Earlier last year, I had tried to start posting some content here. I
quickly realized that I wasn't sure how to balance posting here with
posting content on my main website. I preferred having all of my
thoughts and notes in one location and I also didn't want to spend
time deciding whether a post should go here on there instead. I'm
still not sure if I'll really be using this space to its fullest
potential but at least I'll have one piece of content under my belt
after typing this up.

Speaking of spreading myself too thin, I recently spoke with ~ben of
tilde.team regarding how I felt like I was biting off more than I
could chew. After creating an account with SDF and later with one of
the tildes, I started feeling guilty about having access to all of
this cool stuff that I wasn't really using. Part of is due to lack of
time but most of it is due to the aforementioned reasons, namely not
being able to figure out which content should go where and not having
any good ideas as to what I should be creating in these personal
spaces on the web.

I have been checking out the Gemini protocol as well over the past
year. It's hard to keep up with content posted there let alone all of
the content in my RSS feed and on Gopherspace, but the excellent
Lagrange[1] client is such a pleasure to use that it has given me
more of an incentive to spend at least a little time every now and
then checking out exclusive Gemini content. While doing exactly that
today, I came across a nice mobile client[2], which then led me back
to the iOS Gopher client by Charles Childers[3]. I had thought about
buying this client on a few occasions but seeing as how I didn't
spend a ton of time on Gopherspace and moreover, it's unlikely that
I'll ever own another iOS device, I held off. However, it seems as
though he has released the client for free. I was a bit sad to see
this because as far as I'm aware, Apple charges developers a hefty
yearly fee for the "privilege" of using the App Store and of course
developers have no other channels through which they can offer mobile
applications. I felt guilty for not buying it when I had the chance.
It's worth showing support for this type of software but it's nice
that maybe a few more people will now have access to a good mobile
client.

I'll still try to continue figuring out how to make good use of this
space. For now, I don't have much to contribute but maybe that will
change before the dust gets too thick.
