gophertility: inspiration by simplicity

  _.. or some barely related short thoughts_

  It is certainly thanks to Gopher that I have been writing more often
  recently! Somehow this community is much more inspiring than anything
  web-related I have tried -- maybe except for Literotica, but no steamy
  talk here, m'kay?

  I am happy to see continued growth here. Recently, I discovered new
  kids on the block [1]jebug29's and [2]auzymoto's. So many different but
  thoughtful people out there -- thanks for sharing your stories,
  viewpoints and ideas!

  User tomasino is playing with some [3]formatting ideas for texts, in
  short: begin a new line for every sentence, sometimes also for partial
  sentences.

  Funny: while reading his text which is formatted accordingly, I thought
  "hey, looks like a poem" about two lines before he observed just that
  as well!

  I am mostly following these rules as well, for three reasons: it's
  indeed useful with line-based diffing tools (like in git), it's easy on
  my eyes, but in addition good for working in [4]ed, which happens to be
  my secret lover among the editors (while I'm married to vi, ed's
  younger sister).

  As my plog suite currently creates the text/gopher version of my plog
  entries from the HTML version (using lynx), which in turn is generated
  from the markdown source, the line structure of the latter is not
  visible in the published version. So you just have to believe me. The
  markdown source might actually be better for consumption via Gopher
  than the formatted HTML, but I currently don't have time to modify my
  plog suite accordingly.

  So I am more than fine with this way of formatting: go ahead, tomasino!

  I'm still thinking about the idea of automatics syncing of
  gopherspaces, but other than looking into [5]IPFS and
  [6]camlistore/perkeep, I did not find the time to advance in any way.
  Fortunately SDF again runs smoothly, as far as I can tell.
