...it's kind of pretentiously abstract, isn't it?

## About

Howdy, geminaut!  You've reached the capsule of some kind of:

* Middle-aged man discovering a love of nature and the outdoors after shrugging off his youthful love of, obsession with, faith in technological progress in general and computing in particular
* Gloomy, hairshirt, eco-doom preacher of sustainability and degrowth (my younger self never saw it coming)
* Astronomy, cycling, photography, and radio enthusiast (fun without computers!)
* Electronic music, jazz, Krautrock, spacerock and psychedelic rock afficionado
* Decentralised, pro-privacy, non-commercial internet activist (nearly burnt out)
* Offline-first, permacomputing, and salvage computing theorist and practitioner (cautiously)
* Founder of circumlunar.space and admin of the Mare Tranquilitatis People's Circumlunar Zaibatsu
* Gemini protocol BDFL

## Gemlogs (Gemini logs)

Serial stuff.  Subscribable and updated somewhat frequently, but not necessarily topical.  In fact, my gemlog regularly receives "unprovoked essay" content, which has a long shelf life.

=> gemlog/	My gemlog - verbose ramblings
=> pikkulog/	My "pikkulog" - shorter and less focussed

## Original content

Evergreen content created for Geminispace by me.

### Earth worship

=> whole-earth-gallery/		Whole Earth Gallery
=> whole-earth-land-use/	Whole Earth Land Use
=> whole-earth-terminal/	Whole Earth Terminal

### Technical / HOWTO

=> coming-soon.gmi	Bike hacking notes
=> radio/		Radio hacking notes

### Miscellaneous

=> books.gmi	Books I've read
=> cds.gmi	CDs I own
=> naturelog/	My lo-fi nature log
=> photos/	Some photos I've taken

## Rehosted content

Content that I've imported into Geminispace from elsewhere, either stuff that is CC or similarly licensed which allows for it, or else rather old stuff of limited commercial but substantial cultural and/or historical value, which justifies rehosting for the sake of preservation.

=> cia-world-factbook/	The CIA World Factbook
=> dtack-grounded/	DTACK GROUNDED, The Journal of Simple 68000 Systems
=> legasov-tapes/	The Legasov Tapes
=> schaft-enterprises/	Schaft Enterprises, a Patlabor fan capsule (patlabor.info resurrection)
=> viridian-gems/	Viridian Gems (Viridian Green mailing list archive)

## Community content

I like to organise recurring events for the Smolnet community.

=> offlfirsoch/	OFFLFIRSOCH
=> roophloch/	ROOPHLOCH (Gemini-inclusive since 2023!)

## Free software

Itty bitty hippie tech, from the hairshirt emporium.

=> software/	My Gemini, Gopher, and sane-web software projects

## Contact / other online presences

* Email: solderpunk@posteo.net
* XMPP: solderpunk@xmpp.circumlunar.space
