Much to do about nothing

Just thought I'd write something, anything, so here it is.

I'm a  retired guy with  two hobbies,  banging away on  my laptop's
keyboard, and woodworking. I tend to flip from one to the other for
a few months. I had a form of undiagnosed ADHD as a child that bled
into adulthood and I often find  myself on sysyphus's slope when it
comes to  motivation, but  I've leaned  over the  years to  just go
where the wind takes me and not fret too much.

My  wife and  I  and dog  live  in  a tiny  house  in the  Brittany
countryside. We've  had bigger houses  in the  past but due  to the
aleas of  life we wound  up here, and I've  come to realise  that a
small house a lot easier to maintain with our advancing years. Plus
our neighbours are pearls: for example yesterday we received French
beans, cake, 12 eggs, and a had good laugh.

This summer  I built a  shed to  store some hardwood  I recuperated
from some old wardrobes. It was a  big project but I think I nailed
it, ha ha. Anyway it enabled me to clear some space, and I wound up
making a sit down craft space in the boiler room so that I have the
garage for big stuff and the craft space for the fiddly stuff.

In this new space I added a  CPL plug and hooked up a thinkpad T430
I had lying  around and installed this gopher server.  I have a vps
with my mail server but now I  have fibre I wanted to trial serving
from  home. The  low requirements  of  gopher makes  it feel  quite
snappy but I'd love to hear what the result feels like for you.

Spending time  with Gopher means  my wood lathe is  getting lonely,
but  with a  bad back  the confort  of being  an armchair  keyboard
surfer is  hard to avoid, and  my 12" Thinkpas X220  is perfect for
this.

I've  noticed that  many gopher  sites tend  to repeat  links found
everywhere in the gophersphere, so I intend to add as much original
content as I can. Every little helps.

Lunch is up, bye for now.
