-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Most of the content living on the Gemini protocol is related to Gemini itself. It's to be expected, being so new and the early adopters being authors involved in server, client, and protocol creation. Still, much in the same way that Gopher grows stale from talking about itself, I worry for Gemini. The healthiest way I can fight that is by talking about other things.
Specifically what I want to talk about here is solderpunk's Remote Outdoor Off-Grid Phlogging Challenge (ROOPHLOCH). You can read about it on gopher here:
ROOPHLOCH announcement (Gopher)
(Do gopher links work from gemini? I guess it's up to the client.)
In short, it's about getting outside and untethered and journaling from there. I'm excited about it. I have a mountain in the back yard that's yet untapped. I need to put air in my bike tires and go exploring. Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow and do a mini write-up via my phone. If nothing else, this should get me moving on things I've already been planning.
