All I wanted was to update my old website because it (\__/)
was very outdated. THIS IS ALL I WANTED! Somehow I (*-* )
ended up in rabbit hole, or rather Gopher Hole. __/ \ /_\__
/ `__ Y Y \
You see, upgrading personal website was not enough. ( (= \(__/ )
It felt naturally to also have an Gemini Capsule as | ) \ \ /
very recently I created gmi100 [0] Gemini CLI client \_____/\____/
written in 100 lines of ANSI C. So I got myself and |(+) (
account on tilde.pink. But they also run Gopher. /"`'"\
This is actually very nice as I have now 3 layers of accessibility.
Website for normies, Gemini for geeks but still not that obscure like
my last deepest cave - the Gopher hole. Here I can write anything
without expectation that anyone will read it and this feel liberating.
Problem now is that I don't have a client for browsing Gopher space.
I know that there are many great open source projects and official web
proxy [1]. Still as a programmer capable of writing my own software I
feel obligated to do so. It's a curse, constant suffering. The days
when it was hard to have an idea for a project are gone and will never
come back. How did that happen? I was programming for many years yet
there always was and invisible unbreakable wall setting the limits of
my power. Now I have problem with procrastination by programming [2].
It's probably because I learned ANSI C. And by that I understood how
computers works. Now all I see are numbers. With that nothing feels
impossible anymore. Without limits I feel free but freedom is just
another cage.
Anyway. Universe decided that I have to write Gopher Client someday.
When I think about it I imagine that it will be yet another universal
browser for multiple protocols. We will see, but not now as I already
have ongoing project and plans for another right after. Don't expect
any Gopher clients just yet, unless I will procrastinate, sigh u__u

[2] Yes it is a thing. It's like regular procrastination but instead
of watching YouTube videos when you should work I secretly code my
own stuff for hours promising myself that this is the last line
that I will write but then another hour goes by, and another.
