I've made a Gemini Server!

After reading of the gemini project I thought I'd have a go at
hosting a Gemini capsule, alongside the Gopherhole I'm slowly
building.

I followed the advice to use molly-brown as the server in a blog
post [0] I found. It seemed the quickest way to get started.

It's running now, and I'll look at whether I need to change to
another server (e.g. agate) after I've amassed some content.

Although I like gopher, from my limited recent exposure, I think
Gemini might be an interesting thing to get involved in. There's a
risk, of course, of duplicating effort and getting bogged down in
trying to do too many things instead of concentrating on one.

Let's see how I get on. 

The prototype gemini capsule is here:

gemini://g4slv.cloud

There's not much to see, but I'll copy across a few pages, and play
with the gem markup to see how it looks and how much easier it is
to read, and to add links to other pages directly in the page -
something that's not really possible in Gopher, unless you "cheat"
and make your pages all of the gophermap type.
