| Hello again friend, fellow gophernaut. | |
| I've had my head in the proveribal sand recently, and haven't been | |
| around aside from an occasional browse on gopher. In fact, I | |
| almost missed ROOPHLOC 2019. | |
| Fear not, for here is my entry. Please excuse the terseness -- | |
| that will be explained below. | |
| I'm posting this from my backyard, mostly because I just read | |
| about this and didn't had time to implement a solution and find a | |
| nice remote place to post. I'm sending this via packet radio to a | |
| local Winlink node through a digipeater. 1200 baud with a simplex | |
| repeater is mighty slow. This post is composed and sent on my | |
| laptop using pat, then to a TH-D72 HT with a semi-portable quarter | |
| wave ground plane antenna made from an SO-239 connector with 14awg | |
| wire soldered to it. Simple, but effective. Then it goes to an | |
| email address checked by a raspberry pi with fetchmail, filters | |
| out the attachment (easier than stripping metadata and allows me | |
| to dictate filenames), then rsyncs to the zaibatsu via cron job. | |
| Something bashed out in a couple hours. Bonus is that I can now | |
| send posts using the equipment I already have in my EDC bag except | |
| for the ground plane (I could use my roll up slim jim with some | |
| paracord to hang it if I wanted to keep it all in a bag). | |
| It's a beautiful day today, with mild temperatures and a light | |
| breeze. I'm enjoying listening to the birds and owls. I think I | |
| shall go for a bike ride. | |
