meaning to respond to phlog posts by others on gopher but I always get
distracted and forget and then move on to new posts and repeat.

I was happy to see Lambda Lab's excitement[0] about Sixel graphics and that some
code is being written as a result.  I had originally planned to build my gopher
hole with optional inline sixel graphics (didn't quite decide how I was going to
implement that option) but since most gopher clients don't display them well, I
decided it wasn't worth the effort.

I panicked when Tomasino announced[1] that gopher.black and moku-pona would be
offline while moving to Iceland.  It's been my homepage to gopher since I
discovered it and was one of the couple of gopher holes I found one monumental
day (and all the spaces linked there-in) that pulled me all the way into gopher.
It was a relief to see the update that gopher.black would remain up during the
move after all.  Good luck with the move!  That's big.

LGR stole my bit and did a couple videos[2] about a dot matrix printer.

A lot of talk about gopher and how it should be.  I'm staying out of those
discussions for now.  I'm new here and want to get to know gopher before I
consider if/how to change it.

I love retro-computers and liked seeing edd post[3] about his Amstrad NC100.  I
want one!  Or an NC200.  I got something else I didn't need instead.  Post to
follow once it arrives.
