Here's to a new beginning - a phlog in 2024!

The Gopher protocol was first created in 1991. It
was developed by a team at the University of
Minnesota, led by Mark P. McCahill. The protocol
was designed as a distributed document search and
retrieval system, offering a menu-driven interface
to access text-based information across the
internet. Gopher gained popularity in the early
1990s, particularly in academic and research
institutions, before the World Wide Web eventually
became the dominant method for accessing
information online.
