Welcome to my phlog.

I have recently discovered[0] gopher, or rather recently discovered
gopher still existed and used by people. I discovered sdf.org and
managed to acquire myself a gopherhole. Cool, huh.

Now that I have this thing, what will I do with it? If it is like any
blogs I have tried to write in the past, probably ignore it, write a
post every now and again about why I'm not writing. I don't need to
have a phlog that is not maintained to match blogs I don't maintain.

Hopefully I won't do that.

This endeavor is to write something daily. A journal of sorts, if you
will. The topics will probably center around technology, software, and
whatever projects with I happen to be involved, either for $DAYJOB or
personal.

I'll start by talking about writing this post. I find this somewhat
entertaining. I am ssh'ed into my shell account at sdf.org using emacs
without X. When flyspell highlights a word, I'm used to hitting
<mouse-2> to run (flyspell-correct-word); I am unable to sort out
exactly how to do this with emacs-nox. I will look utilizing tramp for
the next post.

I'm actually enjoying writing this. I don't feel obliged to add links
to external references.

[0]: Well, I guess I shouldn't say recently discovered. I was aware of
gopher, I guess in the mid 90s. Before www, before the interwebs. I
was living in the sticks in the 90s running a Fidonet BBS on OS/2.
