zlg's Guestbook
This is where you can leave feedback for me to read. I typically
won't censor anything except spam and harassment. It's especially
useful if you know of any Gopherspaces that are worth reading! If it's
interesting to me, it might end up in the "Other Gopherholes" page.
When commenting, tell me about yourself and/or what brings you to
gopherspace. It'd be nice to see how far my little gopherhole is
reaching!

punctuation, and they can perform different functionality when
a string is appended to them. My personal reason for coming to

Hi from gopher://haydenvh.com:73. I saw some discussion of gopher
clients here, so I thought I'd chip in with one that I found
and started modifiying and maintaining. The original source is
http://github.com/kieselsteini/cgo, and my version of it can be
found here git://haydenvh.com/cgo. The client is written in C, and
there is a small shell script that goes along with it, that is
used as a plumber, for handing off files to be opened by external
programs. All navigation is done with the k

@42: It is indeed one of the easiest ways to find feeds, since
they tend to hang out in the head element. It's not so easy
to find in a mobile browser, though, which is why I added the
extra link at the bottom. Thanks for the tip though! --zlg

Hey, so I was just reading your post about RSS feed
discoverability, and I found that the simplest way for me to
find the feeds was by using firefox to look directly as the
source of the page. It's usually near the top of the page, and
one can search the source to find the feed.

@39: Thanks! It's a simple fix, and doesn't disrupt the
average site design due to how common footers with lists of
links are. As a side note, lynx seems to cut off my database
queries once it reaches the edge of the screen... Does it do
that for you? --zlg

2018-07-29 03:42
the bit about adding a visible link to your feed is a very
good suggestion. lynx will still show feeds at the top, but
the share of the browser world held by lynx is tiny. - jynx

@13 I checked your gopherhole out just the other night and
like how each page's content is behind a 'link', so it's not
inundating the navigation. Self-hosting is a great idea,
and becoming more attractive as more companies try to run
analytics on people. Stay safe out there, and thanks for

the design of many things suffers as a result. Thanks for

Great gopherhole! I'm digging my own at dusted.dk but it may

Guten Tag, mein Freund! I grew up with SNES, and MMX was
my absolute-favorite cartridge. The thing is, my parents
got most of my games used, which never came with a manual.
I never asked questions; I just played them and see'd what
happen'd. Over time, people just started asking more and more
questions, afraid to "just do it and see what happens." Props
for remembering Super Metroid too. What a fantastic lot of
entertainment. --Brian G

@6: Yeah, Firefox has been odd ever since the Australis UI
got pushed. With Hello, Pocket, and the upcoming deprecation
of their extension system, Mozilla is taking things in a
direction I'm not sure is best for the Web. I enjoyed the
ideas that uzbl represented: using an embeddable browser
engine and creating simple plumbing around it to facilitate
user needs is the most UNIX-y way to do it, and has the
potential to build a broad and active community. afaik, uzbl's
not even active anymore, which is a shame.

So-called "modern" web browsers mostly suck. That is why
SeaMonkey ("unofficial" community-driven software) is better
than Firefox (official commercial product of the Mozilla
Foundation).

I've had similar results in Firefox and noticed the same
things, except text files would never render in UTF-8 unless
I told it to. The last time I checked up on Firefox settings,
upstream seemed to have actively removed UTF-8-by-default
stating "UTF-8 is not a legacy encoding so we
shouldn't list it in fallbacks." I'll recheck my settings to
see if I can find a way around it. Good to know Floodgap's
listing is bringing some visitors! :)

2016-06-26 00:11
There is a way to use OverbiteFF with UTF-8 by default
(without any manual switching). I use SeaMonkey with
OverbiteFF extension for Gopher. My settings are:
1)Settings->Languages->Encoding by default->UTF-8;
2)View->Encoding->Autodetection->None in SeaMonkey graphical
menu. The result? All Gopher menus (type 1) and text files
(type 0) are rendered as UTF-8. But if I encounter a Gopher
menu or a text document in any encoding other than UTF-8, I
have to manually switch. P.S.: I came across your hole through
