Evening. I  probably should be sleeping,  so I'm going to  try and
       make this entry  brief. Besides, this is really just  a prep entry
       anyways.
       
       As you may  already know, September is ROOPHLOCH  [1] month, where
       we attempt to phlog outside and off grid. Last year didn't happen,
       so I  felt determined to at  least show up for  this one. Anyways,
       I've had plans to make something like this happen, but I needed to
       lay that groundwork. And even with a nice holiday weekend, I still
       managed to distract  myself until the last minute. At  least I did
       accomplish some  stuff, instead  of leaving  a wake  of unfinished
       stuff per usual.
       
       This  year, I'm  planning on  using APRS  to phlog  using a  basic
       tailphlogger whipped  up in python.  Many thanks to M0YNG  for the
       framework with the APRS to Mastodon  script, which I used to start
       off. It's by no means complete, and  I want to fix some stuff like
       sending back ACKs to prevent  retransmits, etc instead of the dupe
       check, but the handy method I had hoped existed didn't, so I think
       some raw  text processing  will be  needed to  make it  happen. Or
       maybe I could roll it into aprslib and submit it upstream. Hmm.
       
       A link to the  listings [2] will be below, and  if anyone wants to
       give  it a  whirl, please  send me  a message/irc/whatever  on the
       zaibatsu if  you're there or  contact me  on ~team and  I'll enter
       your callsign into the username map and give you the details.
       
       Anyways, it's late. Night.
