Hello again. I'm writing again so soon because I want to cover

	Hello again. I'm writing again so soon because I want to cover
	more stuff queued up and I didn't want to make the post too
	rambling and without focus. So instead, we have two rambling,
	unfocused posts. This one is fun because instead of banging it out
	on the ol' dumb terminal, I'm going to try a mobile tack using a
	tablet and keyboard. If I like it I may get a nice compact,
	travel-friendly keyboard. Right now I'm using a full size Macally
	bluetooth keyboard I used on my old Macbook a decade or so ago,
	when I was wooed by Apple to try an x86(-64) device that could
	triple boot OSes. It certainly was entertaining, but I digress.

	snowdusk asked on Mastodon what URI schemes exist besides http,
	ftp, etc [1]. In response I replied with a link to IANA's list
	[2], which will be provided for your perusal below. This triggered
	a memory regarding one or more phlog posts regarding itemtypes and
	accomodating new items to link. I don't recall who exactly said
	what, but my vague recollection involved considering adding a new
	itemtype for ssh since telnet isn't the current preferred means
	for remote terminal sessions. Some point later I realized we have
	the means already available to us via the h itemtype and providing
	the appropriate URI. I think I've even seen it on bitreich too.
	This ties into another post in the works on maybe a gophers URI. I
	need to make some digital room to work on it and hopefully I can
	say something meaningful there. Hrm, now that I've mentioned it I
	should jot down some refresher notes before I forget or go
	spinning in circles whenever a random neuron fires...

	A couple nights ago cat played a Perturbator song on openmic. I
	really like Per turbator, and I thought I'd share an experience.
	Ever been in a situation that' s fairly mundane and yet there's a
	sensation of a sum that's greater than the to tal of its parts?
	This is one of those. I recall heading down south for a friend's
	wedding listening to the Dangerous Days album. The sun's down for
	a little while now and it's no longer dusk. I'm passing by Long
	Beach/Torrance, a bit after having a QSO on 2m simplex with
	someone in Redondo Beach, and the first track plays about a minute
	before the refineries come into view. Traffic is fairly light, so
	everything is going smoothly. As I make my way further south, the
	synth sounds fill the cabin, pulsing in time with the obstruction
	lights on the refinery towers and later the San Onofre NGS, as if
	the mezmerizing beacons are speaking. The industrial growls sound
	like a distant foghorn and you swear the orange street lighting is
	shimmering in the fog on crescendo. Despite the dark tone, all I
	feel is peace. Why is it that I connect more meaningfully to music
	on the open road? Is it the siren's promise of freedom that
	enchants me, or is it the relative lack of distractions that
	allows me to meditate?

	Finally, despite me procrastinating writing a post about my
	insanity regarding telephony, I would like to hear some
	experiences and recommendations. I'm pensive about getting a
	landline if there is an acceptable SIP provider that can offer
	similar service for less. Has anyone had success with connecting
	modems over VoIP at substantial baudrates? I tried beforehand and
	2400 baud was doable but fairly flakey.

	Before I wrap this up, I do apologize for the jilted nature of
	these posts. Covering stuff before I overwrite it with the next
	spontaneous musing is getting pretty challenging. I suppose if I
	or others are interested in a particular topic I can revisit, but
	for now it's going to be like a greatest hits album: jarring
	transitions between tracks.
