Hello gophernauts, long time (again) | |
As always, been meaning to write up a little bit but never quite | |
squeaked out the time to do so. I've got a little bit of time this | |
week so I dusted off the ol' G3 to get my phlogging on. This will | |
also be the device I'm planning on using for the old computer | |
challenge this year, and also the G4 iBook when I have to be | |
portable. It's a pleasant enough machine to tool around on, but | |
I'm not quite convinced I enjoy it for phlogging as much as my old | |
box connected to a serial terminal. I think I prefer the focus | |
there, and the bigger characters are a bonus as well. | |
I've been reading The Undersea Network recently which has inspired | |
me to think about communication and networking again lately. So | |
far it's an interesting read that makes me think more about the | |
social and communal impacts of the network and our demands placed | |
upon them. Don't be alarmed if I start banging on about resilient | |
radio networks and the necessary changes for data and distance | |
that will require. It would be fantastic to meet enough people in | |
order to start creating a decentralized network here, but most | |
seem content with the status quo. Perhaps I should lower my | |
throughput and aim for longer distances instead. | |
Finally I'm trying to get my thoughts gathered regarding search | |
over the past few years. It's become a hotter issue now for | |
reasons you all are likely aware of, but this may be an | |
opportunity to try something new, if we are able to slow down for | |
a moment. | |
That's probably the core, isn't it? Lately I've been finding | |
myself in smaller and smaller spaces out of necessity and choice. | |
Perhaps that's how things always are, and hopefully something was | |
accomplished to ease movement of future travelers. | |
