Not much here yet, just some old files and odds and ends from an old gopher.
Why the Name? it's an old C:\\con\con thing is all ;)

I was toying with the idea of making up another Phlog here but I always
end up deleting all my posts anyway, though I do enjoy reading others.
I was reading through SolderPunks Phlogs and had to smile at some of the
posts there, things like the reason for Gopher, things between Gopher
and HTML, some of which I actually do, like writing HTML pages very much
like a gopher, something I might add that Rhett "Jonzy" Jones also still
does (Jughead creator). There are a ton of people out there who prefer
a "minimalist" type of web page. I remeber writing about how the web was
a flash filled, java laden nest of ads and BS that interupted the decent
flow of information and that is why Gopher was better, and that was over
20 years ago ;) Playing with wml and comparing byte size of identical
pages in HTML, WAP and Gopher. Also of interest was the entry about off
grid computing, for a while I ran an iPhone 1st Gen and an iPhone 3 as
web servers (Both Jailbroken) they used so little power! Remember the
web server ran off a potatoe??
Pubnix's are fun and I ran one for a long time too right out of the
house, starting with a 14.4 modem and ending up on DSL eventually,
before that was BBS's.
Ahh but times have changed and now it's harder and harder to browse with
My favorite web browser (Lynx) but I still do! And I still browse
Gopherspace ;)
Anyhow,
Happy Gophering!
