Random thought of the day: | |
On kvothe's phlog index [1], the warning "The actual content is | |
guaranteed to be of dubious quality." I have similar appraisals of | |
my own work and I hope tob [2] would approve the creation of the | |
Dubious Gopher Committee. If asked I would gladly warm a seat in | |
said committee. | |
Tomasino [3] and Christy [4] are contemplating categorizing gopher | |
phlog entries for Burrow. In the phost, tomasino suggests tags as | |
a potential solution to this problem. I started out tagging my | |
entries and then omitted them because *effort*. I still think this | |
is a direction I will ultimately go, with tags linking to relevant | |
entries and whatnot. So today marks a return of tags, to be | |
completed in a future project. Once again, *effort*... | |
I think that I'm finally honing in on the style that I prefer. In | |
my previous entry [5], I dismissed the thought of providing a text | |
only entry due to the duplication of data. Looking at the problem | |
with a fresh set of eyes, I saw how obvious the solution was, and | |
will be offering a text only version [0] which should be | |
compatible with Gopher(tm) brand gopherowzers (and friends) with | |
long gophermaps. | |
My only question for you, dear reader, is whether you prefer the | |
text-only link at the bottom along with the others, or at the | |
top for immediate access for the afflicted gopher clients? | |
Stylistically I prefer it at the bottom in a single location, but | |
I do prefer function over form. Or am I catering to a tiny subset | |
of the gopher audience, myself included? | |
Today it will be at the bottom, but please let me know if you have | |
an opinion. | |
