Finally  took  the  time to rework gitary[1].  It no longer needs that
  hacky custom markup language. Code size went down by 50%.

  Just found the first installation of sgopherd[2] in the wild:

  gopher://zelibertinegamer.me/0/about.txt

  Wow!

  Speaking of Gopher servers, it appears a lot of people write their own
  server. There's a tiny server written in rc:

  http://9hal.ath.cx/usr/cinap_lenrek/gophe.rc

  Some guy wrote his server in lua:

  gopher://gopher.conman.org/1Gopher%3aSrc%3a

  And  some  other  guy  wrote  it in Oracle Nashorn, which I have hever
  heard about before:

  gopher://gopher4all.com/1about

  Weird. I thought I was the only one who doesn't use one of  the  "big"
  servers like Gophernicus. :-)


                           ____________________


  And  speaking  of  Gopher  in  general,  there are *still* new servers
  popping up. Not a lot, of  course,  but  still.  It's  fascinating.  I
  wonder  when  Gopher  is  going  to die -- and if it ever will. Unlike
  other "old systems" like BBSes, which required you  to  directly  dial
  into  them,  Gopher  runs on the Internet. So, I guess, as long as the
  Internet is around, Gopher will be around.
