Emotional State: Electric! [=x-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x= Man, I feel charged tonight! I'm at one of the local inspiration points were kids go to park, or at least they used to. The city has placed shipping containers in strategic plac to discourage such nocturnal activities, but I found a nice spot in between. What a night, what a view! What a sunset! It is 81F and we have a nice breeze up here on the hill and I got done just playing my guitar. I'm actually up here doing 2 gopher-related tasks for 2 great ideas by tomasino and solderpunk. One is trying to finish up a gopher request from tomasino regarding the cool zine he is putting together...the deadline is extended. [1] I was one of the people who actually forgot, so I am going to try and submit something for the topic of, "hammer," before the end of the weekend. (edit: it's actually due Saturday Morning, GMT :( ) The other task is for a request from solderpunk.[2] He had requested for the phlogosphere to go phlog off...grid, outside, somewhere I usually do not phlog. Well, this is the place and I am phlogging on the battery-powered AlphaSmart dana.wireless. The entry will be transmitted via Gemini PDA via my car's wifi, via ssh, live and direct to SDF from inspiration point overlooking the downtown grid of Los Angeles! The transmit mechanism on the dana is pretty cool. You connect to the Gemini via USB, you open AlphaWord, and hit the "send" button. The text in AlphaWord basically gets automagically typed to the Gemini terminal or whatever USB device is connected. The dana shows up as a keyboard and you can even use it as a USB keyboard on the Gemini/PC/Raspberry Pi/whatever. If you have a chance and you are reading this, I highly encourage you to contribute and participate in the gopherphun! OK, I'm gonna connect to SDF via ssh on the Gemini using the dana as the keyboard tethered via USB and hit "send" to transmit the entry...maybe at 9600 baud? p.s. I'm gonna edit this after with the links to the gopherphun. p.p.s. OK, I get my ROOPHLOCH 2019 participation badge, lolz: ---===[ ROOPHLOCH 2019 ]===--- ---===[ Participant Extraordinaire ]===--- ------ [1] gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/0/%7esolderpunk/phlog/annou [2] gopher://sdf.org/1/users/tomasino/phlog/20190901-hammer-time-ex [=x-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=
