Happy New Year 02/06/22
------------------------------------------------------------
Well, gopherspace... happy new year!  It's February, so I'm quite late
in my well wishes. But you know what they say about that.

This year (not connected to any sort of resolution), I think I'll move
on from 60col. It was real, and  it was fun... but it wasn't real fun.
I mean, really,  this big wide screen, all this  real estate, and I've
got to resize my terminal so that  my neck isn't craned all the way to
the left all the time? I think it might be time for something else.

Of course,  if you really  think about it,  the only thing  that makes
much sense at all is to not insert line breaks, and to let things wrap
based on the terminal size. The  only problem there is, today's reader
and today's writer aren't really interested  in long form for the most
part. And  so, when  you don't  wrap, you  get a  visually unappealing
sparsity that's no fun for anyone.

But seriously, 60col is pushing it.  Maybe 80 columns, or 100, or some
other magical  number. I know  there have  been actual debates  on the
issue. I don't know if I can be bothered to search them out though.

No matter. Have  a happy new year, no matter  what your terminal looks
like, and no matter what happens with the columns!

Watched the movie  "Harvey" this evening, the one from  1950. The main
character in  that is just  so darn  positive and easy-going.  He just
isn't worried about life. What a way to be!
