What's up? About ROOPHLOCH and Phlog-roll and Phloggers garage
==============================================================

The summer  has passed, and  the autumn has  come. It would  seem that
nothing  is  happening. However,  Gophersphere,  in  her little  size,
clearly shuddered in  its foundation. So Solderpunk  has just finished
and summarized  [ROOPHLOCH 2023 round  up]. This  year I also  did not
join  the event,  but I  support it  strongly and  finally realize  my
idea. After  a number of Matto  entries, I was inspired  to write more
often on my Phlog. This is not  visible on this Phlog (nor Bongusta or
Gopher  Club) because  I  created  a second  Personal  Phlog for  this
purpose. And there I  managed to write for over a  month every day. In
addition to  the fact  that Matto  encouraged me to  act, it  is worth
noting that the active writing movement  has gained its channel on IRC
as Matto  described it in  [Welcome at the Phloggersgarage]  and their
own  mini  aggregator [Addition  of  a  phlog-roll]. I  encourage  all
interested parties to be active on their phlogs! And in your free time
to join IRC.

What  is my  secret  for  everyday writing?  I  try  like my  favorite
[Gopherhole in Tokyo,  Japan] write about what happened on  a day on a
regular  basis. My  goal  is  mainly to  develop  ease  of writing  in
English, which, unfortunately, is not as  good as I would like. By the
way, it is  possible that someone considers as interesting,  what I am
writing about. It  seems that, like Tokyo, it is  exotic for those who
do not live  there, the other of us live  in such diverse environments
that sometimes things are obvious to us, are a small culture shock for
others.

How to  write every day?  For  me, the basis  was to develop a  way of
writing  on a  mobile  device. Then  at any  time,  e.g. driving  mass
transport, I can record  a few sentences.  And at the  end of the day,
publish them from a mobile device directly on Gopherhole. I don't have
enough time  to always sit at  a full-fledged keyboard and  do it with
SSH. Support in writing on the keyboard of a mobile device, predicting
words and  correction of typo  allow you  to write quite  quickly. The
only problem was the lack of native support for SSH in iOS.

It is obvious to install an application acting as an SSH customer, but
operating  on  a small  screen  using  vim  or  emacs editors  is  not
convenient. I noticed that /blink.sh/ (one  of the SSH clients on iOS)
has    additional   integration    with   the    native   iOS    Files
application. I.e. You can combine a  special local folder, which is an
indication of a remote SSH folder.  I only missed the text file editor
- it is  interesting that  iOS also  does not  give support  here. The
application /getdrafts.com/ turned out to be helpful. This application
seems to be perfect for this purpose.  This is how I manage to publish
a few words every day.
