First off, requisite "hello world". My name is Michael, you can find more about me at the homepage here at gem.mjb.im. This is my shiny new gemlog. I've seen a lot of gemini sites (which I think are called Capsules? Is that right?) that mirror other blog locations, and I think that's a generally neat idea, but I'd also like to write some Gemini-specific (or, perhaps even ~exclusive~) stuff.
I've long daydreamed about building a protocol much like gemini. I, like many others, have a fascination with building systems that perhaps don't need to exist but uh...sound real fun to build anyway. But time gets away from me as it tends to do, and I caught wind of Gemini a few months back. After seeing more and more posts about it, I decided I really wanted in. So, excited to be here for real, hosting a server where I really hope I can actually do some fun stuff.
I'd like to play around with a few semi-dynamic parts of this space. Perhaps mirror my twitter feed to a dedicated page here, or have a few programs running and exposed over this site, not quite sure yet all the details, but I'll post when I build something.
As for now, just getitng set up and browsing around, looking for inspiration out here in the quiet drift of the gemini space.
