Title: Gophernicus
Date: September 09, 2026

  I decided to dump pygopherd for gophernicus, as I'm going
to try and learn C anyway. Might as well start by pulling
from various things I enjoy and learning from their source
code. Already been doing a bit of that with a MUCK software
I've toyed with[^0], and with an older blogging SSG made in
Perl[^0].

  Yeah, I know. It's not Rust. I don't care. I prefer the
old-school, and it's my choice.[^1]

  I kinda wanna look through the lynx source code as well,
once I have a more solid footing on the basics of C, and of
progamming in general again. Perl knowledge can only take
me so far with how limited my own skills are, but I gotta
(finally) start somewhere, and it's never too late to start
trying.

  Plus, it'll give me a chance to get into ancient code
that I've been wanting to dive through. Stuff like old
usenet and mail clients, and older DOS BBSes, for example.

  ... Now I kinda want to set up a local BBS. Great...[^2]

[^0]: Not linking here because I don't have my fork up on
      a forge just yet, and I've been making changes for
      my own needs.

[^1]: Can you tell I've been severely burned by Rust super-
      evangelists in the past?

[^2]: Not a bad thing, just another item on the list.
      Maybe I should look into Syncronet or something.
