I published my ROOPHLOCH entry for 2020 over on my gopher site (and incidentally my web site, since they're generated from the same source, but let's not dwell on that for now).
I'm conveniently including it for you below, because this is text, and it's cheap to copy over. I have reformatted it for Gemini!
As is the tradition, I am writing this blog outdoors, for Solderpunk's ROOPHLOCH 2020 challenge. I'm in a picnic shelter at Dreher Island State Park, where my family has been camping for the last two days. As an offline exercise, this is not especially successful, because there is WiFi in the campground. In fact, that's why we're camping.

With COVID-19 distancing measures in effect, I'm able to work remotely, and the kids are able to do school. More or less. The network here is pretty good, except that it has a captive portal that drops your connection and requires you to log back in periodically. The tough part has been that there's so much to be done while camping with kids that I ended up having to take leave today, the last day of the trip, instead of trying to work. Lesson learned!
We did get to canoe some yesterday after school, and got to see this dear little copperhead! Apologies for the digital zoom. Even though it was a wee babbie, we didn't want to get close enough to disturb its sunbathing.
