[gopher] Virtualized gopher...

Would someone mind telling me if they can get to 
gopher://digger.nimitzbrood.com ?

I just started virtualizing my servers and moved my pygopherd server to 
a VM.  (NetBSD on VMware 4.1)

The content hasn't changed but there should be a text file saying that 
the host is digger.

Hopefully I can get to doing something cool with it later this year.  
Finally coming up for air after being employed again after 3 years. ^_^

[gopher] free gopher surfing at Telenet; maybe also others?

Hi,

Here in Belgium there are two major Telecom company’s. On of them is Telenet. Customers who have internet service form them have also access to many wifihotspots.

That are unprotected networks. But when you request a website you are redirected to a page where you need to login so you can browse the web.

But I have noticed if you do not login you can not browse the www, but gopher, that works! 

Maybe there are also other wifi service providers who have not bothered to block gopher in your country ?

Walter

[gopher] Personal gopherspace

Greetings,

with the availability of the 2007 Gopherspace Mirror at archive.org [0] I've always wondered if it would be possible to recreate a working replica of the gopherspace on my own machine. I'm thinking of something like OldUse.net [1] does for usenet.

Has anyone attempted such thing? I assume it would be like a honeynet, just that it's real daemons, handing out real content.


Cheers,

Florian

[gopher] Gopherus - a console-mode gopher client

Hi all,

I released today a new gopher client called "Gopherus". It is a 
console-mode client available for DOS, Windows and Linux. It must be 
noted that it's not using a real console on non-DOS targets, but a 
terminal emulation via SDL.

Some of you might remember 'ddwarf' - another gopher client of mine, 
that I wrote about 4 years ago. Gopherus is visually very close to it, 
altough it doesn't share any code with ddwarf. I wanted to recreate a 
totally new gopher client, using the experience I gained on ddwarf.

Unlike ddwarf, Gopherus is written in plain ANSI C (C89), therefore 
porting it to other platforms should be quit easy (should such need arise).

The gopher page of Gopherus is right here:
  gopher://gopher.viste-family.net/1/projects/gopherus/

For those gopher-impaired, I made also a quick http website:
  http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/software/gopherus/

Regards,
Mateusz Viste

[gopher] Introducing Gopherfeed

Greetings list,

I thought folks here might care to hear about a new free software
project of mine, called Gopherfeed
(https://github.com/lmaurits/gopherfeed).  As the name suggests, it's a
tool for converting RSS/Atom feeds into Gophermaps, which can make it
very easy to quickly set up a gopher interface to existing material
online, or to use a gopher client as a minimalist feed reader.  You can
see an example of the sort of thing Gophermap can do at
gopher://luke.maurits.id.au/1feeds.  That page is updated hourly from a
cron job with a single command.

I have just released Gopherfeed 1.2, which is the result of about a
week of testing and debugging on my own site.  While Gopherfeed is
probably still far from bullet-proof, I think it should be fairly
robust by now, with all the most obvious bugs worked out.

There are more advanced features I would like to add (like using
etags / Last-Modified headers to avoid fetching feeds which haven't
changed since last time, and using multiple threads to speed up pulling
down large numbers of feeds), but before I dive into that I want to
make sure that the Gopher side of things is working well, since I'm
fairly new to Gopher technology.

I would appreciate if interested people could give Gopherfeed a spin
and let me know how it works with various gopher servers and clients
and on various OSes and Python versions, since my own testing has been
pretty limited.

Gopherfeed has been uploaded to PyPi, so if you have
setuptools, distutils, pip or anything like that installed you should
be able to install it simply via:

easy_install gopherfeed
or
pip install gopherfeed
etc.

Once installed, you can get usage instructions by just running
"gopherfeed" with no arguments, or you can see the README file on
Github.

Hope this is of use/interest to some of the people here.

Cheers,
Luke

[gopher] jgopherd rewritten

Hello, it's been a long time! Don't mind the new email address.
I decided to rewrite my jgopherd, because I was a total java noob and
wasn't proud of the code I wrote.

Still at the same repo: https://github.com/richardg867/jgopherd - no
external libraries required.
The code and server are much better - uses thread pools, supports Buck
moles (finally!), properly searches jars for a mole, and has directory
indexing and a stats page backed by internal moles.

Still unsure about some stuff - if I'll re-do the HTTP interface
(Cameron's proxy is always better), if I should keep the code to
automatically disable execute-flag mole detection if it's running on
Windows, if I should cache jar moles, among other stuff.

I also rewrote the imgur and reddit gateways, but they need somewhere
to go. The server where my old gopherspace was on was kinda
unreliable, but it's showing signs of becoming reliable.

[gopher] GopherVR running on Cygwin

Working on all its glory: http://i.imgur.com/I4XW8os.png

Only two steps to make it compile with make linux:
- Extend the OS X special case to __CYGWIN__ in gopher/object/Regex.h
because NTFS is *also* case insensitive.
- Remove OS X specific cflags in gophervr/Makefile

Here's the binary: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/861751/Gopher/gophervr-cygwin.zip
Should only need X11 and motif (it's available as a package) to run.
Building on the other hand, I haven't tracked down what do you need to
build it, but I had to install libXt-devel and libXm-devel.
