---------------------------------------- The essence of gopher July 03rd, 2018 ---------------------------------------- Our dear friend cat is at it again. He recently flew the coop from SDF and has planted his seed in a new project called baud.baby [0]. He's a resourceful guy and has quickly conquered some of the more tedious aspects of getting your own gopher hole up and running. Kudos, cat! (TXT) [0] baud.baby His most recent phlog touches on one of his passions, vintage phones [1]. In my humble opinion it is EVERYTHING that gopher should be summed up into a microcosm of aussie geekdom. It has passion for a vintage technology, collection, curation, more technical details than you could have imagined, and a neverending thirst for more. It's also beautiful. His manual text layouts really shine on things like his phone collection page [2]. (TXT) [1] A bunch of Touchfone stuff (DIR) [2] Weirdly Specific Collection of Phones I've run across similarly brilliant curation in places like mateusz's DOS software repository [3], or Logout's new ASCII table [4], or dbucklin's intelligence analysis documents [5]. This stuff is gopher gold. (DIR) [3] mateusz's DOS software repository (DIR) [4] Logout's ASCII table (DIR) [5] dbucklin's Intelligence Analysis Documents I've been really phlog focused in the past, but I think that overlooked some of the best stuff around. Now I'm finally starting to add more links to these collections and repositories over on my Gopher Places [6] section. Check it out and discover some awesome. (DIR) [6] Gopher Places
