After sleeping on it, I decided to not bother with a gophermap file 
for now. Sometimes, the simple approach is better. Today is another of 
those occasional 'work-from-home' days for me. It's nice to be able to 
avoid the morning traffic of Austin, TX.  And with that, it's back to 
my morning coffee and news feeds.

As I use a terminal-only approach for some of my 'daily-driver' 
computer tasks, I'm finding that I tend to prefer it over a GUI 
computer environment. I am mindful that this approach will not negate 
my need to accomodate later tech (Javascript, etc). But it's nice to 
open a howtogeek.com article in Lynx, and not be bothered with what is 
known as a 'dickover'. 

It's a shame that the University of Minnesota tried to charge 
licensing fees for its implementation of the Gopher server back in the 
day. Yes, the Gopher structure is more rigid than HTML. But it also 
avoids the extraneous bells and whistles that come with the modern 
Web. The focus of the Web is placed on the fluff rather than the 
content. 

Now if you will excuse me, there are some clouds outside that need 
some shouting.
