MY GOPHER SITE |

|
|
ipretty awesome. Once a week ~bradley sends out a message and invites |
|
|
|
ieveryone to go and do some challenge each week. |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
iThis way I found the following message in my ~ mail this week: |

i Dear ~club: |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
i I saw that many of you made (or are even currently making) it snow on your |
|
|
|
i pages. Well done. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it happen, |
|
|
|
i being that I approach CSS in much the same way a ferret approaches a game of |
|
|
|
i shuffleboard---that is, incoherently and more or less according to |
|
|
|
i chance---but at the last moment I managed to find a post online that was |
|
|
|
i simple enough for me to understand. The results are about as bad as expected |
|
|
|
i (complete illegibility), but alas, it's only exactly what I asked for. I doubt |
|
|
|
i it will last through the week on my page. |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
i Well, ~club, here we are. The year of middle-distance predictions is upon us. |
|
|
|
i How many of us will turn out to have been wrong about what we thought we'd be |
|
|
|
i doing with ourselves in 2020? I remember reading an article in a magazine |
|
|
|
i about 15 years ago that claimed we'd all be rid of cables by now because |
|
|
|
i long-distance wireless charging would be ubiquitous. This and similar drivel |
|
|
|
i will fall to the slowly-advancing bulldozer blade of time this year. A shame, |
|
|
|
i really, since the only thing 2020 did wrong was be a round number for |
|
|
|
i futurists to pluck out of the timeline |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
i But! It's not all bad. New years mean new opportunities for learning, growing, |
|
|
|
i and all that stuff you learned on PBS. This week, I propose that we look |
|
|
|
i forward into the new year by pulling something out from the past and taking it |
|
|
|
i with us. |
|
|
|
i |

|
|
i I'm not familiar with gopher, but some light reading has revealed that it's |
|
|
|
i a way of organizing information on the Internet that sort of got its lunch |
|
|
|
i eaten by the Web. Many of you have more grey in your beards than me (visible |
|
|
|
i or not) and know first-hand what gopher is like. In any case, ~club, your task |
|
|
|
i this week is to do something with your gopher space here on tilde.club. |
|
|
|
i A "hello world" will suffice, but I encourage you to do what you can to make |
|
|
|
i it interesting. When you do, be sure to post it here so we can all check it |
|
|
|
i out! |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
i Since I don't personally know much about gopher, I haven't even checked to see |
|
|
|
i if anyone is using it on this server. I haven't seen anyone mention it, but |
|
|
|
i that doesn't necessarily mean anything. If you've already got something going |
|
|
|
i over there, great! I'll see you there. If not, then I encourage you to take |
|
|
|
i this small step with me. |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
i To the gopherhole! |

iWhile I was already working on my own gopher site, I had also already |
|
|
|
ibroken it again so I took it upon myself to do the following: |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
i1. Get my gopher site fixed. |
|
|
|
i2. Make sure it mirrors my http ~ |
|
|
|
i3. Get a cool logo |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
iSo since I wasn't able to get spaces to work properly in a linking line, |
|
|
|
iI just gone and s/ /./g'ed on the logo. It doesn't look as good as |
|
|
|
iwith the spaces, but this works. |
|
|
|
i |
|
|
|
iGo check the gophersite out: gopher://tilde.club/1/~steph |
