Welcome to the Doctors geminarium. Still trying to figure out what to do with this place.

# My Geminarium
|
||||
|
||||
Hoping to use this kind of a blog of me learning about the Gemini project/protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
## The spec

|
||||
## Gemini Clients I've tried
|
||||
|
||||
### Bombadillo
|
||||
|
||||
### GemiNaut
|
||||
Great cli client. It's also a gopher client.
|
||||
|
||||
## GemiNaut
|
||||
|
||||
* Windows client
|
||||
* Can do gemini, gopher, and I think html. Need to double check that last one.
|
||||
* Written in c#

## Things I've found in the Gemiverse that made me smile

## Odd random thoughts
|
||||
|
||||
### More then gopher, but less then modern html/css/js
|
||||
So I'm old. My first computer was a Commodor VIC-20, and first experance of
|
||||
internet type stuff was dialing into BBS back in the early 80's. Or using one
|
||||
of the public terminals at the library to get into the few gopher systems. Which
|
||||
to 12 or 13 year old me, thought that was just the coolest thing ever. So I'm
|
||||
guessing that one reason I like Gemini so much, is that there is a sense of
|
||||
nostilga to it. But also my dislike of what the modern day consumsion of
|
||||
information on the internet has turned into.
|
||||
|
||||
From that time I had a few other computers, till I got to college and got to use
|
||||
a trully multi-user system. A Digital Equipment Corp VAX 6520, and two
|
||||
MicroVax's that the computer science department ran. And while the school had a
|
||||
couple graphical workstations. Also most all comuter access was done over text
|
||||
terminals. VT100's, VT220's, and VT320's. This as the late 80's. It was all
|
||||
text based, and wonderful.
|
||||
|
||||
Why is this important? Well I like to think that what you read is more
|
||||
important, then how you read it or how it's displayed. Which is something that
|
||||
modern web stuff seems to like to make you think is more imporant. Where they
|
||||
like to show you little bit sized chuncks, that get them more views and clicks,
|
||||
because you have to keep clicking to just read more of the content. And yes, I
|
||||
understand how this all came about.
|
||||
|
||||
Also IMHO, it seems like we are asking web sites to do more and more then they
|
||||
where ever designed to do.From that time I had a few other computers, till I got
|
||||
to college and got to use a trully multi-user system. A Digital Equipment Corp
|

|
||||
|
||||
Also IMHO, it seems like we are asking web sites to do more and more then they
|
||||
where ever designed to do. There are so many layers, frameworks, and libraries
|
||||
that must be loaded, that everything is bloated beyond imagein. Or maybe it's
|
||||
we are asking web browsers to do more then they should ever be asked? I had to
|
||||
stop running chrome because the insane amount of memory it would take up. I
|
||||
hate to say it, but even the new Microsoft Edge does better on memory. I ended
|
||||
up tring FireFox (talk about going full circle) and it seems pretty good. But
|
||||
this isn't supposed to be about web browsers. This is supposed to be about why
|
||||
I think the Gemini Protocal is COOL.

* Share info easily. If you can write markdown, you can create a gemini .gmi
|
||||
file. Really doesn't getting any simpler then that.
