subj: gopher hole floppy state 76%
------------------------------------------

This entire gopherhole is mirrored on a 3.5 inch floppy. I've
enjoyed writing about whatever is on my mind, mostly positive
things. The floppy drive is getting pretty full.

"computing my addiction" used up a lot of space. That area of the
disc is not complete mirrored because the text file for the book
Underground is larger than a 1.44 megabyte floppy. It does
reside on the floppy disc, but as a xz compressed file. 
---------------------------------
	:> fdisk -lu  /dev/sdb

	Disk /dev/sdb: 1.4 MiB, 1474560 bytes, 2880 sectors
	Disk model: USB-FDU
	Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
	Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
	I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
	Disklabel type: dos
	Disk identifier: 0x00000000

	Device     Boot Start   End Sectors  Size Id Type
	/dev/sdb1           1  2879    2879  1.4M 83 Linux

	Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
	/dev/sdb1       1.4M 1006K  326K  76% /floppy
---------------------------------
Once I fill up the floppy, I'll format another floppy call it
volume 2, and continue on with the gopher hole

A question for another post:
---------------------------------
Why oh why isn't gopher more popular. Its so dang easy to
publish text files?
