Welcome to my gem port. Feel free to dock your pod here and browse through my thoughts and rambles.
For more than a year now I've been trying to get a web-based blog online, but I'm too picky when it comes to the overall design of the thing, and too easily distracted.
As a result I've also not been writing actual blog posts because part of me feels like I should first finish it before adding more content.
With the Gemini protocol gaining quite some traction with the people roaming the Fediverse, and its focus on content rather than design, I figured I could perhaps try to publish the articles on my own GemLog. Gem-port? Glog? Not quite sure about the right nomenclature. ;)
Here's a list of posts that are currently accessible on this server:

I still plan to put a bit more of a directory structure into them, so don't consider these links as permalinks yet. :)
Of course I don't want to have to completely rewrite my posts. I've already done that once from Markdown to AsciiDoc... I also would like the option for future gem-log entries to be usable for the web-log once I get that up and running.
As AsciiDoc is quite a bit more versatile than Gemini's Gemtext, this meant I had to convert the texts somehow, and lose quite some functionality, such as collapsible content-warning sections, inline links, and styling.
Sadly, pandoc does not support direct conversion of adoc to gemtext, so I had to write some scripts to chain asciidoctor, pandoc and md2gemini together, as well as clean up the resulting markdown files.
Since the original posts were written with HTML output in mind, it relies heavily on in-line links, and the description of said links might not be quite as optimised for a gem-log.
Posts also still contain hashtags, which on the web-log are meant to link to my Mastodon posts that contain those hashtags. Eventually I'll add a post-processing script that will strip these.
I hope that the current conversion scripts do a decent enough job at making my original posts accessible, and will encourage me to write new ones on a more regular basis.
While I eventually plan to have all the source files for the articles, as well as the conversion scripts and other tools up on one of my Git repositories, and would welcome fixes through a pull-request, that currently is not yet the case as everything lives solely on my server and on my local dev machine. In time I'll have all this in a public repo, but for now you are free to point out my errors and mistakes via one of the contact methods below:
