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. | |
