I don't know  about everyone else, but I'm  super excited to
see  that auzymoto[1]  has  joined  tomasino[2] in  creating
their own gopher  server. This can only be  good for gopher.
Auzymoto  noted in  his  post that  there  are benefits  and
downsides to  centralized, shared  servers and  resources. I
agree entirely,  and I feel  that both  ought to exist  in a
healthy and growing  way in gopher as they do  on http. If I
can manage to  get my house sold and move  completed, I plan
on doing likewise.

User  jynx had  a  great  bit of  fun  with  finding a  good
calendaring solution[3]. Google calendar  is one of the last
things  that  I  still  use from  the  monolithic  megacorp,
having abandoned  everything else almost entirely.  I use it
primarily  for my  wife's sake, but I  would absolutely love
to have  a different calendaring solution,  especially if it
could be entirely decoupled from the advertising and privacy
killing  entities. I  want a  calendar for  my use,  not for
others to create and use a profile on my life.

User jebug29 posted about people  pestering him while he is
on vacation[4]. Basically, folks back home know that he does
"technology stuff" and other work,  it sounds like, and they
figure that  if he's around  they get to enlist  his service
when it's convenient  for them. This is probably similar for
anyone  with  a  particular  skill set; people in their life 
will ask for help, not realizing that combined, the requests
can  be  overwhelming.   I've  had  the same experience, and 
continue to have it on a regular basis.

My solution, after I move, is to not tell anyone that I work
with technology. I want to be  a writer and I want to travel
more, so I'm just going to  tell people in my next home that
"I'm a writer, and I travel  a lot." That way, they won't be
asking me for  free tech support, and they  won't be shocked
if  I'm gone  a  lot an  unable to  help  with various  life
chores. I feel like a bit of  a jerk, but I've spent way too
much  of my  life without  proper  boundaries  in this area.
Hopefully  jebug29  will  have  better  luck  setting  those
boundaries early.
