ROOPHLOCH 2024 and tempering excitement
I've only been in Geminispace for a bit over a week now and when I read about ROOPHLOCH, I thought "next year".
However here I find myself in a graveyard, early in the morning, listening to churchbells. I'm on my phone, in Nano, inside Termux, writing to my downloads folder, uploading through sftp on the dying 3G network. It's a bit cold out, with the late September air finally hitting, after months of scorching heat.
This was actually written on the morning of the 29th, but that is what tempering excitement is about. I don't want to spam Gemlogs, I want to spread them out, to also not fill up aggregators with my musings.
So when I want to write something new I think of, I write it for the next day or the next day, or whichever Gemlog is next, one a day is my self imposed rule.
Some of the excitement
In the making of my glossary, I was helped to even more words I didn't know and yet more concepts built on Gemini.
For years I have been wanting to and thinking about making a flatfile database, as modern filesystems have taken on features that mimic backup and security behaviour of databases, so it seems to me that maybe blob binary databases isn't necessarily the best way anymore.
So I think you can guess what tomorrow's Gemlog will be about.
