First gopherversary                                         2022-12-23

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since I said hello[1] on
the gopherspace and wrote my first phlog, and that a new year will be
here in just a few more days.  Like last year, this one also flew by
for me -- but more on that later, maybe in a 'New Year 2023' post.

Through this past year I learned about some great folks and their
gopherholes and/or phlogs, which I enjoyed browsing and reading.
Here are some of my favourites:

I also gave a talk at LibrePlanet 2022 earlier this year about what
an internet beyond the [current] web could like, inspired in part by
gopher.  The presentation slides, speaker notes, and video recording
for 'The Net beyond the Web'[2] are available.

For my next year of gopher, I'm hoping to get the first releases of
my gopher server and client projects out of the door, and also to
continue finding even more awesome gopherholes and phlogs to follow.

Speaking of which, the moku pona instance hosted by tomasino and
logout's Bongusta! are two gopher aggregators that are great for
discovering new gopherholes and finding others in the gopherspace,
and I highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already:

  gopher://gopher.black/1/moku-pona/
  gopher://i-logout.cz/1/bongusta/

Take care, and so long for now.
