Rebooting things 05/25/21 ------------------------------------------------------------ Well, I lost about a year of phlog entries, because I hadn't put my backups in order and I had a snafu. I'm not upset, as gopher is just a place for me to get things out of my head, and connect with the world in a way. Much of what I write is just moments. A little disappointed perhaps, but not upset. On the positive side, this is a wonderful opportunity to reboot my gopher participation, and it happens to coincide with the deletion of my mastodon account. That doesn't matter a ton, because I was barely active on mastodon. But, it matters a little, because I was spending some amount of time scrolling (I shudder as I say it) through that content, instead of *reading* on gopher. So, this little snafu is really just an opportunity for a reboot, and I'm going to take it. No particular expectations of myself, just minor alterations in habit. I fully expect those minor alterations will be pleasant.
