[DIR] Forthworks --------------------------------------------------------------- As of March 2017, I'm exposing my personal projects and content via Gopher. Gopher is a simple protocol for burrowing through TCP/IP. It's simpler than HTTP, and presents an ideal solution for my needs. I work almost entirely with ASCII or UTF-8 text. This has increased in recent years, thanks to things like Markdown, which provide a pretty nice formatting language that looks ok in plain text formats. I've never been fully happy with the process of HTML generation though. Gopher allows me to provide a structured interface to the content I create without needing to go through HTML. And it's usable in a pinch with nothing more than a telnet client. My primary computer is an iPad. I find this to be ideal for my needs: it's very portable, with varied interactions (both keyboard and touch). I'm using Panic's Transmit app to maintain a local copy of this gopherspace. With this I can make edits, add content, then quickly upload to the remote server via SFTP. On my server I am running two Gopher servers. On port 70 I run Atua, a simple Gopher server written in Retro, my personal Forth dialect. On port 80 I run atua-www, which is a quick and dirty HTTP server that exposes my gopherspace to standard web browsers. --------------------------------------------------------------- TXT RFC 1436 [DIR] Atua --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have an old link that doesn't work now, try prefixing it with www. - e.g., www.forthworks.com points to the older www server instead of this gopher server.
