Welcome to my gopherhole
august 20th, 2019
----------------------------------------
This is the first post on my new phlog. Some days ago I created my new
public gopher server. The installation of Gophernicus on my new virtual
server went pretty smooth.
I have to admit that I haven't used gopher for quite a while. The first
time I remember was me looking for drivers for a graphics card on my
OS/2 box back in 1995. Unfornunately, I can't remember the name of the
gopher client, but I recall that one of the servers belonged to
IBM. Those were the days!
Fast forward almost 25 years. The web has become a place of total
surveillance. After browsing gopher pages and reading all the amusing
phlogs for some days, I decided that it's about time for some
javascript, css and ad-tracking detox, so I created this little
gopherhole. I hope that I will find the time to make some old content
available here as well.
I've always been attracted to alternative technologies, and Gopher fits
perfectly! Most of my work days, I extensivly use command line
tools. Not sure about my workflow for Gopher yet, so I'm playing around
with some of the available tools. 'burrow' seems quite nice, though it
might need some hacking to suit my needs.
Anyway, if you have any comments, drop me a line at "jan [at]
