The last few days I was starting to set up things on SDF and starting to
look for interesting people.

I started with this gopher hole. I never used gopher before and I'm
learning how to do things. I always forget to use the TAB space instead
of space (^_^;). I'm also learning about gemini and in the future I'm
going to dual publish on gopher and gemini.

I started looking around some gopher holes of my fellows at SDF, there
is a lot of content and very interesting things. I'm feeling the very
same way when I started to use the www on the 90s. It is liberating to
see again real people's works, projects, ideas, interests,...

Second thing I did was requesting a mastodon account after requesting
it on mastodon.sdf.org I was informed that there is another instance for
members only but I don't want to waste resources so I keep my current
account (not a big deal). On Mastodon I started to connect with people
who do interesting things like @elb, go checkout his peertube channel at
https://toobnix.org/video-channels/elb_channel

Today I created my website at http://syntaxerror.sdf.org a simple site
that renders ok on regular browsers and on text-only browsers. Its main
purpose is to redirect people here and to verify me on Mastodon.

I'm also forcing myself to do everything with the nice resources offered
here at SDF.org instead of doing them on my computer and upload files. It
is interesting to see how different is my emacs with all my customizations
and a plain vanilla emacs without any customizations (for now ;p).

My website at http://syntaxerror.sdf.org is not loading yet but it's not
critical. I will check it out again tomorrow.
