2022-11-28 - First Post (to myself because I wasn’t on Gemini yet)

I was wishing that Gopher had a less goofy format and that it was a little more popular (or at least popular enough that the clients I was trying to use weren’t so buggy,) and somehow I stumbled over Gemini. It has a slightly unfortunate name (lots of false positives when searching the internet) and the syntax is a little restrictive¹, but I really like the concept.

I write a lot of notes² in Markdown and I’ve been toying with converting them to HTML and publishing them online and making it possible to comment via something like Mastodon. So I’m going to add a new tag to my notes and all of those with that tag will get published to my capsule.

I suppose ideally what I would like is a platform like Gemini, but hosts markdown and then leaves it to the client for formatting, but let’s face it, there’s no single Markdown standard, so Gemini will work just fine.

Trying not to over engineer this, my plan is to:

So I’ll need some second-level processing to:

Yeah, so let’s see how far we make it. The page file names are a good indication of how much time passed between writing posts and actually getting to publish them.

Future content will probably still be a little meta for a while with regard to the structure I’m using, but some of my plans will include talking about my system setup, my pine phone, some games, and other hobby projects.

Footnotes

I can’t do inline links, so I’m going to experiment with totally non-standard hackery.

I really like inline links, and that’s a no-no in Gemini. I can’t just publish my notes wholesale and use Gemini as a convenient way to access and review them because there would be a lot of post processing needed.

The notes are all over the place, ZK style, content ranges from philosophy, psychology, rhetoric, stoicism, … It’s stuff I’m reading and making notes on, or stuff I’m learning, or stuff I want to be able to look up or reference later, etc.

I found a Pandoc Lua filter.
