Congratulations to Julien, who is getting married![1] Leeb, I like your website[2]. Whether or not you switch to gopher depends on what you need to do[3]. I have a few different pages and they've all been neglected since I found gopher. HTML markup is annoying. Writing is so much more natural without it. That being said, stay tuned to Solderpunk's phlog, because he's got something new up his sleeve that might interest you. xiled, that's a nice pda/phone collection[4]. Oddly, I spent a few hours on the weekend reflashing the CF card in my LifeDrive. Apps were getting corrupted and I'm not sure why. The card hasn't seen a lot of use, so I hope wear is not the issue. If it is, the original microdrive is still laying around somewhere, but the device is so much faster with the solid state storage. I guess the next thing on my agenda will be playing around with a raspberry pi zero w. Sloum's colorfield.space has really inspired me, as have the handheld prototypes on n-o-d-e.net. You can do so much with such a low-spec, inexpensive computer. So I picked up a zero w and added a regular zero to the order as well. There's already a USB ethernet cable around here somewhere. The ethernet version will become a pi-hole DNS server for my LAN, I think. We'll see. The wifi version may turn into a DIY handheld. Fun stuff for weekend projects. I'll save the rest of my Christmas windfall until the Pine64 linux phone is released. As far as 'culture' goes (can I even call it that?), I'm watching the 2004 Battlestar Galactica series. I caught snippets of it back when it first ran, but wasn't able to watch regularly or catch onto the storyline. It's nice to be able to finally watch it from start to finish. Back in 1978-79, I watched the original series every Sunday night.... Well, that's almost true. On the first night, it was pre-empted by a Middle East peace agreement involving Jimmy Carter, Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat. The network may have run the rest of the premiere afterward in the US, but they didn't in Canada. Grumble, grumble, curse. Eight- year-old me wasn't impressed. But I never forgot who those people were. So that's something.
