@xmanmonk In my house we are fond of saying "Je suis en retard" and you know? Nobody chides us for it.

@solderpunk I am enjoying the show, thank you for archiving it!

@mrmortezaa you could try it if you can get access to a gopher server. Asking the fediverse is a good way to start. The gopher phlogging community is much smaller than the blogging community: last month I learned there are 260 active gopher servers.

Here's a webpage with a little gopher tutorial: http://sdf.org/?tutorials/gopher

@dbucklin, @kensanata, @solderpunk and @tomasino know much more about gopher phlogging than I do and can answer more indepth, technical questions.

@mrmortezaa it is a kind of log, you guess correctly. (We)blogs are typically hosted on websites and delivered by multimedia browsers through hypertext transfer protocols. (Go)ph'logs are plaintext logs delivered via the gopher protocol.

That was funny in spots. When I get #SDF #VoIP I'm going to have Ennio Morricone be my soundtrack or "Holiday for Strings" https://hooktube.com/watch?v=9fZdsosM2wo

I am listening yes. you are on the air.

@jebug29 I bet @tomasino made the Fisher Stevens comment. So Gen X. @Cat

hahaha

who's on Open VoIP? My tot is yammering and my speakers are not powerful.

it was soothing to see so many present and future sdf friends on COM for Intergalactic Wasabi Mix hour on anonradio

When I clean up and am in a better mood I might phlog about my April 1989 hangout sessions with My Bloody Valentine

@RussSharek tbh it's tricky to navigate through tens of thousands of invisible, ever-shifting, unstated personal codes of conduct. I know people who were banned from a popular, venerable site's BBS for ten and a thousand years respectively for making a joke about the snowglobe in a "St. Elsewhere" episode, and for attending to his very young children when the admin wanted his attention.

George Cameron, drummer/singer for 1960s baroque pop band "The Left Banke", died June 24 at age 70. I learned Michael McKean (yes, the Spinal Tap member and actor) was also a member of The Left Banke once upon a time.

I solved a #geocache puzzle written in #perl, and earned my first ever 'First to Find' geocache. 'Twas a good day.

@saper
No, I wanted an awk command for two pattern-match expressions I could adapt.

In the below example, I can vary the word length by changing the digit after == in the first expression, and I can use [^aiouy] to match any consonant plus an e, place those and known consonants and es between the (/ /) to get a list of possible matches, for a crossword puzzle.

awk '(length($1) == 6) && (/s[^aiouy]ee[^aiouy]e/) { print $1 }' efile.txt

@xmanmonk @gemlog I know you boys will excuse me while my mind feasts on this Pulitzer Prize dense goodness, and my ears feast on jazz, and my tongue does... I dunno, lap up bourbon or something. à Bientôt

@gemlog @xmanmonk I'm sipping my husband's bourbon and reading _Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid_
