+Title: A new start
+Date: 07/27/2020 20:14
+
+It was July 24th when I first read about the Gemini protocol. Someone posted
+an article titled "Implement a Gemini Protocol Client Using Network.framework"
+and my RSS feed reader dutifuly picked up on it. I'm not entirely sure why
+I felt drawn to build things immediatly but for whatever reason I did. I
+think I've written about 600 lines of Python just building silly things to
+stick on my Gemini capsule here, created two bespoke Docker containers and
+am most of the way done building some bespoke hardware to put online.
+
+=> https://shadowfacts.net/2020/gemini-network-framework/
+
+## So what are my intentions?
+
+Well I'm still building things here before I think I can settle into just
+posting things, but this already feels like a place where I can be a lot
+more blunt than on my web site. The web site is pretty filtered, mostly
+opinion-free technical content because when I left social media in the late
+2000s I made the effort to keep the signal to 'noise' ratio of my personal
+web site as low as possible. It turns out though that I have opinions, and
+I sometimes feel like sharing them. I feel like I may be able to do that
+here.
+
+I have a few more things I want to do with the site generator. Right now
+I write these posts using nvi and then a git post-receive hook runs a
+Python script that renders them into the .gmi files, the index and the
+atom feed. The original files have some YAML metadata at the top and thanks
+to my editor settings and muscle memory are generally wrapped manually around
+column 79. Obviously the hand wrapping isn't compatible with the gemini
+markup so one of the TODO items is to fix that.
+

+
+There are also a few bugs with the HTML stripping in my Thoughts renderer
+so I need to screw around with that some more too.
+
+=> /thoughts/
+
+## And?
+
+So with the short ramble out of the way I'm going to commit this to my git
+repository and then probably fix the several bugs in the rendering scripts
+before it makes its way out into the world but I have to say I am honestly
+looking forward to making more things for this little space.
